[Cigar Box Guitar] - AGP #131 ''Rocky Mahog'' 07 October 2017 "Paris Texas"

AGP #131 “Rocky Mahog” - (3 String Baritone CBG) - Scale: 736.6mm / 29 inches - Strings: .0.46NW / .036NW / .026NW - Tuning: DAd

Built this 24 Fret Baritone beast 3 years ago originally for the purpose of playing Nigel McTrustry's great!, and easy!, to follow online lesson of his version of "Paris Texas", Thank You Nigel for posting this one, and, all your other great lessons, probably sounds nothing like Nigel’s or Ry Cooders version, so apologies to both, but it is what is: the “Ham Fisted Bricklayers” version of this great tune, it’s played through a modified version of the ’57 Fender Deluxe setting on my 40 Watt Fender Mustang II Amp.

Comment by AGP # on October 8, 2017 at 10:38am: "Thanks Erasmo", "Ambient Long Neck Guitar" I like that :-)

Comment by AGP # on October 8, 2017 at 10:35am: "Thanks UJ", played mainly down below the 12th fret, but was originally in 2 minds as to play it there,or further up the neck around the 3rd fret or not, which in my mind probably sounds better anyway, I also play it in this area on many of my shorter scale builds in various tunings, which also sound just fine, the room is a bit too crowded with content at the moment, a situation I'm addressing at the moment :-)

Comment by AGP # on October 8, 2017 at 10:15am: "Thanks Derek" :-)

Comment by AGP # on October 8, 2017 at 10:14am: "Thanks James O", I have a few Baritone builds, this one is my favourite, and I do plan on playing more & slowing down a bit on the building side :-)

Comment by AGP # on October 8, 2017 at 10:05am: "Thanks Pick", the only Paris I can find in Australia, is "Paris Creek - South Australia", a mere 2200km and a 24 hour drive away from where I live :-D

Comment by Uncle John on October 7, 2017 at 2:56pm: Longnecker! Man that has some nice sound. Way to go, AGP, getting a lot of human voice characteristics out with that slide work. Man, really good slide work. Pretty cool room and content too!
