smojo on my page,my pictures,the blue diamond is picture no. 35. it plays like a dream for slide.not quite finished with it yet,but it is at a playable stage.
my blue diamond is my eighth cigarbox guitar,008 if you go to my page look for the picture of the only cigarbox guitar with f-holes it has black leather corners that will be on it and a blue abalone diamond inlay under the bridge. every new guitar i get or build has a song already in it and when i first get to know it[the guitar] the song comes out and the guitar teaches me that song that is trapped inside it. i guess you could say that is the power of the mojo that i posess is to be able to find a song trapped inside most guitars.i have always been able to do that and it baffles some people when i do it. check out the blue diamond, its the first cigarbox guitar that has taught me a song.
just wanted you to know i checked out that youtube video you did[ delta blues improv ]again today on christmas day and did you know that over 33,680 people have watched that video, man you be famous all over da world. a lot of others on there have only 3 or 4 thousand people that watched them but you you have over thirty three thousand people that watched your delta blues improv. man i like that slide work. i got me a real good slide tune picked out that my blue diamond guitar showed me and i am gonna put it on a youtube as soon as i can figure out how to do it. that song i made up has the same basic theory of your blues improv but it has a western cowboy movie with horses in it kind of theme. it is really cool thank you brother. when i get it on my page,[the video of me playing the slide song my blue diamond taught me] you will be the first person i tell about it. thanks again my friend.
a lot of the brits are on my page as friends, as far as i,m concerned,smojo, all the brits are graciously welcome to the cigarbox guitar nation,because its inhabitant,s are all of one spirit, [musical creativity] thanks bro for the british influence in the club.
hey man how are you? i might can build some cool looking stuff but your the one with the magic touch. i want to be able to play the way you do, and some day not real long from now i will release the mojo and play real good like you and some other folks in the nation here,cause i play by ear and i learn by ear. great to have good quality people like the people in the UK here as friends. i have several friends from the UK. thanks for keeping the magic alive in your playing david.
Thank you David, i got that a lot since i posted it, the design does help the ackoestic vollume a whole lot. It looks cool too, too bad its gone at newyears eve :-( need to build me a new one in this style sometime soon!
