Thanks, Muddy John. 

Thanks Patrick.  It does kind of sound like a fiddle if I keep the slide in motion. 

Thanks, Norbert.  That right thumb gets a work out.  ;)

Thanks, Andries.  Greets!

Sweet!

Thanks, James O.  Thanks, Digly.  I like it too.

Thanks, Wes.  I agree with that for most blues. 

Thanks, Dave.  It is hard for me to play the notes and sing in unison.

Sounds like the intonation ain’t quite right. Your voice is right on but the didly sounds a little off. Might be at the nut. It’s hard to sing the melody and play it in unison.

Great work with one string, Uncle John.  I like the uncompromising black 'colour' scheme on the GCB as well.

Sweet sounding Diddley Bow

Comment by Uncle John on April 8, 2018 at 2:26pm

Thanks, Richard.  No true frets, just markers at the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 12th - where I need them most.   This poor diddley is pretty nice but does not get the attention she deserves.  She whispers, "Play me or send me to live with nice people.'

Thanks, Alan.  Blues men wear fuzzy slippers. 

Thanks, Steve.  I need more practice doing the sliding notes and singing at the same time.
