This was my first busk of the year! I went to test out my wrist having had a steroid injection three weeks before for De Quervain's tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendons that run between the wrist and the thumb) I decided to limit myself to fifteen songs, but take my time so it wouldn’t feel like such a short busk.
I was a bit nervous after such a long break and very rusty. I ran through each song in my head before playing it, and also stopped to chat as long as people wanted, so it took me just over 2 hrs to get through the songs. It was great to be out there playing music in the sun again, but my wrist didn’t hold up well at all. Very frustrating!!
I was also testing out my Zoom Q2N outside for the first time. I think it’s much better out there with brighter light. I’m also pleased with the sound. I had the camera on a selfie stick which was clamped to the handle of my busking trolley, so that it was out in front of the amp. I like how much it got in with the wide angle.
The only problem was that the display screen is very small, so what with that and the bright light on it, and me not having any glasses with me, it was very difficult to see much. I could just about see the mike stand was in it, but afterwards realised I could have had it pointing lower so that it would have captured more of the people walking by. Next time I’ll take my glasses!
I’m playing a three string Cigar Box Guitar and a Canjo, made from a can of Tesco’s chopped tomatoes, both of which I made myself. The loop pedal is an Electroharmonix 22500.

Busking Practice & Zoom Q2N Test - With 3 String Cigar Box Guitar & Looping

Had a bit of a practice session yesterday as I'm pretty rusty having not busked yet this year!

Thought I'd record it as a test of how the #ZoomQ2N would cope with different types of song, just leaving the auto gain to cope with it. I'm pleased with how…

ZOOM Q2N TEST - w Fishman Loudbox Mini & 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

Zoom Q2n test, with Fishman Loudbox Mini amp, Electroharmonix 22500 Loop Pedal, Mooer Tender Octaver and home made 3 String Cigar Box Guitar.
The Zoom seemed to pick up the sound of the loop pedal buttons being pressed too well! It coped well with the varying volumes...

The song I'm playing is called "Forget Me Not" I wrote it after reading Wendy Mitchell's book "Somebody I Used To Know" which is a first hand account of being diagnosed with, and living with, young onset dementia.
The Forget Me Not symbol is the logo for the Alzheimer's Society, and is often used as an emblem by dementia communities.
