Glenn Watt has a bunch of useful videos on it as well, and there is a lot more out there.

I really like the sound these things make. They're kind of awesome.
Yeah, there's something about the simplicity of it. Awesome is the right word.
Glenn Watt's site has tablature for a lot of songs, including the "Marine Corp Hymn." I'd like to hear that on one of these things.
Okay, so here's the hymn.

Frankly, I was hoping for more of a Jimmy Hendrick's rendition of it.
A lot of Watt's CBG music on YouTube is not what I would think of as normal CBG music: Very little blues, more Greensleeves.
