On The Edge, on 2 string Cigar Box Guitar

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

Took the first Cigar Box Guitar I ever built busking today, for the first time in ages.
Still love the sound of it, and it's one of the loudest I've made unplugged.
Did a few improvised things, then did this different version of On The Edge, which is one of the first songs I wrote.

thanks Bear. Keep on building, recycling, building, recycling etc. The ones that work hopefully will make it all worth it!

thanks Jim. Well on this one the neck is somewhat bowed, but as it's fretless and with a high action, I'm still getting away with it.

    Even builds that aren't keepers are worth building as they teach you something...

I broke my first build down to reuse the parts. Not a success at all. I'm still getting very few keepers even now lol. Great song and great sound. I enjoyed watching.

Excellent! My first build was not a keeper.

Good tune, sounds great!

That number one is a winner.   Funny, Linda was down near the den and came right in to check you out.   Nice.
