we ( my family helps me a LOT ) built my first cbg and i find it much less painful than playing a full size instrument . i watched a youtube video and taught myself amazing grace on the cbg . my plan is to learn how to play in open tunings and slide . also i want to make a cigar box bass for my wife so we can make music as a family again . maybe have some percussion for the kids (we have 2 girls) , or a didly bo , vocals etc , but I need to get at least a dozen songs down on my own first .

thanks !
i spent 5 nights on that guitar , just feel silly i didnt try this last year when i first read about this stuff . it was actually more fun / less challenging than i thought . i dont have many tools , skill saw , jig saw , hand stuff , but i didnt miss the fancy stuff . the metal amp was a real headache !
i will check out your recommendations . i know some waits fans so i will find out what the name of that album is and get it . one of he things i want to come up with is some more unusual and organic percussion / drums . right on !
thanks for listening , and the kind words , thats awesome . that cd is 16 years old now ! it still sounds goofy , mission accomplished . speaking of belew he had a "finish my demos" contest , so me and my daughter recorded a duet and snagged 3rd place , we were robbed !
thats too cool you didn't let your accident get in the way of playing i admire that .
see ya round , pt2 .
3rd place , we just did the vocals , i submitted 2 songs , the one i spent a few weeks on , this one took us an hour and a half total , i really prefer the first one , but i kinda talk smack in it so he obviously didn't choose it . the songs that took 1st and second you would have to listen and judge for yourself

Boy did you ever get robbed on that -- hate to say it, I couldn't even get through the first place winner -- just cloying and cheesy and nothing I would ever listen to, I bailed on it before a third through. Yours should've gotten first absolutely -- but I think he went with the other Spies primarily because he loved the counter-harmony guitar figure at the end -- very Frippy -- which I did think was cool as hell. But yours has a clearer concept and more creatively cartoony and fun vocals -- more in line with the vibe of the thing. yup you got robbed. I can't imagine why that first one won. really -- it kinda sucked.
