I don't understand Oily. I watched a few of your vids. Real nice playing!

Nothing I've created is anything near the blues. More funk or R&B related. Don't have any vids yet.

Ain't nobody understands me
Whoa, nobody understands me
That's why I got the Incomprehensibility Blues.

The above outtake from Monty Python and The Holy Grail was in response to a post that has since been removed. I should probably remove it...Naahhh.

I'm in an indie/folk/pop band called Trickster Flint. Here I play 3 string slide cbg to an atmospheric track.
At the moment I'm working on an instrumental album with cigar box instruments (uke, bass, cello, violin, slide,...) and elcetronic/triphop styled backings.

The christmas album has a lot of unique styles on it. If you tune GDGD you can bluegrass the fire out of a CBG in the

banjo tuning. Check out turtlehead he plays a mean version of Abilene and sings it so good- also does Hotel California

and some bluegrass and other country. You can do a lot on a CBG!

There really is no difference. It's a guitar. One string, three, six or more it's a guitar. One of the most versatile musical instruments ever created. Your choice of strings and how it's tunes will help bring out what you want.

Yeah Kirk! Check out the vids on my page. Lots of old traditional songs and just a handfull of blues. I love blues but mostly I've been playing Appalachian Mtn. tunes on CB instruments. They work for anything even some folks playing classical music on them!
