  • 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.

    I thank you for your videos. I was told to study music once upon a time and lost the passion for it. You and others have reminded me of what I lost and the need to get it back.I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Recently built, slotted, fretted my own cgb. Videos like yours do impact people and I thank you again. Would like to open a line of communication with you. Those this instrument got it's recognition in the states, I think you have a knowledge of the subject :) Thank you :)

    I agree it is more fun to play with a lot of folks. You learn from each other.

    I made-up 6 of the kit guitars, and on one of them used the poster from Upton Blues Festival....with the NoTone logo on the headstock.

    At the last 'make and play' workshop there were a lot more women, and a younger group generally overall too.

    I'm in Birmingham. At the moment I've got cigar box guitar "Make and Play" days lined up where you make your own guitar an learn to play - these are in Bristol and London. At the moment I've not got any playering only workshops, but I've had some requests - wherebouts are you? If there's a demand I can possibly arrange one near you.

    Chickenbone John,
    Hey, this is Tony Young from Texas.
    Your videos are the pleasure of the week for me.
    Please keep sending them.
    I'm looking for a 6 string CBG.
    Not a regular 6, but a 3 PAIR string, (1/2 of a twelve string).....
    Octaves on each pair, if you know what I mean......
    Can you help me ?
    Where can I buy one ?
    I will be sending you some music soon.
    Percussion, CBG's, Upright bass, etc.
    I just need your mailing address......
    Tony
