If you enjoy three string guitars, this is the place!

Hi Folks, This is the group to share everything about the three string guitar.

 If you have had problems in the past playing regular guitar, try playing a three string guitar, they are much easier and the have a vintage sound that is super unique and easy to capture that old school blues sound.

 There is another website on the net that has a lot more 3 string guitar information. Here is the link to the website  3-string-guitar.com

OK, Juju...How's this, i made it in under an hour...it's a fun one.
I found some sunglass on the side of the road while walking home from the store...I put them them on and a flash of light beamed down from outer space and told me they were from the future, so I made a song about it!
