Looks great, but I think it is out of tune a bit. Or maybe the intonation is off.

This is the 'C2' Diddley Bow.
The 'C1' didn't have any strings. You just bang it on the floor and hit the pan with a spoon.

At the 7:10 point, he says "depending where you're tapping at."

Why do people put an 'at' at the end of a sentence like that? Shouldn't it just be 'depending where you're tapping?' I hear people say "Where did you buy that at?"

One of those little things that drives me nuts. Like people who say "supposably'.

Ending a sentence with a preposition is indeed bad form and frowned upon, but in Swenglish we look the other way because we have NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY!!!

True, my good friend Jocke's English is not perfect.

BTW, since you're an expert on languages, how is your Swedish?

Never claimed to be an expert in languages and can't speak a word of Swedish. Didn't mean to offend Jocke and I extend sincere apologies.

Mike I'm not offended, buddy Paul don't read your post. It was not me that use "at" as you refer to, it was Paul's lookalike in the youtube video.

On the other hand, ending a sentence with a PROPOSITION can be good form, for e.g.
"Supposably you are here on your own, where do you live at? We could go there for some fun."
