The Sunshine Diddley Bow Vlog #2
Please remember that THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL. There are tons of pages online that will get you started just do some searches and poke around. I am just showing you how I figured out how to make all this stuff work for me. If you have questions, feel free to ask. If I know the answer I will get back to you. Also, don’t hesitate to share your discoveries and sounds with me either here on Youtube or on my Facebook page. Hit the like button if you are so inclined:

You know the “Little Green Monster” you drew for my rant on envious people? Well, I take it back because there IS one thing I’m envying–I wish I had a Diddley Bow! It’s going on my Christmas list.
Hey Rachel, There are lots of great DIY diddley bow tutorials on the internet. I was thinking about maybe putting a “tute” together when I have all the bits and bobs collected. They are easy to make and fun as heck to play!
Love the instrument and the Diagram Sketch.
