At 3:38pm on August 23, 2009, joni bishop said…: Hi Keni, I'll be glad to post something when I get a chance. I've been pretty busy with other stuff, so I haven't even had a chance to get a video together to put up on my own YouTube page...But I'll be happy to contribute, just be patient, it may take a little while....sounds like a there's a real need & desire for something like this...Peace, Joni

At 2:56pm on August 23, 2009, spencer said…: I am probably just going to spectate at this point...hit up all your 3 string instructionals. I have quite a few building classes I hope will be taking place in the next several months, and they will probably all end with some playing time.

At 10:32am on August 23, 2009, william E. Drumm said…: Thanks Keni Lee. This group to me at least, is one of the most important. I love to build, we all do I suppose, I've built 5, working on 6 and 7...just can't stop...but can't play a lick. This is one of my main goals. I've watched several of your videos and I'm amazed at your command of the blues, what a touch. I guess to get started I have to tune one of my "babies"..I know there is lots of info on what to tune your CBG ..DAd, G, something G..open G etc..MY strings I've used so far are the ones suggested by Shane in his "How to make..., gaged strings , 45, 35 and 28...now I have this old Seiko "Tune Master" guitar tuner..in need of a 9 volt battery, however I guess my question is....finally...can I use this thing to tune my CBG's ?..thanks again for the group

At 9:55am on August 23, 2009, Snuffy said…: Great idea Keni Lee! I am a newbie and would benefit greatly from some type of instruction. Thanks!
