- Marty, Thanks for the friend request. I like the look of your cbg's. Do you record any music? If you do send me a couple at jokercbg@yahoo.com and I may use them in my podcast at http://jokercbg.podbean.com/
I am working on a show on cbg music from countries other than the US. I noticed your from Finland so this would be right up your alley. I prefer tracks with vocals but I will consider anything you might send. Thanks and welcome to Cigar Box Nation----Joker

- 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

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
