The ladies at the Affinity Apts brought their boxes Tuesday and we turned them into cigar box guitars and played a few songs! Might have some new Slingers!

Thanks Kale! We did have fun, but I overestimated the abilities of the ladies, so I had to do more of the work than I planned. I will be revising the build to make it easier for participants to be able to do it themselves.
You’re welcome Uncle John! “Singin’ in the Rain” has been well received by beginners. You can see me do my five minute challenge with it here: Five-minute Challenge
Thanks again Uncle John! Two are already Slingers; working on getting their friends on board. Hoping to have some new faces at the library on Saturday!
My go to starter song is “Singin’ in the Rain”, a two chorded also.

Very nice. I like to see folks building CBGs and having fun.
Thanks again Glenn! Three of the ladies that are new joined us at the library today for the jam. New Slingers!!!

This looks like a rocking band, Doug. Good on you and them. I like to start new players off with the song, "Hush Little Baby". It's a two chorder.
