 JP Swenson,my dear friend! Thanks a lot for the very kind words! I am very happy off all the overvelming positive responce,someway I guess It´s the nice and upboasting atmosphere here at CBN that makes me "dare"puting up the videos,Thank you all here for that! It really feels like (as you and I already spoke about) the "roof is very high" here at CBN,Its a place for us all to grow..Do your thing,Dont´get tightened up with rules put up by others as it is all to musch about in the "ordenary guitar world" We´re all doing the same thing,meating the same obsticles when building and success as well when we overcome what ever matter that comes up whith each build. This is CBG´s and some kind we all building,playing them share something,a little bit like a family! That and the fact that CBG`s aint suposed to be no "Steinways",when it comes to the averige build,and its OK whith a little buzz,and even the rusty sound and lack off intonation,I guess that is a big matter when it comes to why I totally love everything about CBG´s(amateur&proffessional) Here I´m "allowed to make mistakes,and that makes me free2! I can really not understand that I´ve recieved all these overwelming connents,Ill keep playing (practising and might one day I´ll be "satisfied mysellf.Yore right about me playing regular guitar Ive been playing in periods since I was 11 years old,but it feels like i´ve been playing the same three chords for all these years.The "tecnique" is actually something i´ve picked up at youtube(the thumbing) when trying to get how the real old school bluesmen played,and it seems that the thumbing is the key.So I really promise any one will get great success playing the blues If they just work on getting that thumb going by it sellf,in front of the TV is a great way to do it,and by the way,you can try to get the melody out on the thinnest string while practicing the thumbthing,I use the thumb and the two fingers closest to it,but everyone should do it the way that feels best for them!  And Minnesota Mike exists!...Ask Uncle John!Yes Minnesota Mike is popular amongst the wimmen,mabye the CBG is the Key to stay "allert" :-) Glad I met you here JP Swenson!

Tor,   Gratulerar!  Bra gjort!  Everyone likes your playing!

Tack ska du ha!  Many good tips on playing.  You're so natural at it, you must have been playing regular guitars for a long time?!  I'll try to do more practicing and less TV watching.

Maddog! Thanks for explaining (hairdo! Glad you like the amp to! :-) Ill try to get to more to have one for the CBG,one for a stomp box and an other for singing,they´re fun! About the hairdo,I prefer it that way since it doesnt grow no mor on top...I think it´s a better "solution than going for the "Robin Hood cut"(Let it grow long on the sides and then comb it over the "empty spot upon the head)! :-) And now knowing what hairdo is I totally agree with you about the look  at the lady in Clock & His Wolfs "enlighting" picture! Clock & His Wolf! Youre Fun! Thanks!
