Just a small correction...at least the version of Happy Birthday I've always sung is...
0 0 2 0 5 4 - 0 0 2 0 7 5 - 0 0 12 9 5 4 2 - 10 10 9 5 7 5
Sounds a bit less "slasher movie" this way.

LOL. Actually you are spreading the truth. In the majority of Bottleneck arrangements, the slide work is on the first string. Learning to hear better by matching the tones you sing with the notes found on the fingerboard is a great way to learn to play. The challange certainly comes in when you add more strings. Doublestops and tritone chords add harmony on the treble strings. Alternating the bass adds the second line of music. It certainly is like juggling in some ways. LOL I built a diddley bow for a friend's daughter too for a school project. Single string instruments can be a lot of fun because it becomes a game trying to find the notes. Enjoy.

Wouldn`t be too sure if Kenny playing round at a kids birthday party would not frighten the children away...
Such a creepy voice has he.
