Bishop 3-String

"You are correct about the movement up and down the fretboard. It can be ambitious at times! First position guitar players probably find that intimidating. I have always enjoyed  bar chord heavy songs on my 6-string, but they require strength…"

Bishop 3-String

"I definitely prefer playing 3-strings, but you sometimes have to do a bit more gymnastics up and down the fretboard compared to a 4-string."

Bishop 3-String

It's been a while, but I've been keeping busy. This is a new style I call the Bishop. 3 strings with a nice twangy sound. low action for easy playability. I'm going to make some more of these.
