A Fun Riff for 3-string (fretted) CBGs That Looks Hard... But It's Easy!

This baby really shines when it's plugged in but yeah... the acoustic tone is not bad. Thanks for watching Derek.

Cool riff Kale. Nice sounding 3 string too.

Thanks Greg. It's one of those simple things I play that I wanted to share with everyone.
