Hi Folks, This is the group to share everything about the three string guitar.
If you have had problems in the past playing regular guitar, try playing a three string guitar, they are much easier and the have a vintage sound that is super unique and easy to capture that old school blues sound.
There is another website on the net that has a lot more 3 string guitar information. Here is the link to the website 3-string-guitar.com

I'll miss you Ray!
very cool touches and re-use Gary ;-)
My first build-
Body is a 9 ball pool rack, neck is a field hockey stick.
Sound hole cover are two halves of a silver serviette rack. String base cover is the end plate from a silver after dinner mint rack. Bridge is a bone section from a bangle and pegs are from a bass guitar. The pickup is a speaker from one of those headphones handed out to listen to movies on aircraft, mounted directly under the sound hole.
to Richard Dean,
why would you force your self to learn right handed if you
are left handed ? makes no sense to me. the only drawback
to playing left handed is when you go to buy a guitar. if i walk
into a store, say guitar center for example, there's literaly
a thousand guitars hanging on the walls. if one or two of
them are lefties you're extremely lucky. there's nothing
wrong about playing left handed. how many times have
you had someone say "oh,you play backwards"? you don't.
of course, unless you're just holding a righty left handed.
stand by your hand,be proud of that paw from the south.
if you have lots of 6 strings, how about sell them and just keep one for old times sake.
I think the reason 3 string guitars work so well, is not so much the tone ...but the fact that with the strings having a little more room in spacing, even a klutzy person can land on the string and still be half way hanging off of it ,yet it doesn't interfere with each of the other strings, so its more forgiving on the accuracy part
....and of corse the raunchy tone is flavorful too!....but even when I try to play 4 stringers to me even those are kinda hard to play and you have to be really carfelful with your picking and accuracy....a 3 string is really freedom
i know exactly how to answer you Dani /Bear ..... these 5 links should do it . ;-)
