Rollin n Tumblin blues on a cigar box guitar

A snippet of "Rollin 'n Tumblin" played on one of my hand made cigar box guitars. Run through an amp with a bit of reverb and overdrive they sound pretty cool.

dude, respects to you coz i just built my first cbg 4 string. been playing for years on factory builds.

but dude, why the dodge? how much money can you hope to make posin' as an ol' bluesman and not giving the knowledge up for free ?

if the new currency is the same as the old currency what hope is there?

@journey46 Bruce thanks for the comment but "why the dodge" - sorry you lost me there. Not trying to make any money just showing what can be done with a box a stick and strings, trying to entertain and inspire others to have a go at expressing their creativity too. As for giving it up for free - you'll see I have put several vids on here about tuning etc to help others and I also have a blog about cbgs which are entirely free of course.

how does it have such a big sound

[smojomusic]

You can do a lot with the amp settings.

What do you use for a pickup?

[smojomusic]

A piezo ceramic disk. Some guys rip them out of buzzers but mine are just disks.
