Ok, I'm still tryin'. Here's a tune I've played before on youtube but this is the first time I've played it on cigar box guitar. That's quite a stretch for me from the 2nd to the 5th fret on this song and I'm wonderin' if I make my next cbg a shorter scale length would it be easier to play or would that change the sound of the guitar. Things to think about.

Here's my Grandson Mark Mason 7 years old playin' my new home made 3 string cigar box guitar. He started strummin' my 6 string when he was 7 months old. We hope to build him a guitar this summer.

This is an old song I learned from my Dad many years ago and I've been able to remember most of the words. So here I am with my newly built 3 string cigar box guitar tuned A D A and I'm tryin' to play the melody and sing the song at the same time. That's really difficult for me. But then, I always did have trouble tryin' to chew gum and walk at the same time. Playin' standard guitar chords and singin' is much easier but I really like the idea of singin' those old timey country songs and playin' that cigar box guitar. Thank you guys again for helpin' me through my first build.
