Uncle John's Diddley Bow is currently in Southern California

I just received this little gem from turtlehead, who got it from Uncle John, who built it. I feel honored to be part of this chain, so thank both of you guys. I will eventually send this along to someone else here on CBN, once I've made a video.

I'll try all those, thanks. I'll re-watch your videos Unc, I remember you demonstrating that technique. Thanks Bluesheart and Jerry. That Pignose is my harp amp. The Crown Royal bag next to it has my "Bottle o' Blues" mic in it. I'll make a demo video of that too, it sounds pretty awesome.

I agree with Uncle John, I love using a chopstick to play a diddley, though a carpenter pencil may be more appropriate for this one!

It's in good hands, Rick.  Makes me proud.   Keep it a while.   I think you maybe should try lap style with a pencil, drumstick, etc.  to use instead of a pick.   Best wishes.   

Nice Pignose!

I know what you mean, I will build one when I have to say goodbye to this one. I'm trying to figure out how to play it at the moment.

Awesome.  I just came out of the basement working on a diddley of my own because I know now that I need one thanks to UJ.
