It is a crazy world we are living in today. The thing is it has always been crazy. The difference today we are more aware of it because everyone has a camera to record events. And we are bombarded with information twenty four seven three hundred and sixty five days a year. All through history things have been happening. We have had wars and famines and plagues all throughout history. There will always be something to be concerned about.
You need to live your life. Every day you get out of bed is a good day. Looking down at the grass is better than looking up at the grass. What does any of this have to do with me making a guitar out of a shovel? It is easy to get caught up in the hamster wheel of life. It is important to always be curious. To always be exercising your imagination. This is really important. You want to do things that are fun and to exercise your imagination. This is why I decided to make this three string shovel guitar.
While stuck at home during the quarantine I have been watching RUclips videos. There is a musician named Seasick Steve and he makes guitars out of all kinds of crazy things. There is another musician up near Nashville named Justine Johnson and he made a shovel guitar. Watching these two musicians gave me the idea to make my own three string shovel guitar.
It is all about living the life of your dreams. Living happy fun loving and carefree. Life is about the journey and not just the destination. I have a Marshall code 50 amplifier. There are no frets on a shovel guitar. You play using a slide and I have a ceramic slide. I’m always looking for something fun to do. I purchased a cigar box guitar on eBay about seven months ago and started playing. So far I have learned three songs. Because we want to exercise our brain. To keep our curiosity going and to use our imagination.
Let’s play this shovel guitar for the very first time. If anything this will be entertaining.
