<p>Well there a 4 string Cigar Box Guitars too, as well as 5, 6 & more string versions. My newest Cigar Box Guitar will be a 7 string Cigar Box Guitar in Russian Open G Tuning so anything you do on the top 4 strings can be done on the bottom 4 as well. The 4th string is what we call a Pivot String cause it allows you to change between Octaves really easily.</p>

<p>This should be renamed, "How To Transpose Any Guitar Tab Into The Key Of G", Then the Satisfaction riff would be correct the way it's written above. Otherwise it would be correctly "converted" as shown below, except the low string is usually shown at the bottom of tab, so you would switch where the low G and high g strings are shown.</p>
<p>What's the difference, besides being able to use open strings more if everything is in G?</p>

<p>Well, first if you transpose the melody, you also have to transpose all of the chords by the same interval. (Not a problem for songs that are already in G.) Second, if you're playing and singing, your vocals will also have to be moved into the key of G. This may not be a problem if you are a solo artist, or a one man band. But if you're playing with a band or other musician who knows the song, I guarantee that the first note they hit on the riff will be a B, they'll be in album key the whole way. You're awesome minor third harmony part that you will play if you learn Satisfaction in the key of G will either be considered pure genius, or not. You decide. :)</p>

<p>I'm a pure beginner and don't understand that you changed the notes from the six string to play on the 3 string</p>

<p>Looks liek the tab formats the text which is why everything goes off after it, see if this works</p>

E--------------------------- |--1--3-----1- 3----- 3<br/>
<br />
<p>As I was saying..... This is is a tricky one to get the key, all the notes are in C but it doesn't really look like it belongs there, looks like some weird-ass metal modal thing;)</p>
