Thank you Glenn for the excellent tutorial. Great tune to get my grandson started with. Hope to have his CBG completed by Christmas.

Thank you for the kind words, Frank. And good on you for getting your grandson involved in music with an instrument you've built with your own hands. There ain't nothin' better than that.
