The Cigar Box Guitar Builder Podcast Adam Harrison

Well I'm alone today. Our interview fell through this week due to unforeseen circumstances and Darren is out of action due to the dreaded man-flu.
I thought I'd take the opportunity to answer some of the questions that had been posed during this last week by you, our group members. 
I have been building CBGs and guitars for the last 12 years and playing and setting up guitars since 1987.....Oh crap that is a long time!! Anyway, the way I do things may be different than the way other builders might do things and that is ok. 
Thank you for supporting the show and an enormous THANK YOU to Ben 'Gitty' Baker and the team at CBGitty for supporting the podcast.

Welcome back to another episode of the world's numkber one, most favorite CBG podcast!! 
Darren and I are joining you today to chat about all the interesting things that are happening in the group. New builds, new members and some incredible group contributions. 
Adam gets super excited about the proper place to put piezo pickups and proves his point with a really cruddy demonstration with a beaten up, 8 year old, rusty CBG. Only the best content ladies and gentlemen.
Darren shows his sensitive side by explaining his grandson's latest saying, which is, "Don't bite your friends".

I've known Pete for about ten years now. He is an incredibly kind and generous person who always gave excellent feedback on my builds and helped me to develop my craft in my early days. He also gave me a car load of old timber to help me get started. Some of which I am still using today! He is a master builder who builds CBGs, electric and acoustic 6 strings and even makes his own pickups. He has a HUGE wealth of knowledge. He is an active member of the Cigar Box Guitar Builder FB group. 
You can find Pete Veevers/Buzzard Guitars on Facebook and his guitars on eBay. 
I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed catching up with an old mate.

Join me, Adam Harrison and Darren McDonald as we talk about recent activity in the cigar box guitar world. The conversation ranges from appreciating supportive community members, acknowledging the negative aspect of group dynamics, to the importance of maintaining a positive and respectful atmosphere in every community, especially in artistic domains such as cigar box guitar building.
We not only discusses community dynamics but also acknowledge the incredible work of guitar creators who’ve astounded us with their ingenious designs and creativity. With a special mention of Junksville Guitars for their brilliant and funky creations and Richard Pedretti-Allen's inventive use of cigar boxes to make charming tambourines. Towards the end, we share the nuances and challenges faced while drilling steel and constructing shovel guitars.
The dialogue embraces several anecdotes from teaching music in schools to sharing personal experiences of crafting unique guitars, shedding light on the host's unique approach to customizing and the hurdles faced during the process. Engage yourself in this fascinating journey of imparting music knowledge to young learners, and enjoy a recollection of joining a band performing classic tracks.
This episode not only delves into music creation but also touches upon other areas such as the art of drumming, exchanging instruments with friends and explores different musical genres. 
So tune in to enrich your understanding of music, guitar building, and community dynamics. The episode ends with an open invitation to all listeners to share their stories and experiences in the future episodes, taking a step further in creating engaging musical content. 
And remember, as Darren said, "Don't bite your friends."
