Cigar Box Guitars

[peterd]

That’s why I build and play three string Cigar Box Guitars. Any numpty (Me) can play them pretty darn good. All with one finger if that’s all you wish to learn.

You can do Middle East sound as well with just the three.

As we got split into our own dedicated post here are some other channels good for learning how to play three string cigar box guitars. Beginner to intermediate add in Uncle Mark's channel also for those that like learning ZZ Top and songs from Americana.

My all time favorite builder channel for those that want to turn one of your old cigar boxes laying about into a bonifide guitar and join in on the fun is Del Puckett's channel. Shane Spiel above also teaches to build more roots oriented CBGs and slide guitars.

Part 1 of 5 build a guitar videos from 2020, the channel also has over 165 building videos to explore

Southern Fire out of Florida is a real nice guy and good builder and player. I like chilling with Michael out in the woods.

If you are an absolute day 1 beginner, Shane will definitely get you started.
