My name is Sean and I'm a newbie here at Cigar Box Nation. I recently was turned on to CBGs and related instruments after seeing some videos of blues musicians busking with them in the UK. I've played guitar and other instruments for about 10 years now and began playing more roots/blues/americana music for the past 2 or 3 years. I began learning electric and bottleneck slide and then became enthralled with the CBG sound soon after. I'm very interested in that older, more primal roots music sound that I feel isn't found in the more mainstream blues-based music of recent decades. I fell head-first in love with the sound of CBGs and went and ordered a CBG from Bluesboy Jag and also a Hill Harp from Johnny Lowebow - had some extra cash and figured I might as well jump right in! My next goal is to build a CBG for myself once I've begun to get a handle on playing these instruments. I'm looking forward to getting cozy here at the CBN!
