A little piece I made up to showcase my "Diddley-beau" build completed last year, and featuring Elmar's new "Diddley bug" Flatpup one, an amazing little beast I hope Elmar will continue to produce! One string guitars are a lot of fun to play and though this is not strictly a proper board-and-bottle Diddley-bow it suits me fine, though the neck could do with a little more stiffening, it has to be handled carefully...oh well, next time!

Guitar : Diddley-beau
Drum :The Cannon/Jingle ring
Marshall AS50D, Boss DS-1

PLAY LOUD!

To be included on mini-album "Slowpaw Brew".

The one stringers always amaze me when someone plays them well, and this is great...enjoyed it a lot.
