Im waiting for my cigar box guitar to be here tomorrow on FedEx
Thanks now I will know how to tune it and jam on G

Thank you for breaking down the 1/4/5 progression. You'd be amazed at how many teachers dive into using the terminology without context or explanation, making noobies like me feel lost immediately.

I have played uke for years and thought I would splash out on a CBG to make a change. This video is absolutely what I was looking for in a beginners lesson and I am off and running. My missus doesn't even whine at the spend now!! Great job sir.

Thanks! I love the Blues! A big hug straight from the City of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil!

Everybody loves a little southern rock. Being from Memphis I can relate to that. Great stuff !

[Flyingtwiglet]

That’s the best beginner lesson I’ve seen 👍

[MrTodd]

Nice to see a video you can actually learn from !

[classicrider]

Watched this and instantly subscribed then picked up my 3 string! Great and just what I needed, will be watching for more.

Marvellous lesson, and the great smile you have on your face, after you play Michael really is infectious enthusiasm. Sub and like from me . Great video too.

[Phoenixhunter]

Thank you! I needed this! I’m finding lots of videos for fancy riffs and tricks but it’s been hard to find videos for doing this kind of steady rhythm playing. Thank you so much!

Hello from Ireland, I do some blacksmithing work in my spare time .A guy approached me and asked me to make him a branding stamp to mark the cigarbox guitars he makes .I never heard of these instruments before but l'm glad I have now .Great music

Great lesson for such a lovely nachured man. Please keep these videos coming.

Now I know why guitar players are always smiling -- so fun to get (at least something resembling) the sounds here. I bought a "Blues Box Guitar" kit and as soon as I put it together and started playing these tutorials, I got the bug :D

[shellydianenovascotia]

Wow....great tutorial....I bought my 3 string Open G tuning at 60 and have yet to really learn it, but this has got me excited! Thank you so much and keep these fun blues riffs coming....Hello from Nova Scotia !!

[daveyboy]

I'm as new as they come. 71 years old. I have never played a string instrument. (I play the Blues on Harmonica)
You make it look so easy and I am slowly learning. I thank you for what you have taught me here.

[halmartin]

Great lesson. Keep'em coming! Thanks for the vid on scarf joint, built, mine yesterday I'll take it out of the clamps later today & see if I have a neck or firewood. Thanks

[marcd]

Very cool video, Michael, thank you again. This is the second of your videos I've watched today (June 10, 2023). The first was posted from around this same time-frame, it was how to play a swampy sounding blues lick. Great stuff, keep them coming, and I'll be playing catch-up trying to watch more of them as I'm picking up my first CBG tomorrow.
