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

Hello everyone.I'm the guy here.Wow you are so right.3 string is the shiznit.I just found out about these guitars about 6 months ago and I am hooked.The first video I watched was of a guy named John Mcnair.I listened to it at least 15 times in a row.I can't put in to words how I felt.I was moved.All I can say is wow!!!I now am building my own C.B.G.'S.and learning to play.It changed how I hear music now.This is the real stuff,delta blues,live on forever!!!!!!

I found CBG's by a fluke....but I fell in love. Who would think 3 strings could sound sooooooo good! So I took 3 strings off my cheap Epiphone Les Paul Special
plugged in to my amp........WOW can't play a lick with 6 strings..but man I ain't too bad with 3. So now I'm hooked, bought a 3 string off of ebay.. it was cheap for a reason...terrible. Guess I'll have to build my own. When its done I'll post some pics. Long live the CBG especially the 3 string!!!!!
