Hi all, names Robert. Just joined up a bit ago, thought I should make an introduction. I live in North West Montana if anyone lives out this way or ever makes this way let me know, I'm excited to get to know people who love CBG's as much as I do. I started learning guitar in January but never really got into it, the chord shapes and stuff, too much expectation of what it should be, rights and wrongs. For me thats not what music is, no rights or wrongs. I'm no Jimmy Page, Hendrix isn't in my blood... It only took a few months before a buddy of mine, Mike, got me going on blues music. I've always loved the older blues recordings and he's an avid blues player, putting more time into his guitars and music than his own girlfriend, no joke ;) In one of our talks he mentioned a Cigar Box Guitar, I thought it sounded cool, always looking for the less well known and obscure things in life, found one pic of one in a book at the library, said I can make that, and went to Home Depot. That was late May. I've since built and sold 5 more to friends or people who have seen me caring one around. I rarely touch my 78' Eko Ranger IV 6 string, mostly plucking a few strings on it as I move it out of my way. I absolutely love these things and what they represent and was excited to find that there are whole forums dedicated to this stuff! I so look forward to getting to know all of ya on here, hope to eventually get to meet some of you personally. I'll try to check back in often but please forgive me if I take a while to respond, I don't get online too often and my computer has multiple personality disorder, often its evil and doesn't work.
