Take It Easy - Daddy Long Les on the Cigar Box Guitar

The Eagles classic - not the best of camera angles and a few minor fluffs but you'll get the idea I'm sure.

I'm using my Chicken Bone John Cigar Box Guitar unplugged.

Tuning is GDG same key as original (G major).

This is really great stuff. I'm inspired to fret my next cigar box guitar diatonically, I own a dulcimer but never even thought to make a diatonic CBG. Awesome playing!

@spiritsword88 Thank you for your kind comments! Yes the diatonic fretboard is both limiting and surprising at the same time - makes you think "outside the box".

Love it Mr Long Legs, BTW what is the fretting on this CBG?

Thank You! The CBG is fretted diatonically, like a dulcimer.

Les, I feel like I'm 16 again and hearing this song for the first time! Fine job - it has the tone of a dulcimer, but you play it with the technique of a guitar.
