Tom Rushen- on cigar box resonator
« on: October 13, 2013, 05:48:22 AM »
Did a video rather than sound file, so the bizarre contraption I'm playing can be seen.

Its a song which seems (for me) to settle into a much quicker groove than Patton's original.  May have to try to forcibly slow it down and see how it sounds.

Not the finished article vocally (in particular) but I had an empty house for an hour, and the 'guitar' has been waiting very patiently for its weenie debut.

Simon,

Also meant to say, that looks the perfect instrument for Boll Weevil Blues.

Very nice version. Some fancy right hand work in there. I can't really see the guitar too well in the video though. could you post a pic of it perhaps?

Thanks. Pic is attached. Its made with a cone spun by a guy in the states known as 'old lowe' who seems to be well known in cigar box making circles :-)
