I love the sound of those guitars!!! Any wonder I've become addicted to building/playing them?! :D I know I have that free album from cigar box nation saved on my music player, can't seem to find the post on there, but I'll upload it to mediafire and share it with you. You tube is loaded with videos of people playing cbgs. Justin Johnson is one amazing player I bet you'd love. Shane Speal is considered the king of them, Samantha Fish (incredibly soulful!) the queen. This tune by Red dog Guitars I love! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5wMGovkuQ Nothing like the real raw blues played on handmade instruments. :D Check out the site in the description, 3 string dot com for some history and info, fascinating really. I made a 3 string cookie tin guitar for the elementary school I work at now, just need to string it and some minor tweaks to set it up. Hoping to deliver it to the music teacher this week. :p How about Billy Gibbons of ZZ top on one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHzeNW_nJVY Enjoy :D

p.s. If you do build one they're more addicting than crack!!

I see you already have the Zep comparisons PK...both vocals are well done...fit nice...Ocean has great vocal character for this kind of mix (and a lot of others too I guess)....This just kind of floats you along for a great ride...I like the guitars of course...Really superb job my friend...big well done to both of you..I`ll be hitting the fav button when it hits the last note....Ed

Oh yes the great Zeppelin :p I wasn't even thinking of them when recording this. I LOVE Ocean's voice!! The voice of an angel, just like Joan Baez. I know she's on a break pursuing other artistic excursions. I'm making a video for this, floating along like in a dream, great description. Thanks Ed :D You mean the last snore? hahaha Here's some more CBG Albums (not me) for you to enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDRQtBVMmI8 I'm looking for another that's a free download from Cigar box nation(dot)com. My username is the same on there but need to get more current pics up. I gave a way alot of the guitars I've made, kept my favs. I'm getting there, just cleaned up my page here now to get some albums together.

Amazing. I can tell you put a lot of thought into your music - a rare thing in a lot of artists today. Thanks for this.

Thanks Kingmadi, I do put a lot of thought into the music but when I record it's just raw playing, thinking of nothing else. Rare, Sad reality isn't it!

Exceptional collab I would say..! Lazy awesomeness of the track truly bewitched me this time. Aforementioned reminiscences of Led Zeppelin are
in place and the vocals are another highlight! Bravo !

Compliments to all involved_____Orlando

How's it going Orlando? :D Transferring my music software onto my new desktop after 4 computers failed this week!! It's ok. they've been ressuscitated many times over. This is one gem I never posted. I'd love to share it with Ocean but deleted my soundcloud account. I'm cleaning up my mess of a page here so there'll be alot more unreleased material to be up over the next month. I know I have another 'pella from her to work with too. Isn't it funny how subconciously our musical influence come through :p Grew up on all those classic bands like the great Zepppelin and many not so well known metal and blues artists.

I grew up on Zeppelin and classic bands like them, Thanks Weinerbob. Ocean has an amazing voice! I held off posting this since I was unsure if I wanted to add a bassline, decided the guitar held it's own without the bass. Video in the works.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.

Description : I made this with a very out of tune Yamaha Acoustic Guitar in a super unique tuning that I think pleases my minor harmonic ear very soothingly.

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

I did update the vocal mix based on feedback and I think that was a good call by gixxie. Vox is stronger now.
