Messing around with my Cigar Box Guitar

Just a little video of my trying to play my CBG, I was a bit nervous as it was the first time I'd recorded myself but it's not too bad. I think its the next step to becoming a better player and will act as a kind of journal in years to come when I get better and look back where I've come from. Thanks for watching :-)

You now have one more vid than I do, I haven't gotten the nerve (or knowhow) to do my first "live" preformance. You did a really nice job and if you were nervous you can't tell. Sounded good man!

Like that git and tone.   I like your style too.  You may not have felt relaxed, but you sounded so.
