''You Gotta Move'' AGP #1 - 08 May 2016

Disclaimer: (1) I am not a musician, merely an ex “Ham Fisted Bricklayer”, who
loves building and playing CBG’s.
(2) It’s all slide, as I haven’t got into chords (yet!)
(3) Half the time I do not know what I’m doing, so there will be
mistakes etc.
(4) This Video is in no way an attempt to show off any skills (or
the lack of!), but to merely demonstrate how some of my many
builds sound and differ.
(5) Any “Constructive” criticism is more than welcomed.

I thought it appropriate for my first Video Post, that I use my very first
Build, AGP #1, and from memory the first riff I learnt, “You Gotta Move” in its simplest form, I seemed to adapt to finger pickin’ easier than a plectrum, hence the finger and thumb pick, also used here is one of my lovely “Dave Lynas” ceramic slides.

It’s played through a Roland Micro Cube on Acoustic Channel with Volume, Gain and Reverb all on full, I used a ZOOM Q2 Handy Video Recorder for the Vid.

Comment by Jon trownson on May 2, 2017 at 9:20am: A ham-fisted bricklayer who only plays slide and doesn't know what he, s doing half the time.... You've just described me perfectly mate.... Nice via H

Comment by AGP # on May 11, 2016 at 9:07pm: "Thanks" Rick Alexander, for that much appreciated comment, will post a "Revved Up" version at a later date!!!

Comment by AGP # on May 11, 2016 at 9:03pm: "Thanks" Maddog, I am finding it hard to get of my workshop, just about to post another build, and I've already started on another!!

Comment by Rick Alexander on May 10, 2016 at 12:50pm: That sounds great!

Comment by Maddog on May 10, 2016 at 2:17am: Great ditty Bro! Enjoyed it :-)

I too am guilty of spending all my time in the workshop and not enough time with the playing/practicing part. I am trying to do more of the latter :-)

Comment by AGP # on May 9, 2016 at 2:23pm: "Thanks" RTZGUITARS, Yep!, there is a lot of help on Cigar box Nation, my intention is to get out of the shed, and play a lot more, instead of building CBG's, but it remains to see if that will happen?

Comment by AGP # on May 9, 2016 at 2:18pm: "Thanks" James O Lunsford, for the encouraging comments, and now that I've broken the ice, there will be more!

Comment by RTZGUITARS on May 8, 2016 at 4:17pm: Sounds real good AGP just keep playing a lot of help around here

Comment by James O Lunsford on May 8, 2016 at 2:42pm: Sounds good AGP you done a fine job on playing and guitar amp settings sound good looking forward to hearing you play more.
