Hi All,

I'm looking for a tutorial on Ain't No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant. Has a real nice chunky slide sound.

Anybody play this on a CBG? I'm tuned to GDg right now but I'll switch to any tuning for a chance to learn this one.

Thanks

Howdy Jerry, and welcome amigo!

There are a bunch of really talented folks on here and they will jump-through-hoops to help you learn how to play the CBG. 

And when you are ready to start building them, check out www.GittyMan.com

He has a really detailed instruction book and it is only $14.

Keep us up to date on your CBG journey!

Hi, I've just discovered CBG's, I've built and played some dulcimer's and am building several strumsticks for the elementary school music program when I found this site. MAN, the music you all get out of 3 strings blows me away. When I get done with the strumsticks my next project is definitely a CBG .Thanks
