Great singing and playing! Very soulful you have such a smooth voice! Is that cbg plugged in for this or just acoustic? It has a great twangy but still smooth sound to it!

Oh yeah! This sounds so fine!

I keep watching you play over and over. I think I can learn a bit. Thanks for showing clearly just how. Your fingerboard is even worn right where you pick this one.

Thank you all for your comments.

To Franck Scott : on this cbg there is a preamp as you can see in this vid : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrWljmvl7d4

For a better sound, the pickup is not Under the lid of the box, but Under the bone saddle of the bridge, exactly like a "standard" folk guitar you can buy in a music shop.

For this vid, i played with a Micro Cube Roland, on black panel with some reverb. Guitar preamp settings everything on middle.

Rhialto...that is some awesome playing and singing. I sure like the sound of your CBG. That is the sound I am going to try to achieve on my build. Can you share with me the make up your electronics? The larger box size I am sure helps a lot. Excellent.
