Shane, this vid inspired me to make my own style diddey out of a small box and scraps.   I liked it and made another,   the 2nd one needs a bit of finishing up.   Maybe today.  

I have never learned to play a diddley to please me much.  Holy shit.  This is the kind of stuff I ought to learn just to show off a diddley.   Kind of hard to just let the dogs out like you do.  Thanks, man.  Not sure I will get it done soon.  Time or lack of and I love my 3 string.   Maybe.....

Thanks Shane I watch your vids and Keni's good stuff. Bug 10 minute Bow. Everyone has some. Its not a box but works great.

I almost skipped this one as too basic.  Man, glad I saw the vid.  Really good stuff.   I too often over complicate things.

This was a tough concept to develop.  I wanted to make a video using absolutely no music theory. I just wanted to create a lesson where the person had to use their ear to get the song.

Does it work?
