How to play a 3 string Cigar Box Guitar - Beginner slide lesson 12 Bar Blues

Wow ❤

And, that was fun ...what kind of pickup were you using??

Nice lesson i should be able to catch on to this tune

Great video :)

As always 😎

Really enjoyed this video but could you please explain your strumming pattern? Thank you.

Very cool video, Michael, thank you again. This is the second of your videos I've watched today (June 10, 2023). The first was posted from around this same time-frame, it was how to play a swampy sounding blues lick. Great stuff, keep them coming, and I'll be playing catch-up trying to watch more of them as I'm picking up my first CBG tomorrow.

Thanks! I love the Blues! A big hug straight from the City of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil!

Where can i buy a guitar like that? I'm wanting one to try to learn to play so bad but can't find a good one any where...

Super sympa je suis aussi joueur de cigar box mais amateur je vous trouve sympa dommage nous habitons loint nous aurions put jouer ensemble Patrick de France 🇫🇷 🥃

😎

You are incredible! Thank you

Oh I can't wait to give this a jam.. everyone is asleep so probably not a good time to crank this one out 😉

Brillian, simply brilliant.

where cab I buy this video?

My junk yard guitar has strings so high off the neck that It is really difficult to press down on one string.

Man I love it I wish I could do it .

It's not really a guitar. I like the sound it makes, though. I think I might look for one.

Fantastic! Absolutely terrific!

I just happened to run across your channel and I like what you did to that Stratocaster keep on keeping on don't stop you're great

brilliant instructional vid michael, I have learnt more here in this 1 vid than i have watching others make it so confusing. Now I get it thanks m8

Ok gonna have to build one before I get to old to do so !!!

Brilliant!!!

Don't eliminate the rattle from the slide. That's like people over shielding their strats to try to filter out the noise caused by the springs interacting with the pickups. That noise is part of the sound. If you don't like that sound then you've chosen the wrong instrument to make music with.

Love this, it looks (and sounds) like so much fun! I have my eye on a CBG in your Etsy store now.

Amazing. I'm trying to play this riff, but until now I'm having problems with the rythym

thanks sir I'm just beginning the 3 string cigar box guitar and your video helped me out greatly. just subscribed to your channel 😊

Now I know why guitar players are always smiling -- so fun to get (at least something resembling) the sounds here. I bought a "Blues Box Guitar" kit and as soon as I put it together and started playing these tutorials, I got the bug :D

Thank you for breaking down the 1/4/5 progression. You'd be amazed at how many teachers dive into using the terminology without context or explanation, making noobies like me feel lost immediately.

awesome video...rock on

just ordered one of your resinators. Cant wait for it to get here

Thanks Michael for this Lesson 👍

Thanks for this, Vox man i like it 👍

Excellent, thank you Sir! ✌😎

Hi Michael, great video’s packed with the most useful information and great to watch, thank you. That said, please can you tell me if I have any hope. In the twilight years of my life I find myself thinking of making a three string cigar box guitar but can I learn to play the thing?
I know I have the skills to do the work, after 50 odd years of being a carpenter/ joiner/ cabinet maker, and I can see from your vids that you have found great skills yourself. I have a lot of things to find out about but to start, I figured I could start with a fret less neck and once I have the general construction engrained into my brain perhaps with mark two I could go for the full job. I have already ordered a nice cigar box, and in the wood store I have Oak, Mahogany, Ash, etc. I will have to get some tuners, strings, later fret materials, So I am up and running, and thanks to you I think all I need to know. Do you think my first question with practice possible? Thanks again Michael looking forward to any comments you might pass on. Thanks Bob, UK Oxfordshire…

Big thanks for France great!!!

Everybody loves a little southern rock. Being from Memphis I can relate to that. Great stuff !

How do you tune that first string to g without the string breaking? Mine breaks everytime.

Great lesson Mike, hey what are those big brown boxes on YOUR left?

Hey, Michael, what a nice vídeo. Just one begginers question: is It possible to play these riffs on a fretless 3 strings ? Keep up with The blues!

what size and make string do you normally use for GDG?

Watched this and instantly subscribed then picked up my 3 string! Great and just what I needed, will be watching for more.

Awesome video man, good stuff!

Great lesson for such a lovely nachured man. Please keep these videos coming.

Won't lie, Puckett sold me on getting a 3 string, but you're the one I'm going to learn with. I have a 3 string fretless, and want to squeeze all the fun out of it that I can, even if it came with a full length slide that I can't maneuver it all that well. Hope you might have some ideas for those of us, love your homesy "jamming in the garage together" charm!

Awesome lesson 👍

Hello from Ireland ,I do some blacksmithing work in my spare time .A guy approached me and asked me to make him a branding stamp to mark the cigarbox guitars he makes .I never heard of these instruments before but l'm glad I have now .Great music

Please please please.I can not find the right strings as well as the pulling and the brand of the strings to have the same sound as you.merci beaucoup

Hi Micheal, how r you? I have a question. 🙉
