Inspiration....
I thought I'd throw a couple of names at you who have been a source of inspiration to me when attempting to choke a sound out of my 1 string diddly bow and 2 stringer.
Check out the late,great Hound Dog Taylor (Theodore Roosevelt Taylor) and his unique sound and Super Chikan (James Johnson) and his amazing home made guitars.If I'm preaching to the converted,my apologies....
