Become a Blues Diddley Bow Player Today
Music is meant to be fun. Anybody with an inclination to make music should be able to. Unfortunately we are taught that, in order to make music, you need to study music tablature, learn scales and chords, spend money on expensive musical instruments and practice loads. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Have you ever see any African tribes people dancing to drums? These drummers will never have studied drumming at college. They obviously can't read music and wouldn't know a scale or chord if it hit them on the head. But they are certainly having a good time. Using simple instruments to make music, maybe a home made drum or rattle, is really great fun and what music should be all about.
There is a one stringed Brazilian instrument with African roots called a Berimbau. Not surprisingly it looks a bit like a bow that could be used for hunting. Now this simple instrument is the precursor to pretty much all forms of stringed instrument including guitars, harps and even pianos.
You may have heard of the Diddley Bow. This is an African American folk instrument that uses only one string or wire. These might be made from nothing more than a plank of wood with a length of wire stretched from end to end. The string is tensioned with something uses as a bridge and the pitch is varied by fretting the string with a piece of bone, glass or maybe a knife or some other form of slide.
Lonnie Pitchford, a well known exponent of the Diddley Bow would make his one stringed instruments by attaching a wire to the vertical support of his front porch. Diddley bows were commonly made by poor field workers and share croppers in the Mississippi Delta region.
The sound of the slide and the Diddley bow is very much the sound of the blues. Many of the original blues greats from the 1920s and 1930s got their start by playing these simple one string instruments. One popular modern day Diddly bow player is Seasick Steve. So why not knock together a simple Diddley Bow and become a one string virtuoso today.
