thanks, it was a crudely built 4 string guitar with a piezo pickup...and tape holding the box together!

I guess it just goes to show you that you can use  a cigar box guitar's faults and weakness to record real cool vintage sounding music

Fine playing sounds Great 3 String Blues

This had some great mood to it. I loved the spaces between all the notes. It creates just the right amount of tension/release.

Sheep, desolation and somehow, relaxing peace.
