Reason #6: E minor pentatonic (guitar) licks with the open bottom E(drone)…think SRV.
Love the string trees behind the nut on your axe.
Tuned mine down and having fun
Makes sense to me... will give it a try!
I THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME WHAT THE STRINGS ARE ON THE THREE STRING GUITAR , YOUR OK IN MY BOOKS , MANY THANKS.
Thanks for the tips! Also, love the clear guitar case. It's helpful to be able to see the inner workings of a guitar.
That's it! I see a lot of people spreading the idea of "cigar box guitar is just what you want it to be", but in practice instead they keep stucked on the GDG. It's important to know and try some tradicional stuff, but even more important is to try to bring up criativity and further self opinion.
Thnx for the video Mr Puckett!
The profoundness of simplicity . Thank you.
Superhuman restraint! You didn't even resort to my go-to..."because I want to!" Hope those fires aren't a threat!
You had me with #1 😅
Great lesson! Thanks.
love the kit
Love the low down !
Fantastic!!
WOW, you just convinced me with the first two reasons! The other ones were bonus
Always tune mine this way👍
Awesome explanation! Makes a lot more sense. Thanks for sharing. Cheers~🔥🤘🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Del. It opens a new world playing for me. Other thn jusf GDg.
All makes perfect sense
I tuned down to E B E and love it - the tone is much better. Also I can play very easily in my favourite keys: E G A C D. Further it is kinder on my delicate fingers! Thank you.
Hay really enjoyed watching your show have started a cbg myself had a crazy idea. Build a duel neck cbg just because you can and you could have two different keys of tunning
Been missing your videos. Anyway, I may retune one of my cigar box guitars and give the EBE a try.
I do it to Jam with Guitar players or Harmonica in certain keys. Noodling on a gitty is fun.
Same reason I am DAD, learned on dulcimer. Hybrid is awesome fretless! Thanks brother 🤠
That is awesome!
Love that build. Did you build that?
Del you are starting to win me over to EBE. Every time I hear you say it though I think of the X-Files. EBE Extraterrestrial Biological Entity. Mulder and Scully rule! lol
Excellent video. As a mediocre guitar player, keeping the E, B, E notes makes a lot of sense. 👍
I agree. My next build will be even lower. Going to try Shane Speal's baritone drop C for my next build. I love guitars that growl.
A Guy at Pike Place Market, Seattle builds preorders part's. Nothing handcrafted. It hit him up because I build guitar necks and custom Headstock's. When I talked to the guy that doesn't build shit, he said, on the phone, " Good luck with that". He sells, preordered Cigar Box Guitar bullshit, at Pike place market, Seattle for 450-650 a guitar that he didn't have a clue about how to make! What's up, freinds?
Check out " Soul Cat" guitar's at Pike Place Market in Seattle. That guy is a tourist trap fraud! 450-650 for an" asian kit" cigar box guitar. My guitar necks and Headstock's are handmade. The Headstock's, that I make are inspired by the greatest guitarists and bass player's that ever picked a string. Fuckin, please!
I have GDg and an EBg cbgs, some rock'n'roll tunes favor GDg and others favor EBe... (that's why you need more than one cbg!!)
😎👍🏼
HAHAHA! You're hilarious! And your videos are great!! Where can one purchase that guitar?
that’s my personal instrument
Very good tips! But, I'll need adjust the neck when change the tune?
not sure what you mean?
Hey Del, could you provide a little more info about why you prefer the ADG strings when tuning to EBE rather than the E, A, and D strings? Gonna go with EBE on the current build, just trying to understand the string selection. I assume your approach results in lower string tension than if I go with heavier strings, but are there other reasons you like the ADG strings?
btw ty 4 the videos
😎
I'm looking into making a build, and after seeing this video, I've gotten some ideas.
Particularly, I'm thinking of building a 4 string and tuning it to AEBE.
Static- X, "Push it!".
Please, watch, on RUclips all of the Static-X songs and videos. It will open up your mind ..
AEBE? Why?
@@keithwilkinson5707 After a few months of using this tuning, I've noticed it makes major/minor chords and their respective sevenths easy to play. However, I initially considered AEBE due to having two full rows of single-finger bar power chords, plus one extra row that uses a normal power chord shape.
Del, you had me at each reason. I wish I had used EBE tuning when I first started this crazy hobby. Now I have to erase everything in my mind and re-tune my CBG's. Well, I may leave a couple at GDG.
GDG is good for slide when you need the string to be “tight” … you can really dig in 😀
Is it easier to barre? I find G D G very difficult with 42 34 24 strings
if im playing by myself i just tune the the low string as low as i can and still sound good . then keep 1 5 1 tuning. so far sounds good if i fallow ebe tabs or gdg tabs. as long as its 1 5 1 it works. and also keeping it tuned low it keeps the neck from bowing so quick. since i have no truss rod
i commented before watching the whole video
you’re exactly right!!!!
I'm really curious about that screw you've got above the last fret. Are those two screw eyes you've got holding it in? What's the purpose of that? I've got a cbg that only has that last fret, and I keep thinking I need something between the last fret and the tuning pegs.
it keeps downward tension on the zero fret… which keeps the strings in place when you bend AND increases the sustain overall. a must have in my opinion unless you have a scarf joint then not necessarily necessary 😎
Del which pedals type do you advise with EBE or GDG? Like blues overdrive and delay or reverb ?
whatever makes you smile the biggest 😃
Ok. I have a song request. " Push it." From the band, "Static-X". Please?
Just a question about this tune E, what is the best scale for a 3 strings cigar box guitar? Thx !
there is no best scale … it’s always going to be what’s best for you 👍🏽😎
Cool!! Are you building new ones yet?
What are you using as fret markers on this cbg?
buttons … tiny buttons
can still use the finger positions from the GDG tuning?
absolutely
Do you always use a zero fret or do you use bone nuts too?
zero fret is my preference
Just a curious question. Why are your fretting fingers blackened from playing?
tarnish perhaps 🤔
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar Tarnish from....frets?? Does that happen to all guitar players fingers? I'm new to this.
@@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465 yes, as strings age, they tarnish and your fingertips get black. Fear not, it washes off and with a little extra care you can minimize it somewhat
Del… which gauge strings for this EBE so you use please ?
light guage ADG acoustic strings
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar thank you Del… they sound so great and Deep… I’ll try it . Much appreciated
What string guages do you like?
ADG strings
What scale length are you using here?
probably a 25 inch
So, the EBE tuning sounds like the tuning, for that Nirvana song, "Smell's like teen spirit".
I've tried, brakes stringZ,, going from gdg,to ,ebe,, like though
keep trying!! keep jamming!!!
GDG EVERY TIME FOR CBG EBE just confuses it all over again.
tuned a guitar to EBEBE, took the 6th string off.
Yah. It's Dell.
Hey Kenn!!! 😎
You tune in E because that's where you can sing it. If you can't sing in E there is no reason to do it period.
good point… but…can you tuna fish ??
...or,you can buy a cbg that is already tuned to E B E
you do have options 😎
