My first noodle about on my new resonator cigar box guitar. I say cigar box, its actually made out of a pallet. Beautiful guitar made by Chickenbone John.

Ralph,
You are absolutely correct "Great Sound"!!!!!
Also very fine playing!

Ralph,

Yeah, that's me, too. Figure out a structure, then embellish as the feeling strikes. That's why I'm diggin' CBGs: they're easier to emote through than a standard 6-banger, for some reason. You do it well; keep it up.

Very kind words, thanks. To be fair, I'm a make it up as you go person. When I've got a rough idea of where the notes are I just wing it, lol.

Bit more than a noodle, bucko! He can video and he can play! Ralph, you better find someone else to vid the next HB interview - they're gonna be interviewin' you next. Your playing has an Appalachian feel to it. Gorgeous tone from your pallet box, too. Gonna have to visit now, so I can get John to build me one of them.
