While I've made 2 lap diddley bows and 4 CBGs with 3 strings with my husband on the power tools and me on design, this is the first one I've made on my own and first one with a round neck. The pickup is a piezo disc pickup pre-wired to a jack from cbgitty.com.
Most of the music I played I learned from Justin Johnson tutorials. He has a great DVD on playing the diddley bow available on his site at rootsmusicschool.com. The long song I played was based on a tune by Elmore James.
I've been a hobby guitarist for 16 years, but I'm totally new to slide guitar. This is so fun! I love the simplicity, and there is something amazing about playing music on an instrument you made yourself. For really simple instructions on making CBGs I like the book Handmade Music Factory by Mike Orr. There are tons of other great books and online resources too. Check out Cigar Box Nation online to get started.
I had to turn off the Christmas tree lights while using the Mustang amp because they were causing some electromagnetic interference and creating an annoying hum on the amp.
