well said that short piece to camera was a great learning for many of us newbies. cheers
Very Cool ! Thank You for all you do to promote and support all us CBG builders and players !! I think for me it's being able to play music on an instrument that I've built myself ... it's even cooler to build a guitar for someone else to play and enjoy !!! Keep It Primal !!!
You guys are the best.
This site prompted me to build & start playing. THANKS SHANE!!! I remember signing up sometime in 2009 and I believe I was member 600 something.... I had always read about cigar box guitars but hadn't seen one until Lenny from Daddy Mojo had a video up on eBay of a parlor guitar he was selling. In the background were some cbgs. I wanted to hear them! But he only played the parlor guitar. My search led me here....and before long I build my 1st that came.... with an addiction. The sound...the simpleness...all lead back to the roots of modern music.
Thanks again Shane and to all here at the Nation.
Great Playing Shane Like you They ask Me Wry Do You Play Cigar Box Guitar When You Have All Those Factory Guitars Les Paul Two Other Gibson's Gretsch, and Prestege All Great Guitars But There's just something about Playing a Cigar Box Guitar A feeling you just can't get with a factory Guitar. Got Hook after I Built My1st one and found CBN Thanks for Starting this great site and All you Do for the CBG World
Well Shane i play CBG because i found one of your videos somewhere?
I Had all this free wood from a cabinet shop and i was making small pieces of furniture and knickknacks.
I played all kind of instruments and the blues always grabbed me.Harmonica was my main one but i could not make one lol!
I have a binder full of pages designs and Technics collected off the net.
Then i built my first one it was like i now i know what to do with all the wood!
What i love is when other musicians who are not so open say get a real instrument!
Then I plug it in hit that open chord part their hair and watch their eyes bug out!
The CBG does all the talking for me. Some still don't get but most do and the ones who do really embrace the instrument but not just that but the history behind it!!
So keep playing and to coin your phrase stay primal.
So Shane Thank YOU for your time and most of all for the love of it all which i am with you brother!!!!
nice personal explanation. Also great playing!!
Shane, I love the old blues kind of like you do. I learn songs and blues folks by listening to Pandora Radio. It's free on the internet. You can choose 'genre' like Delta or Traditional blues or you can choose individual artists. Good stuff.
Well said. Well played. Thanks for all you've done and all your still doing for our cbg and related worlds.
Cool!!! :>)
