How to Play the Blues/Rock Shuffle on 3-string Cigar Box Guitar

I decided to do another quick CBG lesson this month. In this video, I show you how to play the basic blues/rock shuffle. You can play this riff on any 3-string fretted cigar box guitar that is tuned I-V-I (e.g. G-D-G). This is just the rudiments. Once you get this riff down, you can easily create more rhythms from it.

Thanks Doug and Dave. You're absolutely right Dave... there's a hundred different ways to play the basic shuffle.

Nice tutorial Kale. I do it a little different but I like your way too. Nice step down turnaround. I’ll try that.

Great lesson Kale! Worked great on my 2-string Chugger too. I concur with everyone else; it’s fun to play and easy to get groovin' with.
