  1. How in the world do you create that tone. It’s haunting. True blues.

  2. Sounds like dropped D A D. Nice bluesey sound with the juiced up nylon strings.Cool usage of the abandoned farm house vid. Stay Blue:D

  3. I’ve got a Fender Mustang Mini connected to a 3 String CBG made out of a Rocky Patel CB. I’ve tried everything in the world to try and get that tone. I’m calling BullCrap on this … I think you and Robert Johnson both were at that Crossroads because I can’t for the life of me duplicate that tone. I’ve not even got close and I have a limitless amount of FX, and Amp Models at my fingertips … Keep on doing what you do. I love your CBGs and Music!!! Much Respect.

  4. i love the beginning… reminded me of rambo getting ready!

  5. OOHHH!!!!! YEEEAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! SOUNDS GOOD WHEN IM CHILLIN!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. try a bit of hall reverb and a small amont of delay…and a cigar box guitar…thats it!

  7. DUDE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT FX YOU ARE USING,THAT SOUDS AUSOME

  8. juste magnifique !
    la note à 1:42 m’en donne des frissons à tel point qu’elle est magnifique!

  9. Use flat toothpicks. They glue down tight and work really well. Nylon strings only, though.

  10. So you would use the A string the D string G string of the guitar and just tune the G string up to an A ya?
