"If you have a 4 string guitar tuned to G, thats a banjo. there are thousands of banjo chord books. Im a banjo player and have built all my music knowledge off of banjo and open tunings. I know very minimal music theory, but can get a tune or rhythm…"

Greasy's Easy Chords

Since i started playing these cbg's i've been wishing i had a chord book. A recent attemp to teach myself music theory gave me the idea to try to share anything i learn to help myself memorize what i've learned, and give ppl a sort of Chord Book. this will be a work in progress, so please be patient!See More

Thomas A. Boatwright commented on Ice Bob's group Cigar box tunings
"Just saw you asked for 4 string sorry. I'd stay with open G since the banjo has four main strings tuned open DGBD. That gives you a place to start and lots of chord charts for banjo.   But Im a banjo player so Im partial to such things."

"Open tuning of 1:5:1 like GDG, AEA, CGC always works. For open G (GDG) I use the A , D and G string from an acoustic set."

"Ive got a super nice RB036 Recording King Open back banjo that I'd love to trade for a nice CBG and/or gear. Normally these run around $970 new, but I'm willing to cut the value in half. Send me a message if you're interested!"

You had asked about the Cigbooster. I've never made any demos because it's so much more subtle than a fuzz pedal. I just finished a new batch (the first batch sold out), so if you are interested in purchase, go to www.cigbooster.bigcartel.com Thanks! Dennis

Just listened to you audio of the hack job sounds good to me. Sounds a little like an asian type instrument also because of the tin for the bridge, but I like it.
