George, if you play six string, then tuning a fretted 3 string DGB lets you almost instantly use you know how and sounds good.   Especially easy in the key of G,  G chord open.  D or D7 just as you are accustomed to only a 2 finger chord (omitting the high e string)  and a 2 finger C and a 1 finger Em.   Check chord charts and highlight the DGB portion.

I hope you try that and that - my latest video uses DGB and is kind of clumsily finger picked.  

And I hope you learn the CBG mainstay I  V I such as GDg or DAd.   Knotlenny's CBG 101 was a revelation to me for that.

Thank you UJ... the playing is coming "slowly" but I have been busy building and all the other winter stuff so time is a bit limited.. I made this one (#3)  for a friend of mine in another province. Now working on # 4 for  maybe me who knows...I try to play a little each day or at least try.. I do play 6 string acoustic a lot but this is just way more fun to build and play with.. guess I'm hooked like a lot of people...

Extra nice, George.  You are new to me.  How's the playing going?  Lots of help in the how to play section at page top.  knotlenny's CBG 101 got me going.
