never ceases to amaze me how many ways there are to skin a cat so to speak, when it comes to CBGuitars. to many slide players though.........:)

    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

    Kalmario,

    Thank you for the comments and compliments on my #23 build.  It is very comfortable as when you hold it by the larger whole it is almost perfectly balanced and is not top heavy on either end.  Lots of work on this one but it definitely paid off.  Thanks again.
