I finally got to sit down and really check out some videos on CBN today. My Internet connection is still so slow and balky it's hard to keep up with anything with it. Anyway, I just started on the front page of current vids and worked through them. Going to dig a little deeper today while I'm off and try to catch up, but I'm getting side tracked already.
Habenera Hal has a post in the Forums section titled, "The Talent on Here" where he notes there are some very talented musicians…

Today my wife and I have been married 15 years. Pretty remarkable since I don't play hard to get. I play hard to have.
Anyway, I got me Hollowbelly T-Shirt on today, played me guitar with the Klangbox pickup for a good half hour this morning, had a curry for lunch and getting ready for a long weekend with my wife sans kids (first time).
I really like this Tshirt. Nobody around here knows WTF it means. Surprised it isn't all worn out yet.…

i see people dumping good money into these folkart builds , fact of the matter is if yer spending 3-4-5 hundred dollars into a box guitar , ya have more money than common sense .ive been bouncing around between the nation and handemade clubhouse since 2009 , there are some awesome builds coming out of both places , fact of the matter is , some seem to be forgetting the fact that a box guitar is exactly what it is , and to think that your buying a Martin or Taylor ,Gibson quality , your…

I am always blown away and inspired by the players that come through my stall at The Bluesfest.
From seasoned players to absolute beginners.
Always a thrill to get someone who has never played a cbg (or guitar) before up and running.
Here is some footage. All shot on my phone. Next time i'll do it all sideways.
Fun Fun Fun!
It's a long video so maybe grab a beer or a cup of Tea
or a cbg and jam along!

Leadfoot T & CBG its no 1 on the Reverbnation charts! Thanks to anyone on the Nation who has checked the Reverbnation page out & listened to me and Fingers! I think its phenomenal that us CBG'ers can take our instruments and hit the top spot in mainstream charts.
Please keep us there and spread the gospel according to CBG. Click on and listen to a track or watch a video!…

Got the kick drum and hi-hat all ready...…

Hi,
You can check out my new album on a 2 part podcast at http://leadfoott.podbean.com/ The podcast gives you a run down on how I came up with each track on the album and the meaning behind the songs. All tracks are written by me and I play the cigar box guitars, harp, percussion and gravel mouthed vocals on every track whilst Fast Fingers Kevin Dore provides phenomenal thumping bass lines! It's where rock and blues collide in a…

Considerations for Selecting a Resonator Guitar
Material
The body of a resonator guitar functions like the cabinet used to house an audio speaker. Cabinets are usually heavy and their construction is very sturdy. This forces the sound out of the speaker cone, instead of losing signal due to vibration and the sound energy being absorbed by the cabinet…

Fast Fingers and I will be hooking up Saturday to produce our first album together. I'll be laying down the beat on the Samsonite Foot Drum, cigar box guitar and gravel mouthed vox whilst Fingers adds his supersonic pulsing bass lines. Its gonna be 100 mph rocket fuelled, foot stompin, cigar box rock blues with a twist of harp!
As the project progresses I'll post updates.
All the best,
Lead
