Hello there from England. Just bought my first CBG and really getting into it. Stopped playing guitar about 20 years ago but this has got back into it. I'm loving your tutorials and this one, in particular, is really helping me to get some good noise going. Thanks a lot.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I'm glad you like it.... happy noise

[@daviddickerson4728]

I love uncle Mark.

[@fokker313]

Uncle Mark, love your approach to lessons and you take your time explaining chord shapes and tricks to the licks. I don't mind donating a few sheckles to help a fellow musician out. Your choice of lessons to teach are outstanding as well, classic songs every rocker should love and know how to play on 6 string as well as 3 string. Keep it up and rock on!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thank you so much

[@liamreidy1175]

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

[@kryptonyc9169]

Awesome ! Thanks Uncle Mark

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

You betcha

[@bobjohnston4325]

Awesome! One of my all time favorite riffs that I've never been able to figure out on a three string. Now I just need to get the electronics to duplicate the sound. Thanks

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Much more to come, and Thanks

[@richgubbin8134]

Keep coming back to this, trying to ease into the advanced.

[@castle5711]

Excellent lesson! Seems pretty adaptable for us slide players...

[@bpgreg]

Hi Mark. Wondering if you can do a beginners lesson on "Drift Away?"

[@phil7310]

How is your amp setup? I have a Roland micro cube. Great videos, thanks

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

In these older videos I used a lot of different amps. That little micro can get you there with a little bit of tweaking. Cheers

[@jwwebster9292]

Can you play Susie Q

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Here's an entire playlist of CCR/Fogarty ua-cam.com/play/PLyMhx3htWgYFSNGk0E53OogG2NNuyma8s.html

[@Ohiopicker2013]

Can you tell me where to get the guitar you are using in this video, and about how much it is? Thanks

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

The guitar is built by Rob Wrobel in Destin Fl. you can find him on FB, Insta and Reverbdotcom. I've bought 3 from him..... these are true pro players instruments. I'm not sure of his pricing as of today.

[@asocialtraveller]

can you teach CDEFGAB on 3 strings ?

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

only with sharps and flats

[@boltonwanderersremembrance903]

can you convert a normal guitar to play like this great video

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I'm not sure; you could tune to open G, cut the E string off, a la Keith Richards, and give it a go..... or just look at a 6 string video or buy a 3 string. Buyer beware: not all 3s are the same and not all 3s play this good, jus sayin'

[@masterofzero7105]

Apm59_UK No you can’t ...unless you pay me money 💰 then I’ll say Yes you can 😜

[@bradschoonmaker9675]

Have you made a Tab for this since you recorded this lesson. I just can't get it right.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

i don't know how to do tabs... I'm sorry

[@RatBikerNotts]

Hi thanks for the great lesson. I can get all of it to sound right except the 12th fret part at the very beginning around the 1:41 mark. Am I supposed to strum all three strings as it looks like your thumb is doing something else to get the different sounds from the 12th fret. Thanks again.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

at 1:55 I talk about hitting all 3 notes ( 12 fret GDg ). Some times I miss and hit just 2. It's pure accident and of course thats what makes things like this fun ( and helps live music breath ) is that you can miss and have it sound good anyway....lol. Thanks

[@ulricheckardt538]

Have you the Tab for this? Couldn’t get it right on the Video. Would like it so much

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

i don't know how to do tabs... I'm sorry

[@ulricheckardt538]

Uncle Mark's Cigar Box Guitar Lessons can you do a lesson for real newbies means slow - real slow please? Like your lesson for Smoke on the Water by deep purple

[@jonathantapp-kj8xv]

My cigar box guitar has 4 strings will it have the same effect?

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

sure it will

[@keithterry2051]

Hey Mark. Your CBG sounds awesome. What type of pickup is that in your guitar? I have a made an acoustic with a piezo pick up. Looking to build an electric next and really like the sound of yours.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I have a Rob Wroble guitar with a Lace matchbook pickup. I use a 50's Valco spec tube amp and a all tube reverb unit and a earthquaker talons OD pedal and a Keeley Echo. Ive found you can mimic this setup using a roland cube using the Classic Rock channel with a little reverb dialed in.... If I was going the cheaper way that is what I would do, Lace pickup and Roland cube. Many thanks for your support.

[@keithterry2051]

Uncle Mark's Cigar Box Guitar Lessons. Thanks. I have the Roland cube. I will look into the Lace matchbook pickup. Great lessons, you pile in so much more than just what notes play. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@blo259]

uncle mark are your strings 042/032/024 light are heavy gage

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I go between 42 34 24 and 42 32 24 I havent settled yet. I would consider them heavy, yes.

[@stephenroberts8361]

can i have the tabs please

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I don't do tabs.... I think you can figure it out, it's really easy

[@crowemichael]

What open key is this?

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

All my videos are in open G GDg

[@normbarrows]

Thats not even CLOSE to the intro. The intro is not power chords.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks mate

[@owade433]

Terrible Tone

[@phoarey]

Great tone.
