David:

I recently ordered a basic three string box guitar. I thought it would be fun to pick up some blues slide guitar on it while playing a harmonica in a rack. It would be great if there was a video here on rack playing. Did not know if yourself or one of the contributors could add some insight on proper rack playing or do a video.

Thanks

Brian

Hello Brian. You'll find that

Hello Brian. You'll find that instruction in the interviews. There's really not much to talk about, but I did make point to ask the rack players to share their tips. Check out Jimi Lee's especially and TJ Klay's. Have fun!

Thanks I'll check it out.

David:

Thanks, I'll check those videos out. I have been practicing playing with a rack to get a feel for proper set up. Should be an interesting experiment once my box guitar arrives.

It's challenging for everyone

It's challenging for everyone to get used to at first, but you'll get the hang of it with time.
