A short film by Ralph Cardall, recorded at one of my cigar box guitar players’ workshops, with footage of me playing guitar and talking about my approach to teaching. Thanks to everyone who came along to support the event, especially Ralph who gave up his weekend to do the filming and editing, and to St. Gregory’s Church, Bearwood for the use of the hall. To learn more about my workshops (for both playing and building cigar box guitars), visit www.chickenbonejohn.com – if there isn’t one scheduled in your area…I can help make it happen for you…just get in touch.
Just wonderin’ if anyone here will be attending?? My wife & I were in Clarksdale last summer & spoke with Roger at CatHead music and he gave us the lowdown on the event. Sure would like to attend…..maybe next year! http://www.jukejointfestival.com/about.php
Not only do cigar box guitars have a great history, these little guys deliver that authentic primitive blues sound...not to mention they're a heck of alot of fun to play!
