A while ago NightOwl put up a two part tutorial on how to play Amazing Grace and I learned it on a 3 string. This guitar is a 3 string with an additional bass string, one octave lower than the lowest of the three normal strings. You can easily adapt any three string piece to work with the extra bass string. If anyone wants to see the amp settings there is a picture in the first (oldest) of the comments.
I'm afraid that the video is a bit over exposed. The camera was set to manual and I shot quite a bit. This was taken from later in the recording and the light levels must have risen a bit.
Because there is a lot of interest in NightOwl's excellent tutorials here are the links:

Killer, John! Nice rendition! What a neat build, too! Sounds great -- my next was likely gonna be a mutli-stringer Sitar/harp thingamajig -- may have to do an aluminum neck -- Any warnings or build issues I should think about beforehand? -- Funny you use a Micro-Cube...I took my last build over to a buddy's place to show him, and he has one...works great to quickly dial through the settings to find one sympathetic to the idiosyncrasies of each CBG.

This sounds really good. First I've seen aluminum necks... I like them.

Hi Cameron.
Thank you for the kind words. Very much appreciated.
All the best.

Hi David.
Thank you for the nice comment. This guitar seems to have eclipsed the others and now I am re-evaluating what I will do with some of the other boxes that I have.
Thanks again.
John
