CBG Tabs

So you built your CBG and now you need something to play on it, right? Well, if you're not completely musically inclined or can't read traditional music, tabs are your answer. If you're like me, you read tabs and sometimes make them. Paste'em here.

Tabs here is as a learning tool -- NOT for profit.

I'll also upload some blank tab sheets. Just let me know what you think and if I need to add anything.

I just recently Had a very beautiful 4 string made for me, its stringage as is, Gauges high to low, 12-16-20-30, tuned to open D major (DF#AD). Great for slide and chords. I also have messed around and found out DGBD, G major sounds great also. Another is a trippy DEAD, and theres DGAD. These string gauges are pretty versital and can handle all the different tunings listed above. Hope this helps!

Capt, there are a bunch of sites that are for Dulcimer but doubt that would help much. Dulcimers are diatonic (major scale) fretted. The tabs would not work per se unless you transcribed them. I usually look on Chordie.com to find tabs but most are standard EDGBe tuning.

I do GDBe (actually 1 simitone lower) so I can do standard guitar chords.

Looking for some tabs or songs to practice. My cbg is tuned to an open G or GDG. Any website or any you may have that you could send would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

LBO, My guitar (and most of the tabs I have here) are really chromatic scaled instruments (all the semitones, not just a major/minor scale). Tho, you can do chords in diatonic 3 string. Also most of my tab fingerings are for chromatic and thus would be quite different on yours.

example: my |--1--| would not be the same as your |--1--|. Your |--1--| would be my |--2--| being that I have a semitone in there.

Keni Lee Burgess has some really great vids on how to work with 3-string. I also have some dulcimer tabs here (I think) which should work. Mostly DAD, DAA or DGB tuning. If I don't have them here, I can make them available.

Hi, ...Wes I don't understand a few things, I use three strings guitar in diatonic scale, how can I use the tabs you sent for four strings ? Are your four strings guitars in diatonic scale too guys ? would it mean my bottom string is the same as yours ? ... Also I may have a request because I'm looking for "Fly me to the moon" tabs for a three strings guitar, does anyone have it ? Many thanks
