..I work with a friend in France we bake up songs that can be heard at channel user Francifornia at YT as well, if you have time to check that, a diff sound....I act as lyricist and singer, not player..which is fun. my puter bit the dust Saturday, I'm hoping I did not lose lyrics, my bro is trying to pump life back into it, and thereby rescue it a bit...are you in the high desert in WA? loved seeing the rolling brown hills as a kid.. lived in Salem Or for awhile, on my G'folks cherry farm..Bliss for a kid...!!.again--many thanks--kind words come along like yours and i remember my ditties bring a smile not just to me, and THAT is what I set out to do when I share em, more often than not..

I added a pot that rolls one of the pickup's coils to ground - kinda like a variable coil cut. I definitely want to get a volume pedal. By the way - do you mind if I use your domino bridge idea on some of my builds? Those things are sharp as a tack!!! See Ya 'round

At 2:33pm on October 12, 2010, Mike Bingham said…: Thanks for the kind words, Richard. These are the coolest comments I've ever had. I've always been a fan of the Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, Merle Travis sound and have been working on applying it to a three-string CBG. Your feedback has done got me fired up and motivated - thanks back at you! Stay in touch.

At 3:56am on October 7, 2010, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Ya, today with ebay, it is possible like never before to see so many vintage instruments for sale. I definitely have a romance going on with vintage guitars. It is very empowering to be able to play the exact instrument that was available to the original Blues masters of the 1920 /30s. Thank you for your friendship. Enjoy.

At 12:08am on October 7, 2010, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thanks for sharing Richard. Sounds like you found some great finds. One of my guitar teachers played Charango. Interesting instrument. I often see the Peruvian music groups playing them down on the subway platforms. Enjoy.

At 2:41am on October 3, 2010, Tim Fleischer said…: I just kind of threw that tune together...never been much of a song writer. I'm going back to do some fine tuning on it and I'll repost. Change some fx, levels, arrangements, etc. I really like that tune of yours...very original. And that last build is awesome. Take care!

At 2:26am on October 2, 2010, Mike Bingham said…: Thanks for the invitation Richard. YES! These things are a hoot! I plan on starting a couple more today. Stay in touch...
