Wine box Guitar blues
This is a short demo on an experimental lap steel guitar I made from old wine boxes. Sadly I didn't think to film the construction until after I had completed it.
The tune is based on Ry Cooder's brilliant "Feelin' bad Blues" but played at a quicker tempo.

This is my cover of Tom Paxton's lovely song. The instrument is an eight string long necked mandolin. (It was going to be a lute but I ran out of wood)

This is my weissenborn version of Don William's song. I fell in love with the tune after hearing Alison Krauss and John Waite's version.

My version of the old song, 16 Tons, played on the Weissenborn style guitar I built last year.
sweet build Fantastic sound well played
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you liked it.
Congratulations on the project, it was incredible. How big is the scale and what tuning did you use?
Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it. It's 25.5 inch scale length and tuned to open D.
...maybe ''welcome to my world'' is intro?
Hi Sebastiano. Yes that's right. It was played on the Weissenborn.
Thing is John, it’s brilliant, you play superbly well and it sounds great. But nobody likes a smart arse! 🤣
Thanks M4 . I'll bear that in mind....
That's a really good job there John. Excellent sound and playing. I used a 4x2 for my lap,but the wine box seeems to give a mellow tone. What is the tuning?
Thanks. I expect yours has a better tone. Without the amp this one sounds dead. The tuning is open D. (I usually play a Weisenborn)
Thanks Nick, I certainly will.
John, that's a fantastic guitar - incredible sound, and superbly played. Better make another - and film it!
Wonderful, well done xxx
Wow!!!!!!!!
It just happens to be raining here in Lagos, that was beautiful. Thank you gents.
Lovely performance and top video! Clive
This is so lovely!
Thanks Felicity
Great song by fabulous musicians - Congratulations chaps!
Thanks Allan. Most songs take ages to perfect but this one fell into place in 10 minutes. It would be nice to find another one to work on. Any suggestions?
This is amazing!
Truly a beautiful rendition of this love song.
Thanks Karen. I appreciate that. I sang this song for my wife. It's the sort of song I wish I had written ....but of course I'm notTom Paxton
