What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
It is simpler to play for an old man with a young man's feel for rhythm. I have just bought Gitty's hymnal and it is full of good things. I must buy vol. 2.

George, no guided tour needed,  just scroll around and click, it’s that easy, don’t be intimidated by how busy the layout of the page is, I know there’s lots to look and can be a bit confusing? You may want to take the issue of shipping rates up with support at cbgitty directly, there’s a link at the very top of the page to the site? Here’s how to post pictures, and don’t forget to click on HTML Editor before you click the Post/Comment button?
