Just wow. As one commenter said, the Swampmonster itself is "a work of art," and his playing is great.

To paraphrase Larry the Cable Guy, "I don't care what kinda music ya like, that's good stuff right there."

That's an amazing instrument and a great player.
Now for a question. What type of picks was Jack using? I'm originally an armpit guitar player and find it unnatural to wear metal picks and curl my fingers back into the "claw" position.

Randy,
Thanks for that information, I've ordered some. Yes, I'd love a Swampmonster too.

I thought the instrument sounded very good .The instrument being made of cypress which is a soft wood is unusual , most guys don't use a soft wood like cypress to build something like this ,Im in the south and we have lots of cypress trees and knees growing around the trees both in and out of water , interesting build however.
