That I can learn to make music on CBGs despite having carpal tunnel in both hands, and grateful that I have found an instrument that doesn't require the ability to learn to read musical notation. The community is supportive, the Manifesto inspiring, and this is the happiest Internet community I've seen.Started with a CB Gitty cigar box diddley bow, got Bluesboy Jag to build me a "dulcitar", and I'm working on a dutar with drone (3 string) Central Asian style instrument.Learning to palm and plectrum mute and understanding how long to sustain a note is a lot of fun, if somewhat frustrating.
