Time to break out the Breton. Biscuit Tin. Maple through-neck. Crappy bridge I ripped off a cheap toy guitar (I made a bridge but lost it. Like my tooth...) It has a pickup but I usually play unplugged as here, the volume's fine.

Sorry about the ropy singing, chuggy pace ( I normally play this faster but with even more mistakes), alarming visage, rakish camera angle (ipad propped against a plant pot) and shower room setting. In fact, sorry about everything. You have been warned.

Thanks all for the encouragement, I am just starting to get the hang of this tin and singing is something I haven't done before outside the shower.  Oh hang on, I was still in the shower...

Vinylhed - I'm sure it was your Ashokan Farewell I was inspired by a few months back?  That was lovely stuff.   I've got tins queuing up too, it's the neck I find it difficult to get hold of.

Maddog - out on my porch such as it is I'd be in big competition with the jumbos landing at Heathrow but if I get a quiet spell I'll be sure to get my bad boy out!  Let's hope the neighbours aren't watching...

Nice arrangement, sounding great on the tin. To tell you the truth, my favourite guitar I've made is a tin one. I've got a couple of nice tins waiting for my attention.

Hey, that has nice bluesy tone and you sound good.  Big volume.  Man you sing good, sing out (get louder) a bit more.  Like this.  Hope to see more of you.
