David Bowie/Nirvana - Man Who Sold the World - acoustic cigar box guitar

three strings, no frets, played with a slide. i usually play the ones i build myself but this one was given to me by a cigar box hero of mine, Shane Speal. it still has the same strings on it as when he gave it to me at Xmas of 2009 and it still sounds great!

have a great day and thanks for watching!!
(and to my subscribers, thanks for hanging in there, sorry for my long delay between videos!!!)

Always good to see the Crow-Magnon man.   About your sweetest vocals ever.   I am with you on liking to play my own builds.  But that Shane is a classic.  I got to hold and strum one at the KC fest.
