In early in 2017, I started gathering all the information I could find to build quality boutique, custom guitars; I didn’t attempt my first build for over 6 months, until I thought I had sufficient knowledge to produce an instrument that felt good, played well, and sounded good. If I couldn’t fill these criteria, I might just as well put a stick in a box.
Since that first build, I’ve tried many different neck, box, pickups, tuner, and fret board configurations.
We call our current neck the P16, because it’s actually made from 16 separate pieces of wood, they are jigged and glued together to produce a very strong attractive through body neck. Our boxes differ from the norm, as we use a variety, cigar box, tea box, jewelry box, the big box; we also make boxes for our number plate guitars, and any customer specials.

You Gotta Have Friends, Buzzy Linhart lesson for 3 string cigar box guitar.
ua-cam.com/video/OmQeFlxmLr4/v-deo.html That’s not the way to play a Cigar Box Guitar.
What’s this? bit.ly/3DeTlsS
Today we have a classic from 1971, Friends, by Buzzy Linhart. I don't know where it finished in the UK charts, but I do recall as a teenager (that was a long time ago) that it was very popular on the radio and juke boxes in various pubs in and around our local area.
I've been trying on and off for almost a month to get this to a point where I was happy to share with you. NOTE it should be played at 200 bpm.

How Not To Play a 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

I've uploaded over 140 lessons on how to play various songs on the 3 string guitar. I'm the first to admit that some of the chord positions on the neck could, and probably should be played in an easier position with less movement up and down the neck. However I do try to show you how an able bodied person should try to play these songs. This short video explains why I play the way I do, and I h...

Thank u
You're more than welcome. 👍
are you indonesian?
I have no idea why you would think that? I was born in the UK "Garden Of England", for you that don't know, that is the county of Kent. But I've lived in Spain for the last 20 years.
@@CBGuitarssorry its just that you have the indonesian flag on the shirt youre wearing
@@TheguyfromDetroit Well, you learn something everyday, I had no idea they are the colours of the Indonesian flag, and there's no need to be sorry, I've been called a lot worse in my 70 years. Thanks for the info.
Great video....what was the neck made from, and how please.... thanks
The neck was made from pine. ua-cam.com/video/CkBq0BLF1D8/v-deo.html
Absolutely loved your attention to detail on this build. Bravo from SW France 👏👏
Thank you, yes I always think it's worth taking the extra time and effort, at the end of the project you will have something to be proud of.
pure genius!!!!really!
Quite a bit of work involved but well worth the effort.
Thanks for sharing,i ll use some of your tips😊
Glad you got something from this video.
Thanks man! I subbed
Thanks for the kind comment.
Great Job👍👍
Thanks for the positive comment. 👍
takes some skill to use that's for sure thanks for the explanation
it's like everything, it's all a matter of personal choice and what you feel comfortable with. If you're comfortable with something then it becomes second nature, then you can concentrate on other aspects of your playing.
MAY I ASK WHAT STRINGS AE YOU USING AS THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME . THANKS LOVE THIS THREE STRING OF YOURS .
Did you watch till the end, practicing trying to slow down to 200 bpm.
Yes, keep em coming 😊😊
Thanks David, it's always nice to have positive comments, and you're the first from 149 views.
WOW 200 Videos! But only 1,375 subscribers, so is it really worth it? 😥
Love this tune,cheers.
Hi Paul, yeh a great song, I don't think it was ever released as a single, but still had lots of air play on the radio, and was a mainstay of their live sets.
Very well played and great guitar sound my friend!!🎸
Thanks for the kind comment Riccardo, I checked out your channel, just wish my fingers moved half as fast and as smooth and quick as yours.
Really enjoyed this 👍
Thanks Andy, surprised myself with this one, only one take, hadn't even looked at the third and forth verses so surprised I managed to get through it. But it did help having those easy chords. Have you listened to the original? It's quite a bit different.
Look out for the Mungo Jerry (lesson) next week.👍
Hope you have some fun with this one.
Great lesson ; I’m struggling to pick the strumming pattern though.
This may sound a little vague, but I'm not really sure what I'm consciously doing. The section at 4:04 might show it a bit clearer..
Hope a Lot of people know this one, and get a lot of fun playing it. Get your kazoo ready for the next Mungo Monday.
I believe the band are still going strong, alas with only one member from the original lineup still standing.
Great lesson. Thanks 👍👍👍🎸
Glad you liked it, it would sound a lot better if you have someone to play along with or some vocal harmonies. 👍
Love it.
Thanks for the kind comment.
Had a lot of fun with this one, but my kazoo playing needs a bit more work.
Yes. Perhaps a slide and do some of that also. Perhaps that would take away from the campiness of the Kazoo.
@@fullpreteristnow Never thought of the kazoo as camp, well it wasn't in the 70s. But I agree a slide in there would work well, if only I could play with one, ha ha.
Thanks for your videos! About 20 years ago I crushed the knuckle in my left index finger. I used to be a 12 guitar player in a band. But, I remembered the CBGs when I was playing on the streets of New Orleans back in the 60s. Some were 1 string Diddlley Bos and some were 3 or 4 strings. I went back to playing a CGB. I can still play 6 string but I can only barre chord because of my left index finger. There is always a way to play a CBG. I am almost 80 now. Anyone who wants to play should try one. There are building a playing classes at the John C. Campbell Folk school.
New Orleans in the 60s, bet those times were great for music. As you say, there's a way around playing the cigar box guitar.
@@CBGuitars You just keep being an inspiration!
@@bartmitcham9697 I've never thought of myself in those terms, but if these videos are helping others on their music journey then I'm happy to be part of it.
Some may find this a little more challenging.
Thanks for all your supportive comments.
Thank you! I can relate and 3 fingers does the trick! Keep on strumming! Bill 😊
I do intend to "keep on strumming" got a bit more life left in me yet.
I too have similar fingers to yours as well, gets worse day by day. I'm still persisting with play chords, but I don't play as long as I use to (probably an hour at most, or till I have to stop) enjoying the lessons, never new Mungo Jerry had so many songs, a new discovery for me at 70yrs old 🎸🤘👍
Age is just a number Frank, and I share yours.
Thanks for sharing! As an occupational therapist, I appreciate modifying how you play so you can keep playing! I just started learning to play several years ago. My fingers are beginning to hurt in my old age. It's time to learn how to play slide CBG so I can keep playing as my fingers get worse!
I have to admit my slide playing is shocking, I really should practice more,
Thanks for the tips. Getting old sucks man my left thumb tendon or what it is called in English hurts like he..... nowadays so any bar chord is a no no. I even play 6 string guitar in open G tuning today but it works ua-cam.com/video/CHzMAS1U538/v-deo.htmlsi=VaUpY4uMIyGiG_oF

