No need for the headphones! Sounds pretty good to me.

Great playing there , what did you use for the drum backing ?

Comment by ShadowChancer on December 6, 2013 at 12:37am

Getting to grips with this thing now , changed my tuning to A,E,A (open A) and it seems a lot better (and the neck might just see xmas without snapping ) ,  heres a quick demo of the Tung-Sol Terror in action  .  http://youtu.be/lMLVUWUFPcE

Just quick heads-up...I've just got a great new book in stock..."An Obsession With Cigar Box Guitars". It's cracking little book by David Sutton, beautifully illustrated with 100 examples, all in full colour. It's a superb source book for ideas and inspiration..a great Christmas present..go on, treat yourself!! Only £8.99 plus postage.


Available from my website - in stock for delivery before Christmas.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned the Seasick Steve documentary on BBC4 last week.  It will be repeated (either tomorrow or a week on Monday).  Here's a link to the iPlayer:

Set your video recorders ( or whatever they're called now!) to BBC4 from 9pm tonight. Runs on for several hours.

A veritable bluesfest.
