Cigar Box Guitar Ideas for improving.......

Hello all....

I have loaded up some ideas that i hope will help anybody play the cigar box guitar. At the moment all lessons are on my fretted 3 string tuned to GDG.

Lessons will work just fine for anybody who plays fretless as well. Ideas are for slide and fingers.

Thought would just upload a discussion to let you know about new videos i have uploaded as well as answer and questions, or comments you may have.

My youtube cigar box guitar lesson playlist is HERE don't forget to subscribe to my channel

Hope you enjoy and i hope to hear from you soon
