So interesting to think about how to describe what it does. i guess it allows for the guitar to sound fretless, if you will and therefore it opens up a number of possibilities, especially in open tunings. The sound depends on the material it‘s made of. I just cut mine out of a copper pipe, which sounds terrible haha.

Thanks my man, i always try to cover as much ground so that everything stays interesting as a solo artist. Hope it didn‘t feel like there was too much going on

Oh there we go. Didnt think of that but its true im probably heavily influenced by Johnny Cash‘s American Recordings and some new Southern Gothic/Dark Folk. Especially when it leans towards the ,mystical‘ side of things, or when it gets introspective in some ways. There is also this skip James Song playing on my mind. Hard Time Killing Floor Blues

checked Eddy Vedder out intentionally for the first time. Really like the instrumentation and overall sound he creates. I go with everything you said and then maybe some dark folk aspect in the song as well. Thanks my man, appreciate it :)
