Agree with you Uncle and Dani on all counts! Lots of character in the sound, and in your playing.

I  understand completely on the moving feet that can not consistently keep the beat for extended periods. .  Same with me.  Odd that I can play harmonica and guitar at the same time, but can not tap my feet in time for enough of a song to make it useful with a stompbox.

I made this one quite a while back, I was amazed at the electrics working. I had never done that before. The leg thumping is so normal for me, I get complaints from the goggle box watchers downstairs all the time, it costs me a small fortune in blown light bulbs too..... I am convinced my left leg is attached to my strumming wrist somehow...... but working on a different time signature...!!!

These CBG and related builds so often hold a surprise.  A good one here, that git has a really nice, just right metallic resonator sound to it.

A solid start on the new journey with CBGs, Reg. Awesome foot stomping going on too. Your years of playing guitar shines through too. A strong rhythm can really carry a song and there ain't nothing wrong with your rhythm my friend! Keep at it and I'll be looking forward to seeing your future builds too! Thanks for sharing this with us.

For a plain looking guitar that's plain cool ;) Smart
