Bro! I was looking and looking for my scale and here it is. Justin showed the trick but you made it possible before me to understand. I started by learning the key and then used a capo until I found the right barr to dig into and it made my playing amazing. I'll have to build several with this in mind. Now it all makes sense. Connected the dots, lol
That is encouraging stuff. There seems to be no end to your talent! I might never get it, but I’ll keep trying. But I’ve never been completely worthless!! I’ve always been good for a bad example 🤠
Well done Del! As always I'm holding my breath, and anticipating the; "sound" of the next note! A novel idea on a 24-inch fretless scale! Take care all!
Man. I have some catching up to do. I think I’ll be binge-watching your videos this weekend. This one really measures up, by the way. Maybe perform something by the Yardstick Birds?
how do you tune these strings? I really like this approach to playing. I have some difficulties w musical theory so having a visual way to interperate the scale is a game changer. please share the tuning of each string
Okay. So I understand that you put the only 3 frets at the first 3 harmonics. 24/2, 24/3 & 24/4. 12", 8" & 6". What I don't understand is why. Why frets at only those 3 spots and not other harmonics? Or why not fretless? You didn't explain the advantage of having those, and just those 3 specific frets. Could you explain? Thanks.
Puckett Cigar Box Guitar The 3 & 4 String Cigar Box Guitars were kinda fun but let's take it to the next level. If we make a 5 String Cigar Box Guitar tuned to Open G (GDGBD) then you'll be playing just like Keith Richards on a Cigar Box Guitar.
Add a fourth string and you would run into the Comma of Pythagoras with those frets. Once you cross the Comma of Pythagoras and as you go higher, notes begin to sound like a little girl with a sore throat. It's another reason why you have your bridge at an angle... and another argument for the even tempered scale.
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar No, a Wolf note is just one sour note generally on a bowed instrument with a long amount of string on the other side of the bridge. The Comma of Pythagoras occurs because the ratio system can never be totally accurate and is generally good for just over two octaves.
So what would happen if you put at fret at every inch marker? Oh, then ran the fret board right up to the bridge................. If you don't do it, I just might ;)
My old vocal music teacher Vito E Mason used to say "duple is human but triple is divine ". You're making those halves and doubles sound pretty divine too! Is that a fixed bridge and if not do you change the angle to refine the tuning?
This is the information that always puzzles me. Thanks.
Great video, I think this is going to be my first build, all acoustic, no electronics 👍.
Good stuff! Thank you!!

Del, I'm finally done. Just tweaking now but so awesome and it pulls from my old but obsolete 6 string skills.
Definently the first guitar I'll make. Sounds great. Cool toys
Del is a genius
Well done Del! I’m appreciate what you are doing with these videos.
That is encouraging stuff. There seems to be no end to your talent!
I might never get it, but I’ll keep trying.
But I’ve never been completely worthless!!
I’ve always been good for a bad example 🤠
Can I steal that line ???
Absolutely my friend! I probably stole it anyhow 🤠

Thanks for sharing this. 24 inches I the lengthscale of Fender Jaguar and even Mustang if my memory is not wrong.
Nice, makes sense.
That's awesome Del, I can't wait to try it

Fascinating

i’m just experimenting and having fun figuring things out

Great informative video! Outstanding as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Is that similar to the wolf note ?

Great Idea, sounds good. The only time inches work better than metric. Take care from Oz.
very cool!!!! would a 24" scale work with a cool 9x12 cigar box i have? what size would be best? thanku
My head exploded. Great video
My Trump video yesterday also caused many heads to explode...
Well maybe they will stay home on Election Day
Very cool Professor Del
Cool stuff Del!

Question: since you done two string didley bow about design it so it be played with bow like the monogolian two string horsehead fiddle
why bother with the few frets you have there at all? I don't think they give you anything special. Nice build.
Awesome video. Dang RUclips stuck a Biden ad in your video through.
Oh. Shawn James has a song out called Haunted. It has some awesome slide in it that reminded me of you.
Me: Del what key are you playing in?
Del: 7 and 7/8
Me: oh, 200 mm.
Thanks Del for another interesting video.
Oh hello! Indeed
