My cigar box guitars tend to be diatonically fretted as are stick dulcimers (strum sticks) and mountain dulcimers. You can also find a lot of easy-to-play music by searching "strum stick" and "mountain dulcimer" web sites. My favorites I'll put here using a "play by numbers" format…

This sad news was in my email this morning regarding the health of Blues great, Robin Rogers. Robin is always very nice to me and always willing to sign guitars or pose for pictures. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with her in Memphis this past May for the Blues Music Awards. She is very talented and kind hearted. Please keep her in your prayers.
This sad news comes from Steve Hecht at Piedmont Talent.…

Does anyone have a recommendation for the types of strings for a 4 string electric CBG?
In open G tuning( GDgB)...would you go with wound G&D & plain g & B? If so, what gauge?
I just installed wound 4 ( .032)...Wound 3 ( .024), plain 2( .016) & plain 1 ( .115)...sounds very electric, but not twangy....
You're suggestions are welcome
