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.

    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.

    '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.

    • @CBGuitars

      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.

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!
