Diane,

These are amazingly easy to play, I think with just a little practice you could get around a very nice blues progression with ease.... I like regular "strumsticks" OK, but this one is strung with 6-5-4/4 from a light set of electric strings and I could get a very strong open "G" from it....

Thanks for the info that got me onto this.... I love it...

the best,

Sam

Thanks, Sam, for posting this vid. Now folks can hear how a blue-box sounds and make one for themselves!
