VIDEO: The Portland Cowboy 2-String Tin Can Guitar

Hear the actual antique 2-string guitar as shown in the book, along with the replica that is documented in Chapter 4 of Making Poor Man's Guitars. Also hear the Beer Can Microphone that is documented in Chapter 7!

    Worth the wait- truly a people's instrument. Btw, built me a 'mushy peas' tin mic at the weekend- it works, by thunder!
