Hi there - thanks for your wonderful comment and thanks to you and your wife for making the effort to come down. It was a great gathering of players and audience and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Certainly there was a good buzz this morning over breakfast
Thankyou so much, a very kind comment indeed:-)beautiful builds, your guits, I like the double distressed look, and what appear to be two directional grain...simplicity, and natural woods, i think as pretty as anything. Again--thankyou for such a lovely comment--i had a veyr nice day drawing near to my mom:-)
Good evening Bri. I had a look at the members map and can't see anyone in your area, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any because for some reason not everyone shows up on the map. Probably the best place to ask would be "The Brits are coming" group because there are a lot of members in that group. Get them to join London and Nearby if you find any. The more we have the better the chance of getting car sharing sorted out.
cheers bri, the lightnin rod has been an integral part of the act for many many...days now:0)

I went ahead and ordered Keni's CD #4, it looked to have more of the info that I want then CD#1, I can always go back and get #1.
I did order my CBG with frets, thought it might make things a little bit easier to start with! I do agree though that fretless guitars probably train your ear faster.
I went to Sam Ash Music and tried several slides, they all felt too large. So I ordered a mix of 5 assorted slides on Ebay for about 13 bucks. Hopefully I will bond with one of them!
liking yr builds there fella. notice you've gone for the fret markers with transverse slots, i like the inline ones meself, lets the chi of the mojo flow up the neck without hinderance:0)
Thank you Bletherawk for your purchase and taking the time to comment. Always nice to hear that players like yourself are finding the instructional video CD lessons helpful. Keep bustin' those strings! Enjoy.
