Ha!  I call it my version of the Infinite Monkey Theorem.  Given enough time, I'll eventually come up with something worth listening to.

ED, that's called "free jazz." LOL!

Aw, man.  You're killing my Zen.  I picked these up by copying.  My MO is to have a sip of something strong and pick out different patterns until people stop looking at me funny and the cats stop yowling.

If this stuff was hard, I wouldn't be playing it!! I'm a simpleton. For as complex as my music is, it's all smoke and mirrors. This stuff is easy to grasp, easy to play and fun to crank up.

Thanks, TurtleHead.  The message needs to be screamed from the rooftops:  GET OUT AND PLAY!  So many people are getting in a rut of just building these things and perfecting them...  A perfect cigar box guitar?  IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!  These are the peasant instruments.  These are the instruments of the downtrodden.  These are meant to be played.

Get out of the woodshop for once and tune it up.  I'm showing simple tricks and secrets...no music theory, no hard stuff.  This is how I learned.  You can, too.
