A Raucous Slide Guitar Blues Riff Played on a Homemade Hockey Stick Electric Guitar

The ever-creative Steve Onotera aka Samurai Guitarist showed his true Canadian roots when he played a wonderfully raucous slide guitar blues riff on a hockey stick that he and his dad converted into an electric guitar.

My friend Serge asked me recently “hey, why don’t you play a hockey stick guitar?”, I didn’t have a good answer so I made this.

Onotera also shared the instructions for building the hockey stick guitar plus a cute video that sort of explains some of the process.
