I am always blown away and inspired by the players that come through my stall at The Bluesfest.
From seasoned players to absolute beginners.
Always a thrill to get someone who has never played a cbg (or guitar) before up and running.
Here is some footage. All shot on my phone. Next time i'll do it all sideways.
Fun Fun Fun!
It's a long video so maybe grab a beer or a cup of Tea
or a cbg and jam along!

After hastily cobbling together a workbench out of an old palette, wine crates, and a few cinder blocks, I commenced to sawin'…

I am starting my own CBG company; Insolitus Guitars. I chose the name because cigar box guitars are unusual, uncommon and that is what I enjoy most. I love unusual things and music from these instruments is beautiful to me. Even on youtube from the least skilled player the music rings in my ears something sweet. I found out about cigar box guitars in college my sophomore year. I didn't have money for a guitar so I 'googled' DIY (Do It Yourself) guitars online and there they were. They were…

He wanted me to tweak it a bit and put a double octave string for the high strings and have a strum stick fretting on it. It turned out nice and sounded really beautiful. I used a nice Punch box i found in San Diego on a business trip and piece of…
