This is my attempt at "Man Of Constant Sorrow" by the Soggy Bottom Boys from the movie on my home made 3 string cigar box guitar plugged into my amp. This is my first cbg but I hope not my last. I intend for the next one to have 4 strings and some improvements over the first one, but all in all I'm very pleased with the sounds I get out of the 3 stringer. Thanks to cigarboxnation.com and Bill Jehle for their support and videos to help through the build. Hopefully move cigar box guitar and ukulele music to come.

  • Must be a box of robustos, Sounds great

  • best cover of constant sorrow on the net. care to share the tuning and chords to teach the rest of us how to play?

  • That is too cool! So looks like you have the strings tuned to a chord and then slide to the one required? Very nice sound out of that thing --- I guess you are using nylon strings?  In any case that is a great song and you did it justice!!

  • I wish my grandpa could play , but NO he spits and curses the God´s whole day long !!!!

  • hahaha cool ima make one

  • Nice Ron! Lots of CBG and other homemade instrument info, pics & vids at HandmadeMusicClubhouse dotcom.

  • Great cover! You can do so much with 3 strings! I also did a cover of this on a 3 string but I made loads of mistakes.

  • Wonderful!

  • I like your instrument. How do you call that? Good Job!
