Seems to sound a bit like the Mission Impossible theme tune in places??!

Wow. All that from a Diddley bow, it's brilliant! I especially like the bit at the end when you sound surprised that it turned out as good as it did!

Lovely piece and a super sound. Good job on the instrument too.

Hmm, I've got the same loop pedal as you, now gonna hafta look at that effects pedal. Very cool

 

Well, I told you on your last video you did I'd get one made.............however for my birthday yesterday..........low and behold, my 2 daughters got into the wood shop and both of them actually built one in 2 hours (with some help of course)

Ashley has some builds under her belt now and knew exactly what to do. She coached her big sister along as the bigger sister has no woodshop experience. They watched your last video so Chrissy knew what a diddley bow was and got er done.

I just added a piezo pickup as a final addition

Now, I have a signed diddley bow from both of my daughters for my 41st birthday....

Ashley wants to post up a video once she nails down a tune for it. Wonder if I'm gonna hafta pry it out of her hands?
