My All-time Favorite CBG Tuning (& Why I Love It)

Here's another CBG Tutorial for the month of November. This time, I talk about my all-time favorite 4-string cigar box guitar tuning. I really like the A-D-G-B tuning because it's very flexible and easy to find strings. I take a closer look in this video.

Comment by Uncle John on December 1, 2021 at 2:24am: Aw, what a nice old cat. ADGB tuning!!! There are so many tunings. OH! That is the middle four from a six. Hmmm.. Yeah, that makes sense, especially if you play a six. Hunh. Stop by and let me try one? Meanwhile I like GDGB, DGB, GDG, DAD, ADF#. And a few more. Good video. Well done.

Comment by Poorness Studios on November 30, 2021 at 7:52am: Thanks AD. I can't say I've tried that tuning but I could see where it would be great. I certainly love this ADGB tuning. So versatile.
