If you enjoy three string guitars, this is the place!
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 just finished my first 3-string CBG yesterday and brought it to a jam at work today. Everyone was like, "what? only 3 strings?" One guy said, "when you get up to 6 strings, I'd like to commission one." Unfortunately I don't even know the basic chords yet, so I just picked the bass line. I tuned it AEA because GDG seemed too floppy.

So I ordered Kenni Lee's CD's on how to play the three string guitar. Are there any other resources out there to help an aspiring (or is that perspiring?) three string afficianado?- Fat Toed Fozzie

I am new. I have been reading over the comments. several were why the slanting bridge. It's because the small string ctretches more when you push it down. Many guitars have a way of chaging the length of each string.