Bit of disco this time, but you can ramp this up and make it your own.
outstanding. thanx
Thanks for the kind comment.
great singing voice
Thanks Del, really appreciate the kind comment.
Sorry the vocals are a little low, but I expect most people will know this song. *Don't forget to help the channel with thumbs, likes, comments and shares.*
A small white board with the cords and finger positions would help us. also if you can go over your picking had a couple of times would help too. Thanks for sharing.
I'll see what I can do in future videos.
A softer approach to the powerful song, hope you enjoy. Thumbs, comments, subs very much appreciated.
Wonderful. Thank you.
Glad you liked it.
Simply brilliant love the picking pattern
Glad you liked it. The picking pattern fits well with this song but can also be used on a host of other tunes.
Very quick one today, the chords shouldn't pose any problems. Thumbs, comments, and subs really help the channel.
've had that too. Check the scale of the guitar. The distance from the first fret to the twelfth fret should be the same as the distance from the twelfth fret to the center of the bridge. You can also increase the action a bit. I then went to eat an ice lolly and placed the stick of it under the bridge to increase the action a bit.
No problems there, all my guitars are made that way, with the correct intonation. Think I made this guitar well over two years ago, and this is the first time I've had this problem. At first I thought the heat (32C) may have warped the neck, but this is unlikely, as last year in the van it was well over 40C, so then I thought perhaps a fret may have become raised. Obviously I will do a thorough investigation when I get back to the workshop and rectify properly.
Hopefully I'm back on track to make the next two videos, before I can get home to make a proper more professional repair.
Hi CB, I began using your American Idiot tabs to learn on my cigar box, and I was wondering if you could consider giving The Cranberries 'Zombie' a bash for a later video. I've been looking for a decent cover or tab online, and so far I've only found one that sounds good by ClarkyGuitar on UA-cam, but he doesn't have any tabs to replicate it. I also appreciate your efforts to assist cigar box guitar players. There isn't enough exposure or tabs for this instrument online. So I appreciate it!
*If you wouldn't mind, thumbs, comments, likes and shares all help the channel.*
I hope you can all follow along without distractions from the little blips I had.
