    Hello,
    I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee

  • Keni Lee Burgess

    Thank you Tom. Embassador? You know, I am going to China in November. Maybe I should bring along a CBG? Ya, I was delighted too with the Cape Cast. They did a great job. I did not know it was going to be a special piece just about Buskers. Right place...right time. Truly a stellar vacation! Enjoy.

    Tom, here are the links I was talking about. Oh, you and I are in the video on the front page here (~00:55)

    http://www.unknownhinson.com/ - Unknown Hinson
    http://www.macarnold.com/index.html - Mac Arnold. This is the guy near me that built a gas can guitar in the 40s/50s.

    And it was Absolutely WONDERFUL to meet you.

    Thanks Tom, I do like them.

    TC, thanks for the comment ... Solid vs. Stranded wire is mostly personal preference. I've used both with no noticeable difference. Solid will tend to snap if you move it about too much, but aside from that, just use what you got. :-))

    Hey Tom, I put some comments on your clock box. Some folks around here have big issues with making clocks (or purses, or anything else but musical instruments) out of cigar boxes. I happen to like what you did. Others... eh. Anyhow, build on!
