Love Shane's raga scale !! I took guitar lessons as a kid in the '60's but my teacher had no interest in rock'n'roll so I quit (I hated those Mel Bay instruction books). In the mid 2,000's I came across Shane and thought "whoaaaa, that's the ticket!" Now I build'em, I give'em away, I sell'em AND I play rock'n'roll!!
Thank you Blues Boy jag for my first guitar ( it turns 5 in March 2024) it sounds so good acoustically and I never hardly plug in but it's burning hot single coils stand up and take names when I do,,I thank you forever💜🔥

Hi Michael, I'm not an instrument builder myself. I'm just a filmmaker who found the subject interesting. There is a lot of information online. Here are some places to start: cigarboxnation.com/ www.shanespeal.com/ www.cbgitty.com/
also suitcase basses, cookie tin banjos, hubcap dobros, toolbox dulcimers, pie tin dulcitars, beer can strumsticks, calabash mandolins, and hand gun case violins
The narrator is actually Dr. Bill Foster of Florence, Alabama. The documentary was prepared for broadcast on Alabama Public Television and many people here in Alabama knew Bill through his music. www.timesdaily.com/archives/bill-foster-renowned-actor-musician-and-teacher-dies/article_595bc799-abaa-5027-9f27-a084e3ba0710.html
Thank you ,an excellent view into the world of the Cigar Box Guitar.
I love the slide guitar sound of the cigar box guitars. I want to try it myself.
Hope you have
Don't forget Seasick Steve as a bad ass example of the possibilities.
Awesome he's a legend already . Along with Del Puckett along with Michael Southern Fire Guitars all awesome builders .Now I build .

Sorr but LrdBaden Powell started the boy scouts in August 1907.
What year was this shot?
2007
Does anyone know where i could get the full song Gerry Thompson sings. "Slap me mommy"
I know it was on a CD, but now that Gerry has passed away I'm not sure how one would get a copy of the CD.
@@MaxShores Thanks for the response, i have always liked it and never been able to find it.
SHANE IS THE MAN IN CBG...
How did get they get Hank Hill to narrate this documentary??
