New videos – how to play songs on the cigar box guitar
I’ve had time to put together some new videos for how-to-play songs on the cigar box guitar. Here are some links below:
‘Get Back’: http://youtu.be/AwA9cEbIeLE?list=UUAXmz0dq0mIV-Ro6K3ssJyg
‘Voodoo Chile (slight return)’: http://youtu.be/-xBi7S5mzXQ?list=UUAXmz0dq0mIV-Ro6K3ssJyg
And just to throw in something a little different, here’s a vid with images from gigs and my workshop:
Let me know if there are other songs you’d like to learn and I’ll get onto it!
Gigs
I’ve been playing the CBG at venues around Brisbane and the Byron Bay area in the last couple of months. Here are a few pics.

Brunswick Hotel
The Joynt, Brisbane
West End (Davies Park) market in Brisbane
It’s winter in Brisbane and the 4.30am starts required to set up a stall at West End market on a Saturday morning are nearly killing me – but worth it. It’s a great, grassroots market that has some amazing buskers, great food and interesting characters. I’ll be down there the next couple of Saturdays and then the last couple in August. Come down to have a play – or if you want to just hang and listen.

Upcoming events
I’m heading out to the centre of Queensland for Gemfest from 7-10 August. I’ll be playing my CBGs on stage, as well as having a stall. I’d love to see you there (if you’re out that way!) It’s gonna be a blast.
Leftys Old Time Music Hall, Caxton St, Brisbane, 9pm, 21 August
I’ll be performing at this festival located in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. I’ll also have a stall so come and check it out!
