Comment by sindre sortland on November 21, 2013 at 7:02am: ...jeg mener selvsagt "customized"... Man får velge mellom ulike vrengdioder. Jeg bygger slike med gitarelevene mine på årets juleverksted 11./12. desember.

Comment by sindre sortland on November 20, 2013 at 11:04pm: Too bad if you do not speak scandinavian:
Takk for det. Jeg bygger fra byggesett laget av min gode venn Claudio Forlini (fra Roma, Italia, av og til i Bergen). I bloggen ligger det en lenke til denne: http://youtu.be/s7P2JA5-CBU
Jeg kan ha min egen TEASTORTION stand (costomized fuzz) på scandinavian CBG festival.

Comment by Martin Christensen on November 20, 2013 at 10:36pm: Kjempe bra side!! Har du flere bilder af gitarene du har bygget? Kunne kanskje tenke mig en teastortion :)
tilbake til engelsk så andre kan være med.

I´l think about a location for it! Lets work on it! :)

Comment by sindre sortland on November 20, 2013 at 10:20pm: I live just behind Bryggen. Building CBGs with kids/youngsters is a great way of making the CBG community grow, and it would be fantastic to have groups of kids perform in a festival. Excited about the idea. What is the best place for it? I put our 3 string CBG arrangements (really easy to slightly advanced) here: http://cigarboxguitar-norway.blogspot.no/?m=1

Comment by Martin Christensen on November 20, 2013 at 10:10pm: I´m born and raised in Bergen :)
Cool video ! Where do you live in Bergen?

Who else could be interrested in a festival?

Comment by sindre sortland on November 20, 2013 at 10:06pm: A Scandinavian CBG festival is possible, but it will probably be a tiny one. I live in Bergen, Norway, play CBG and I build CBGs from kits and home made fuzz boxes with my guitar students (8-17 years). http://youtu.be/SHgoeV8wonE

Comment by Martin Christensen on November 20, 2013 at 8:10pm: Scandinavian Cigar Box Guitar Festival? Possible?

Comment by Brian Wallace on November 15, 2013 at 12:29am: Kjemp bra, ha en god helg. Snakkes

Comment by Bjorn Damsgaard on November 14, 2013 at 1:06pm: Hi Brian! Thanks for wishing me welcome. If you have the time, and "warn" me in advance (I'm not always at home) when you visit your in-laws, please call and we might meet to swap ideas etc. and you maybe will like Larvik too. You find my number in the 180 site.
