Reviews:
Really awesome stuff Brent I've always loved blues music and blues licks since I was a kid. I just found out about all of the CBG activity and am just starting to learn on my new 3 string box. I've tried full size 6 string guitars several times but never improved enough because of such short stubby fingers. Now I have lots more hope.
Big thanks for all these great riffs Brent ... Jon
