Hi Mark I've been struggling to hack the Bo Diddley beat for months and could never get it to sound right. Thanks to your tip about palm muting I've finally cracked it. Cheers from the UK
Uncle Mark thanks for the excellent tips & performance. That fretless cigarbox guitar is killer! Is that a Rob instrument? That dark brown sticker thing at the rear, is that a palm rest. Your name on the fretboard is a cool 😎 factor bonus!
I have a VOX mini 3 G2. I almost feel my strings are too close to the fret. It never sounds like your's no matter what I do. I have tried brass, steel, ceramic and glass slides to no avail. Its very frustrating. Are there certain settings on the VOX for optimal sound performance? I also have Pevey or SP10 amp I could use. I have nothing too fancy. Any suggestions or help you provide would be appreciated.
@@cmmbsnyder55 I know nothing of the Vox..... I've never owned one, sorry. A lot of slide tone is accrued over years of playing. a lot of years. Keep working at it, one day it will all come together..... that's actually what happened to me. Cheers
Mark, one of the things I enjoy about your lessons is the history aspect you teach. Example: Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, etc.
Thanks
Just got me a one string fretless , trying this out now 😊
Thanks again Uncle Mark 🤗👍🇬🇧
Sounds great
Just bought my first fretless today. Let the good times roll. Thanks Uncle Mark for another great lesson. Definitely not as easy as it looks.
You can do it!
.just started playing 3string cbg, it was the catchy strumming patterns of the old blues songs that really got me aching too play.
woo hoo I just subscribed !!
Uncle Mark , do some more cowboy western soundtracks with the cactus.
Thanks, Mark. I like your philosophy mixed in.
Glad to hear it!

Great job teaching us Mark. We appreciate it!
Thank you
I can’t believe I just discovered you. Where have you been my whole life!
I've got a lot of playlists.... look there and welcome aboard!!!
Thanks for this one, dude! Especially like the help learning how to palm mute these things :)
Great advice on developing skill in the pattern. Muscle memory takes more than just a few iterations (or sessions).
Looking forward to more!
Thanks...

Uncle Mark thanks for the excellent tips & performance. That fretless cigarbox guitar is killer! Is that a Rob instrument? That dark brown sticker thing at the rear, is that a palm rest. Your name on the fretboard is a cool 😎 factor bonus!
Yes it’s a Rob’s, no palm rest. Cheers.

@@cmmbsnyder55 yes it is..... Rob is a master builder
I learn the rhythm as shave and a haircut two bits.
What kind of cigar Box strings do you use
Stringjoy in Nashville 42 34 24. I buy individual strings.
What is the length do you use from nut to bridge? Also how big is the Cigar Box?
I don't know....I just play them, I don't build. It's a Robs CBG from reverb.com
