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

Comment by 3 String Blues on September 27, 2010 at 8:26am: NEW FRESH CIGAR BOX GUITAR HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST UNCOVERED LIKE GOLDEN TREASURES OF A PHARAOH'S PAST!!!

Lee Bonds came on the hillbilly music scene in 1953 with a couple of Capitol Recordings that were released on June 8 - "Okee-fi-no-kee Gal" and "Undecided Heart". He was a native of Gadsden, Alabama. As a lad, he amused himself by making his own guitar out of a cigar box, wire strings and a wooden neck. Later, he got his own guitar, learned it well enough to where he was in demand at the local square dances and parties.

When he was just 18, he left home to try his luck as an entertainer with his newly formed band. They toured throughout the deep south - Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida.

But ironically, after doing this for five years, his first break came when he returned to his hometown of Gadsden, Alabama and the local radio station WGWD made him a member of their staff.

From there, he became the mainstay of the "Midway Jamboree" that had a host of performers and guest stars.

LISTEN TO THE SLIDE WORK ON THIS TRACK!!!!!!!
ARRRROOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
