Scrapyard guitars workshop

The workshop I gave at the Graffiti Gallery as part of the send and receive festival was a lot of fun. I demonstrated my One String Bass Slide Guitar made with a hockey stick, my washtub bass and several other one and two string guitars. Ten Diddley Bows were made and decorated by 6 kids, 2 teenagers and a couple of adults. At the end we jammed and ate pizza. Good times.

Whoa... three posts on one day.

Here's some pics of a work in progress started last week. A one string slide bass guitar made from a used hockey stick and some scrap metal for an as of yet to be determined project in the future. The string so far is 18 gauge utility wire. The next part is to wire it up with a hand rolled coil pick-up and support electronics.
