How to play "Purple Rain" on a 3-string CBG
I just got done listing a bunch of new cigar box guitars on eBay (see my auctions here) and each one has a demo video. I decided to take the demo video for a Punch CBG and turn it into a mini-lesson for how I play 'Purple Rain'.
Yes, I know my voice is out of tune and the intonation is off on the guitar... I was rushing to get the video done while my kids took a bath! (I'll be deleting this vid in about a week)
BTW, I also got that killer "Dixie Maid" CBG listed on eBay with a demo video, too. I love it...I gotta make another one to keep. DIXIE MAID ON EBAY

Those bath time videos are the best. Funny that's about the only few minutes I get too.

Shane,
Thanks for this! I think you got the camera angle just right on this one.
