    No ! its cald a voice Box ,you plug your guitar in to it, then the sound comes out the speaker in to a tube , the tube goes in your mouth, and you reproduce the sound in to a microphone, and the shape of your mouth and manipulations whit your toung produses that spesific talking guitar effect,

    Food for thought: A CallyFest Zoom jam for Cigar Box Nation enthusiasts. I am willing to host it. We could use songs from the Slinger’s GDG 1-finger songbook. Only 250+ songs to choose from. I could lead the songs or we could share the leadership of the songs. You choose the leaders and they choose the song or songs they want to lead. Once the songs have been chosen, I can create a downloadable songbook of the songs for the jam in the order we do them. We can normally do 15 songs in an hour or so. I’ve got some ideas for interaction between the participants that is more Zoom friendly. If we do the Zoom session early in CallyFest, I can record it and then break out the songs and post them and/or post the whole jam at CBN. What do you think?

  • Doug Thorsvik

    Thanks for the green light Richard! If you don’t have a PC, you must be using someone else’s or a tablet or a phone; Zoom is free app for all. It would be great if you could Zoom with us. I am going to touch base with a few CBN regulars that I hope will be willing to cohost the jam with me. If they are game and we can nail down a date and time, I will post it on the events page as a first step in getting the word out. This could be a great opportunity to connect in a new way. I currently Zoom with a weekly CBG builders group in Sacramento hosted by Will King here at CBN and I really enjoy interacting with the guys! Will keep you posted.
