"Lap Style Slide" (LP Version) on a CBG

An experiment in trying to play a 3 string CBG lap style after watching James's recent video, it's a bit long though guys hence the LP tag :-)

*blush* thank you UJ, it's comments like that which you cherish and remember for a long time after, it's all fuel to the fire of creativity and make you wanna explore further into this wonderful sounding instrument we call a CBG :-)))

That is beautiful.  Cool that James inspired you, but it comes out all your own. 

Seems to me we are all kin, but what comes out of us musically is so varied.   I love to listen to this, but I sit down to emulate and it just does not happen.   I am mostly lyrics and story centered, but I could listen to you at length.

Thank you Greg, DAD :-)

Very, very, very nice I love the tone. What tuning are you using?
Comment by Beamer Boy on October 7, 2012 at 3:15am
Thanks James for your gracious comments, watching your video gave me a few ideas which I implemented in my video like the staccato string bouncing with the slide which makes a very pleasing effect. if I hadn't watched your video I wouldn't have tried that which is what I love about this site so many different styles and effects to give you ideas and inspiration. Should get my wah pedal this week too which is all thanks to you too :-)

I see you can play lap style also, very nicely, i couldn't begin to play conventional style, very nice sound you are getting, like the way you use the slide on individual strings, something i need to work on my self, great music Beamer Boy !!!
