looking for the g spot on the g string

The level of brilliance is amazing. All from one string. Dang.

This is a lesson I've been looking for! Stay musical

I love your approach to teaching music.

Shane I love your teaching playing and enthusiasm. I'll be playing originals and covers all night.

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 👍🏆.

Built one the other day love it

I want to hear "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" on that thing :)

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!

Great. You are a champion for inspiring others to make music. Keep up the good work.

I,m in St.Louis , got a friend named Lance or Lawrence that makes these , lost track of him in 2010 be nice to find him again and buy a few off of him for practice , thanks for uploading :) QC

thanks shane - for open g tuning, that's an A# (3rd fret) i think

Man when you tune that string down a few notes it gives me chills .

So if you are tuned to G Is the "magic note" a C or a D?

Thanks much for your tutorials .. That particular Diddley bow intrigues me a lot and if you could what type of cigar box is that and what are the dimensions for the neck??

shane , thank you man great vid

You are the man bro awesome

thank you! well done! great teacher

Where is the magic note? My OCD starts up if I don't know the specific area of the neck

3rd fret. 3rd menor note :)

Great video!!!!!

Excellent! Is the magic note the 3rd fret, or 5th fret? Love it...

❤it y'all

☺️ 'Way to go Diddley Bow !! 🎶🎶 💙

MR.SPEAL,MR.SPEAL,,,,,Sir thanks for posting

Great lesson Shane love those old. Black Betty one of my favorites, But you might want to check the closed caption on that song lol not to accurate but kinda funny too 😜

feckin awesome bro!

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.

What string do you use

...AND for those with a tuner on hand, here are the notes I'm playing after tuning to G... Oh, wait.

WOW

Good info for people who have a clue about music. But for me its not a magic note,its a secret note,because I have no idea what you are talking about.

Captions on.. 4:15....🤣

1) diddley bow materializes in video / slight gris-gris...hoodoo presense eminates from screen...mojo... 2) rhythmic one note drone begins / spirit of the delta...bambara...papa l'ebat....labas...diddley mojo begins to work the room 3) slide begins riff note / mojo thick...the blues...on sa tier... the gris-gris drive away the v'eriquit'e....mojo in room full....petwo iwa they dance...hoodoo goin on 4) man begins to sing /...all disappears... instantly, room is cleared... like a tiny moth flying by a 6HP Bosch Dust Extractor Shop-Vac (sorry, I can't sing any better. had to laugh when the, any vibe at all, hit a brick wall)

I couldnt help but slide

Brushy one string got nothing on you bro

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 ^^'
