In this episode, I describe and play boat paddle guitar of my own design. My source of inspiration was a video featuring a boat oar guitar with a magnetic pickup. My version has a piezo disk pickup but for this episode, I play the guitar as an acoustic instrument. The guitar itself features fret lines and dots I burned into the handle with a wood burning tool. The bridge and nut consist of wood dowels.

This podcast features music from simple folk instruments I have built myself. These instruments include cigar box guitars and diddley bows. Diddley bows are similar; to guitars but are basically &#34;minimalist&#34; instruments. A simple Diddley bow may consist of a wood board or even the side of a house, two nails, a piece of wire and an object such as a bottle, sea shell or metal can to serve as a bridge. Diddley bows are typical of the American South and are often used for playing blues music.
