  • Would REALLY like to have tabs to this....maybe you could include it with your new lesson 5 CD?

  • @redhawk73439 Thank you for your interest and request. CD 5 is almost complete. The last two lessons are: How to play Freight Train (taking 4 string CBG to 6 string guitar) and the Licks of Robert Johnson in Open G. Possibly in the future, I will tab this song and make it available. Sorry for any inconvenience, but there is too much to do lately. Enjoy.

  • loved it, 5 stars :)

  • @MrMatchuw Thank you for your comment and generous rating. Enjoy.

  • whats the tuning on that thing

  • Thank you for your question. I am tuned Cfac from low to high. I usually have the tuning information on the right side of the video. Happy Holidays. Enjoy.

  • Thank you for your comment. Yes, I like your Chicago style. Tune that baby up to Open E, put a slide on your finger and play some good old Elmore James. Enjoy.

  • Hi Kenni.

    you play one of the best blues.

    I love it, but i can do it.

    I Start to play guitar 3 years ago.

    5 stars

  • Thank you for the kind compliment. Have you been to Cigar Box Nation? There you will find everything you need to know about building CBG. You can certainly build a CBMandolin and tune it any way you like. Enjoy.

  • This is one of the best Muddy Waters covers I've ever heard. And the very idea of a resonator cigar-box guitar is so awesome, I think I'll just have to build one myself. (Do you think it'd play well tuned to GDAE? I'm primarily a mandolin player.)
