Keni, i was a little afraid of opening your attachment and all! Curiosity (ate the cat) that poor animal! You did give me a laugh however! Best to you!

Hi Keni. I have been watching your vids for some time now and I love your style. I have built a "cookie tin" 3 string and have just purchased ypur 3 string instructional CD. Looking forward to getting it and seeing what gems I can glean.
I am a tuba player in brass bands and community concert bands and this style of music is really different to what I am used to playing but I love the freedom to experiment. God bless and keep the great stuff coming :)
The mechanical tuners are called pegheds (http://www.pegheds.com/). They work really well and really add an oldtime aesthetic. But, they're not cheap. Elderly sells them for basically $20 per peg.
Mr. Keni Lee Burgess,
I've never tried to play guitar before but just picked up a 6 string electric guitar to try to learn the walking bass line before I make my own three string cigar box. I must be pretty rubish as I now have a blood blister on my thumb after two & half hours and only just getting the first four notes but with the in betweens.
I hope it gets easier on a three string (although I am making it a fretless slider).
I will add it's a great video.
i talked allready to a friend of mine who plays guitar. so the project is to make some music with all of my creations. next day possible we'll gonna have some fun. these vids will come!!!!!!
keni the new one it's called cb.power- becouse delvero brouth over cigarboxes from the states all the way down here in sicily. i tuned it in many ways but the tune witch is really good it's "f". so i wanna ask u got some tabs for a FOR STRING IN F? don't know much of open tuning but i use an app called guitar tuner.the cb-power sounds very nice and warm in f, but don't know what to do for playing somthing nice.
still lisening to your lessons but its hard. i love to play harp so gotta turn into strings, and it cut a little!
greets konstantin
hi keni, how are u, check out my profile. i finished the first real cigarbox guitar. the boxes was brought from Delvero all over from the states to sicily. i like that network. now we can creat cbgs international.
take care seeya :-)
99% of electricity is sourced from coal, hydroelectric, and nuclear, which all do horrendous damage to life on earth - I have to go with Old Lowe on the acoustic bit...and yes, I realize that my laptop uses electricity. That is why everything but the compact fridge is turned off at this moment.
