#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

My first album "Playing (No Rules)" is OUT NOW!!!

Album available here http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I kept things very simple and stripped back on this, so the songs would sound like they do when I play them busking (minus the noise of lorries reversing, large groups of chattering tourists, bagpipe players, builders drilling and banging, town criers shouting etc, etc!!)
I know I hate it if I hear someone live, then buy a CD and it doesn't have the same feel at all, as it has loads of tracks and effects.
I used a Red Dog Cigar Box Guitar on the first track, and a Cigar Box Guitar strummer by tinyguitars on track five.
On the other ten songs I used instruments I've made myself : -)

Comment by shane jacques on November 16, 2011 at 11:39pm: Sounds very good.

Comment by bemuzic on November 16, 2011 at 10:53pm: thanks John and Ed. Ed I hadn't heard of Sandy Denny, so did a search on YouTube...I'm very flattered!!

Comment by eK on November 16, 2011 at 10:15pm: The last time I smiled this much was listening to Sandy Denny performing solo and accompanying herself on guitar. That puts you in *very* good company.

Very much looking forward to your release. :-)

Comment by Uncle John on November 16, 2011 at 3:03pm: Thanks for the sampling. It truly sounds wonderful.

Comment by bemuzic on November 16, 2011 at 12:56pm: thanks Bob

Comment by bemuzic on November 16, 2011 at 12:51pm: thanks Sammy. Well I have an Alesis Multimix 8 USB mixer which I was using, but had a problem with latency which nearly drove me CRAZY trying to solve....so I bought a Tascam DP004.

On this album I used the Tascam to record the CBG's as for some reason I was getting some buzzing when going into the Alesis mixer. The vocals however sounded better done into the Alesis mixer for some reason. I then mixed them in Sony Acid Pro 7. This was tricky as my computer struggles to cope with more than a few tracks!!

Comment by Ice Bob on November 16, 2011 at 12:50pm: sounds great

Comment by Sammy Lloyd on November 16, 2011 at 12:37pm: What a fabulous sample of your range Belinda. Well done again, you are an inspiration. What do you use to record your tunes? Sounds fabulous.
