Basic techniques for cigar box guitar playing

A few tips and pointers..unprepared and unrehearsed...just recorded in a break in my working day, still dusty from the workshop, as you can see from my shirt and cap. It's a bit long this one I'm afraid..but there just seems so many points to cover...and yes, I do ramble on!

Hi John, 

This was very interesting and very helpful.  Not only for cigarbox, but for sliding on any guitar.

This is great and very welcomed. I have watched it through several times now and I think you have put a lot of very useful information into this. Well done and may there be many more.

Good lesson, John.   How critical is if for slide that all the strings be at the same level?
