Mostly blues, but I've been fooling with playing my resonator in a banjo-frailing style which sounds pretty good for certain folkie tunes like "little Mhttp://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/what-style-of-music-do-tou#aggie".

I decided to fret my cbgs generally as dulcimers as that is really quite folky. If you capo the first fret it takes on another mode (dorian) and so on - with phrygian as my favorite. good plucking!

Blues (traditional/Piedmont/Delta), mountain/folk music, gospel, middle eastern (really, I can get some wild N African/Mediterranean/Spanish sounds).

Sign me up for that folky-traditional-Celtic-mountain-gospel-protest old-type religion song stuff. Well, that's what I would play if I could play. Mostly I peck out country and gospel.

Since I tuned the CBG to DAd, everything sounds like Indian sitar/Beatles Norwegian Wood stuff. Including most of the gospel stuff. Kinda mixed messages.
