Hey, Just seen this mention. Hope all is well my friend. I've been hypnotized by the news and haven't left my couch in about a week. CoronaVirus comes to the US. Finally forced myself to get out of my funk and boot up a computer. I like this idea of a reintroduce yourself post. I'm going to try and put one together soon. Hope all is well with you and yours. Stay safe and healthy! Cheers from Buffalo NY.
We're all fine and tolerating the restrictions. I know it's worse elsewhere. Don't watch the news too much. Chill out with a movie or some music.
Glad to hear you're doing well. The restrictions are weird everywhere. Been chilling out more with less news and more movies and entertainment. Bought a cigar box slide guitar kit, and started playing again. I haven't been able to put this thing down.
You ever play one of these? They're a lot of fun!
I need one of those for my collection. Not that I am any good at slide.
Seriously, you'll probably get good at it really quick! It is so much fun. First time playing slide for me too. I bought a kit for $24 USD on Amazon. You pretty much just string it, doesn't sound that great in an amp, but acoustic sound is great IMO. I made a couple small modifications. I cut the bolt head at the bridge so my slide stopped hitting it and played around with different sized bolts for different actions. Ordering another kit soon for a fretted version. If you get one, let me know and I'll send you some links for tutorials, and tablature. I might start posting some videos on Hive if I can just get a little cleaner sound out of it. I'm a little sloppy but it's been at least 10 years since I touched a guitar, let alone play slide.
