...in the early 80's american bluesman Billy Jones was the lead guitarist for an outstanding group of touring musicians who called themselves 'The Incredible Rock City Band'. ...this song is taken from the only known video of one of their live shows. ...these guys are great! ...every band member is a star!
They performed on military installations all over the United States for the U.S. Dept. of MWR for more than ten years during the 80's and 90's. ...I'm sure that there are many veterans out there who remember seeing this band at NCO and Officer's clubs back in the day.

2011-09-05T17:16:40.368Z

Nothing special, just playing one of the 3 string cigar box guitar that I made myself. Tuned to E-B-e with a $2 Radio Shack Piezo Transducer 273-073 taped inside for a pick-up and an old DOD overdrive pedal running through a Peavey amp. . .

Statesboro Blues 4 string fretless slide by Mark Stowe

2010-06-27T05:59:14.673Z

Here is a simple arrangement of the blues classic "Statesboro Blues". I've got the 4 string fretless cigar box guitar tuned to open G (G-B-d-g) which makes it easy to play the song on a single instrument and still manage to add some Duane Allman style slide.
While the song is played in the key of D, Duane Allman had his guitar tuned to open E and played the song around the tenth fret. To match what he did I like using the open G tuning G-B-d-g and centering my playing around where the 7th fret would be (if I had frets).
While this open G tuning may not be as popular as other open G tunings (namely the D-G-b-d open G tuning), I think you'll find it great for call and answer blues riffs.
