Pretty darn fantastic if you ask me. First piece on the guitar too. Impressive, to say the absolute least! 

Thanks so much! I've been playing Guitar for most of my life but this is the first for a cigar box. Darn things are so much fun.

Great! i really liked it!

Thanks so much!

Nice jam. I loved it! Nice sound from that git too.

Very nice, Keep up the good playing. Do you know the pick up and strings used? Thanks for posting.

Not sure about the pick up other than that it's a piezo. I have it strungbuo with the A-G-B strings and tuned up to Bflat-F-Bflat.

It was gifted to me with String A-D-G and tuned G-B-G but I wanted to get some higher notes and the B-String now screams when I add some gain and slide up to the octave!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for the information. As you say, these ar so much fun. Now I'm taking notice that once I get a decent repertoire built with GDg tuning there is still more to explore with other tunings.

Thanks again

Well actually this tuning is no different than GDG, it's just tuned up one and a half steps, or 3 frets. In order to do this without snapping strings though? I had to change the top 2 strings from the d&g to the g&b.

Hope that makes sense.

wow that was cool gd job :):)

Thanks so much!

That was great! Very nice.
