How's it going folks? In future I think I will be posting once a week. These videos can take days to make and can't be rushed. Hope you like it. :-)

I also oil the strings every now and then to get oxidation off them. I use a lemon oil string cleaner from dunlop.

It makes it much easier to play but the lemon oil is a bit stinky 😂😂👍

Yeah don't rub your eyes after playing lol or you'll be singing tears in my beers.

Haha I suppose you could always use the lemon oil as a salad dressing at a push? 😂😂👍
