#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

bemuzic goes busking, armed with a 3 string Cigar Box Guitar, Diddley Bow, Canjo and Loop pedal : -)

Went busking for the first time last week. Got no film or photos as I was on my own.
This time my husband came along as roady/cameraman/minder!!
I'm really enjoying the whole busking thing. You get to do two of my favourite things at the same time - people watching and playing music : -)
On reflection when the bagpipe player started up just along the street I should have given in gracefully and moved somewhere else!!
I was wanting to sing "Sheep Shit Blues" - see this vid if you have somehow missed Sheep Shit Blues!!

but thought the people of Cambridge might not be able to relate to it?!...SO I wrote a couple of songs with the same format "Cambridge Blues" and "Busker Blues" You can hear bits of them in the vid : -)
I took along some copies of my EP, as a few people asked last time if I had a CD, and I sold one! Download of the EP available here!!

Thanks to those of you who gave me advice and encouragement when I said I was thinking of doing this (even though some of it nearly put me off going,lol!)
