Here's my first three-string fretless guitar made from a cookie tin. The "unplugged" first part is a song I call "Pig Pickin'." The second half is plugged-in noodling.

Thanks for checkin' out the vid, ever'body!

Maddog: believe it or not, it's a solid-state Fender Champion 30 I got sometime around 1999. The tone here was quite a bit fuzzier than I had intended...this amp can make some interesting sounds for as janky as it is. This example almost has that "Zappa honk" tone to my ears, especially the single-note runs.
