Taffy Evans testing an early cigar box guitar

Blues on a cigar box guitar. First electric CBG. Humbucking pickup and a salvaged neck. No acoustic properties in this one. One time recording, warts and all.

Really nice. Bell like ringing tone. Fine playing and singing.

"Well Done Cobber' some mighty fine sliding and vocals going on there!  :-)

I listened again Taffy. You inspire and teach by your playing. Thanks.

Glad you published on YouTube Taffy! The angle is perfect for learning your real nice slide techniques. That’s a great tone, sounds really good!

I loved the slide, but I have OLD adult attention Deficit Syndrome.  I quit the first time before the vocals.  Now I came back and heard them.  Good and on a song that I like a lot.  I don't know much, but I know that Trouble In Mind is classified as 8 bar blues. 

Taffy, get your self up to Cali Fest and let me play a harp verse with you doing this one on the open mic stage.  Bring Ry if you want and we might let him do some mandolin.

Thanks for the comments guys. 

Dave, took me a while but quicker than I thought to use Youtube.

Paul, the humbucker is by Rockfield 

Uncle John, yea me and Ry Cooder go back a long way.......all the way back to vynal records Ha ha.

Glad I waited a bit, and then you start singing. Well worth the wait. Please do more, if you have warts, you know that they sale stuff to put on them, lol, just kidding. We all want more of this.

Comment by Uncle John on January 25, 2019 at 4:01am

You hooked me on that first soulful slide.  Wonderful stuff, full of feelings.   No warts tends to be no soul.  Not many warts, but a lot of soul.   Got some Ry Cooder in there too.

Hey Taffy! I could see you this time. And i’m Glad I could. You can play very well. Wonderful tone on your 6 electric. Trouble in mind can also work for You Got to Move. I love it! Thanks Taffy.
