Great videos, Shane! My mother learned your first chant in the 1930s, growing up in the Florida panhandle. Her version: Once upon a time, the goose drank wine, the monkey chewed tobacco on a sweet potato vine, etc...

Hrom Blesk He's playing a Bb which is the minor 3rd of G. Also, C would be the perfect (not major) fourth. No hostility, just letting you know.

I just got a Diddley Bow together, so I need some instructions on how to play. Thanks for your wisdom in the video.😎

I live in the deep south and i know several people that play the one string diddley bow and they are damn good at it and i mean really good, that's the only instrument they play and will not play anything else, they all make their own diddley bow's, to them it's like a badge of honor, they take it serious and they really know music, i love it, great video 👍🏆.

Great video!! I just built my first one last weekend out of a 3 and a half foot wooden steak that we used as a string marker when we poured a concrete footing. Two screws, an old used acoustic G-string and a large bolt later and I’ve got a crude Diddley-Bow. I’ve been using a small glass medicine bottle but I was thinking of using a small piece of copper pipe, but I really like your idea of a 3/4 socket. I’ve been playing with different ideas of a sound box for it, but it makes such a unique walking stick that I’m tempted to leave it open. I’ve been playing everything from the Stones to Zeppelin to old blues riffs to original compositions but I never ... and I mean Never ... thought to use old children’s rhymes like RamJam did with Black Betty. Simplistic and brilliant all at once!

thanks shane - for open g tuning, that's an A# (3rd fret) i think
@pihtbull305510 жыл бұрын
Man when you tune that string down a few notes it gives me chills .
@sydmarty13 жыл бұрын
So if you are tuned to G Is the "magic note" a C or a D?
@mcstabba3 жыл бұрын
That would be C.

Bb - it's the minor third

I reckon he's talking about the equivalent to the 5th fret on the guitar, which would be a c, a major fourth from the G.
@keykrazy8 жыл бұрын
+Hrom Blesk I believe he's talking about the minor 3rd, i.e. the note "G" on a 6-string guitar in standard tuning.

C'est quoi ton histoire de 'note magic"? Déjà tu utilise une seul corde et tu te serre de 2 notes seulement.. Autant utilisé une corde a linge ^^' T'es pas un bon musicien a mon avis ^^'
