Upwelling Ice - Burtsbluesboxes

Cigar box guitars :D Such a simple but amazing sounding instrument! Yes, I layered a second guitar part, played on the same one though. http://imgur.com/gallery/QZBjOoT I still have these ones. The black one in the center is the one I played on here and Ghost of a guitar, my fav. Been making them for a year now, giving them away as gifts. I have more tunes on various other ones but cleaning up my page I took them down, hear some more of them here though https://www.reverbnation.com/1096781/album/117064 Once I used a violin bow on my 2 string cookie tin, who ever knew a cookie tin could make sounds like that!! Thanks CitizenMofo, more homemade guitars and music played on them in the works.

.....

Yes a very fitting description :p Seems anything I play on that electric 3 string falls into that category ;) My page is an absolute mess!! Any surprise as I'm a cleaner for a living hahahaha. I'm going to delete everything and reupload making it nice and tidy again. I've made and given away a few cds of cigar box guitar music. My co worker played one at work and the guys kept looking at me, this is you? really?? I'm going to set up a band camp account and put up an album for free download as well as on Reverbnation once I figure out how. Joe Cramer put together this one of collabs we've done, not all is cbgs but should hold you over. https://www.reverbnation.com/1096781/album/117064 Always a pleasure Ed, stay tuned for more, new one up today.

Good interpretation Danke. I was thinking a frozen wasteland but same idea :D

I get alot of fx from freesound or record stuff myself. I love the depth it can add to songs. Guitar is my homemade 3 string electric cigar box guitar, yep made from a cigar box ;) Thanks Fl4zh

:D Thanks

Thanks Steve, your favorite guitar again hahaha It is one warm January! I don't remember it being this warm in a long time, was wondering if you guys were as warm being a bit further north. Have the zombies made it up there yet? I heard about some kids falling through the ice where I used to live, they're fine, but that river froze every year and people would use it as a shortcut to get intown, not this year!

I definitely want to record more like this. I'll send you the stems for this to play with, I was thinking vocals be cool addition. In the next few days I'll try and get more recordings done as well. My newest one I need to change the bridge to a thinner bolt to lower the action, works great for slide but I get sharp notes when fretting them. Watch for some stems :p

Those damn cbgs are more addicting than crack!!! Thanks Virginia, plenty more to come :D

Going very well Jamid thanks :D Now if I can just find more music time!! Enthralling is a perfect description. cbgs seem to have that effect on people, especially when played slow like telling a tale. I love this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5wMGovkuQ

:D There's loops on my page made with different homemade guitars, you may like. Use and abuse them as you wish.

Been so busy lately I haven't done much music. I had Martin Luther King day off and came across Dan's art composition which I usually participate in. Winter is the theme this time so I had to blow the dust of my cbg and play a little something :p I love the way those guitars can tell a tale all on their own! Thanks TA I trying to do one for a pic from the dust bowl era, not for any competition, just for fun. Pictures have a way of inspiring audio tales.
