Dale if anyone wants to play music it's not just cord progesterone you still have to be able to feel the music not to say your not right it's about how it makes you feel the better the it seems the better you play but I play by ear 👂 and that's what I have always told young people who asked me how I play guitar so well the other side of that is the more you play with instrument and the more you become familiar with it the more you will understand about the machine you are dealing with thanks Bud for what you do keep inspiring
So true about the intimidation factor. I feel like I’m “in charge” of how I learn to play and want to make up my own rules about playing (to some extent). Thanks for the validation and especially for the lesson.
I thank you and appreciate you. I have poor vision but you give me great joy and teaching. I hope to gather some crumbs from the master's table. Thanks again and God bless you!
I experimenting with different tunings, right now i'm really digging GCE, sounds so beautiful
Absolutely awesome, brethren!!! I agree with so much of what ye said there. I'm a percussionist by nature, and as much as I've wanted to play I've always found "standard" guitar just didn't agree with me. CBG definitely hits that sweet spot, though! So glad I discovered it, and not long ago, either. And yes, building is ADDICTING!!! (And necessary!) Very nicely presented, I'ma move straight on the next in your series now!
You rock as a teacher.Carry on.
That's how we do it !! God wished I had a box like that , try to make two so far , but I'm really hard to please my self I put so much of my self into building not just guitar's but but everything , if it is not perfect I will smash them up & start over , done that two times with cigar box guitar, so then I bought one at guitar center POS but I'm taking it apart & adding some bracing to it !! Thanks I have learned Lot's from your vids I click with you , your not a show boat , you just have the real guitar love !! _____ KEEP ON TRUCKING !!!!!
So very valuable to new players (like me).
Beautiful cbg, very nice video! Thanks!
Happy Easter Del! cool vid as usual!
Loved it - very helpful!
Thanks Del, keep the lessons coming.
Your the man! 👍 I have built 2 CBG and 2 CBG Basses. Your right.
You look like Seasick Steve ;) Nice video with great energy!
Great video thanks
Thanks for the intonation tip, mine was slightly off.
When ever you speak.. I'm all ears 😎🎼👍
Im totally gonna build a CBG in the very near future!
awesome
As always....your videos are just what i was looking for....
BUT....
10,000 hours ?
Damn dude.....
I don't know if i am even going to live 10,000 hours !
O.K> .....
I'll give it a goodgo !
Awesome video... I've built two and am in Love!!
I love the 7 fret neck... do you make and sell those? The two I built used premade Gitty necks (20 frets I think).
I'd also like more info about intonation and tuning techniques you mentioned.
keep watching my videos… i cover all in information in multiple videos
Hi Del, something you did in the video reminded me of Seasons of Wither by Aerosmith. Could you please do a lesson on that song. Thank you so for all of your lessons and help. Steve
Great song... great album
The 10000 hour rule should always be taken in it's proper context. It refers, like puckett said, specifically to MASTERY, in the specific sense of the word. The study that produced this rule was done on people at the top of highly competitive, easily ranked fields, like chess players and business executives. There is also the 21 hour rule, which states that if you set aside half an hour to fourty five minutes a day, you can become proficient at something in about a month. Pick up a guitar and some good learning materials, and with this method, within a month or two you will be able to play most #1 hits over the last several decades, or any song that utilizes the "big four" chords. That may not be the type of music people in to cigar box guitars are in to, but the same idea applies.
nice video and nice guitar! :-) is there a reason you did not include the six and eight fret for the blues scale?
Eric Eckmann no reason.... This was just an experiment . I'll build one with those additional frets for sure. I also want to build a major pentatonic guitar ...
What's your cigar guitar tuned too?
What is the scale length?
I love this instrument and would love to put one together myself but I have no carpentry skills whatsoever. Is it possible to buy the parts and put them together yourself without using a saw?
Honestly I prefer to get one of yours they look so cool. Hopefully you have a kit that would make it easy for a guy like me to put one together at home.
Hey, 2 years on, but have you ever gotten around to putting ones or 10 together?
If not check out some kits online, I know CB Gitty makes lots of kits that are more of a glue together and sand project. No cutting required!
Hey, man, I'm just getting into building these things and I'm having fun with my first one, with a Cohiba body and license plate resonator. I do havr a question for you if you're game: From the perspective of materials, tuning, scale length,... pretty much all aspects of design, what would you recommend if I'm shooting for a CBG that'll give me more of a bluegrass sound vs. blues? Thanks in advance.
S Brouillette skinny strings!!!
Thanks. Looking at C.B. GITTY string sets. I see sets labeled "Blues" indicating a style of music but other sets labeled "acoustic" or "electric" indicating a type of guitar. Nice to have the sets labeled but the nomenclature seems inconsistent. I keep seeing folks promoting "Open G" G-D-D tuning for CBGs, but most folks are playing them in a blues or rock style. Now, this first build will definitely be that, but for my next build I'm shooting for I guess what you'd call a blend of a dobro/banjo sound.
Correction: Open G... G-D-G tuning. Dumb thumbs... Need more coffee.
S Brouillette I get the heaviest NON WOUND I can find
I bought spools of fishing string for guitars do you have any way to put ball ends ???
jerome grzelak fishing weights!!!
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar Now why did i not think of that ......
the real small ones darn !!
Which frets are those 7?
pentatonic scale - 0 3 5 7 10 12 etc
Getting close on the hours,hardly close to the whole mastery thing,tho.
Ever made or tried a fretless CBG?

🎵 Never once, again, play like you're drinking Brake fluid. 🎶

It really only takes about 20 hours guys

6 strings is 3 too many
You've just put it on UA-cam so it's not a secret anymore, duh.
