You have a good rhythm going there. That is a very creditable video and as a first one it is excellent. Doing both rhythm and playing at once isn't easy. I have trouble playing and breathing at the same time. Hopefully this is the first of many.

Roosterman, HOLLOWBELLY, thanks guys, nothing like diving in at the deep end. Until two years ago when I started playing the Djembe I'd never played an instrument before. I started having banjo lessons back in the summer and then happened upon this guitar box nation movement and I'm loving it!!!

 

I'm touched by your encouragement and whatever I post you've always got the 'mute' option!

 

Here's to keeping it real.

 

HOLLOWBELLY your music has touched my core...

 

Roosterman, thanks for the 'bow' and yes the percussion was a £5.00 tambourine I bought yesterday. I just put it over my foot and stomp along...

Nice rhythmic feel ya got there.Keep keepin on.

Comment by Roosterman on December 30, 2011 at 10:37am

Cool man - I love that percussion you got going on. Tambourine, or...?

I predict great things :o)
