Even though I've been playing for years, this is one of the best videos on playing a string instrument that I've seen on You Tube, Thank you for posting. 🤠
I learned two things. First, I learned that I should have watched this 50 years ago. Secondly I discovered by looking at the hat that you work the night shift downtown.
YOU HAVE SHOWN ME A LITTLE BIT MORE THAT I EVER KNEW . WELL DONE .
This is THE BEST EVER intro lesson for a 3 string CBG. 👍👏😎❤😎👏👍
Thanks man,I’m a 13 year old who has been meaning to learn the way of the blues for a while.thanks for making that dream a reality
You re a good teacher Dell. Simple and clear With a positive attitude ! Super!🙏
This is the video I've been looking for! I am an ultra ultra beginner, I know nothing about cords, guitar. I need more videos like this and where to put your fingers.
Same. 🙏💙🎵🎶🙄
I just sold a guitar and sent the newbie the link to this video so he can start on the right foot, er right finger(s). Great beginner lesson, bro!
I,m not a beginner but still enjoyed yr vid ,couple of bits I didn,t know.thanx
Glad you enjoyed it
what id love to see a video of is which fingers you use as you go through scales
I am infinitely thankful for how much effort you put towards explaining things for someone like me who is a complete novice.
18:55 I'm totally ready for a change in life! Thank you sir 🙏❤
Edward says rock on!! Thanks Del, he watched every second..
New to this instrument, so thanks!
@62 with 45 years on bass and guitar I appreciate the "simple answers" so thank you.
This video is sooooooo good. I have THE most beautiful cigar box guitar but never really tried it as always too busy practicing 6 string guitar and piano. Now the pubs have opened up outside again, I learned to play one song. Not sure if anyone listened to my song but they loved the instrument.
In 20 minutes, you got me further than any other youtube tutorial has in the few years I've had my CBG. I've been very frustrated about my lack of progress and my inability to get a good clean sound out of my instrument. And as a result, I haven't played it very much. After you mentioned changing the tuning, I did that and it made a WORLD of difference. Suddenly, everything on the left hand was exponentially easier and I was able to just hear chords to several songs just by messing about. So cool! Thank you so much for making such a clear and helpful video. You've brought me and my CBG back together.
Nice geetars! I teach kids Projects Lab Woodshop and I've taught nearly 200 7 & 8 yr olds to build box guitars. It took all year but each of 24 students in a class finished a Shoobee box guitar.
Awesome video!! I really appreciate the time you take to help all but especially the newbies!! YOU ROCK!!
Man I wanna thank you for breaking down some of the basics. Like finger placement behind the fret. I hope you continue to do this kind of series. It has helped ally and has given much encouragement.
Liked and saved in a new playlist "Cigar Box Guitar". Im hoping to build a couple in the summer with my brother and having a few cigar boxes on the ground as a stomp box and snare. Looking forward to many more lessons! I appreciate you putting the time and energy into this! Thanks!
As an uber-beginner, this single video has already taught me so much ! I really enjoyed building my first CBG, then thought "OK. What now ?"
This has answered that question, and encouraged me to continue discovering this wonderful instrument !
Today I make a order to build my cigar box. I'm like you, thinking "and now?"
Fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to make this helpful video.
I'm a shop teacher and I'm building this instrument with my Yr9 class....With a bit of help from these vids I don't think I've seen a class be more invested in getting a project together. Big thank you for some amazing content...Future cigar box guitar enthusiasts one class at a time!!! Big thanks....
dang dude ?!?!? serious ?? :-)
Thanks for the videos of instructions. I'm turning 54 soon and always wanted a three string. Learn how to play. Just something to do some porch pickin. It's a bucket list thing. Y'all have a blessed day.
been working on making cbg for christmas this year but got sick. am better now i'm sorta glad i had to wait because i got a lot out of your n5 videos. thanks
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing with us!
So incredibly talented... knowledgable.... i just came across you by accident... i have been playing ukulele for 4 0r 5 years.... i think i can build one of these and i will be pickin and grinnin... in no time!!! Thank you!!!
Really enjoying your videos. I am going to have a go a building my own 3 string guitar with my dad. Inspirational stuff - Keep it up.
I just ordered my first cigar box electric guitar and I can't wait to get started!
Thank you! I was a real newbie. This was exactly what I needed.
Just got mine blues box guitar and you man know how to teach straight to the point love your vibe subscribe and thumbs up 👍
Great video. Just bought a kit from Gitty and needed a place to start. I Subbed and saved this video for future watching. Over and over and over. Thanks for what you do.
"hot rod" is the perfect definition for this instrument, I gave up on playing cuz I had an injury and broke 4 fingers but you inspired me, I want to play again and I wanna building my own ! bless you bless you 🤗🤗🤗
Me too! Good luck to us both I am going to watch a lot of videos and get a simple kit to start.
Hey … thanks for creating this informative video. I had never heard of a cigar box guitar until a few minutes ago. As I was watching I couldn’t help but think about an instrument my wife has called a mountain dulcimer. It has 3 strings too and most of the players in her group tune it to DAD.
This was a great video! As a very beginner who has never touched a guitar, this was perfect for me. Thank you!
Dell, great builder videos, even greatr player vids for those of us who wanna bee players, nice rounded out vids, build plus how too play, keep it going!!!!
Thank you , you do make it look easy!!
Very cool, thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for this can’t wait to use!
Del, Thanks for you sharing. Just recently retired and going to try my hand at making and playing CBG's. Fascinating hobby. Never made one, never played one. Also, love it that you are not afraid to share your faith...
This is excellent. I am hoping to pick-up a 3 string guitar either as a Christmas gift or for myself after Christmas. I am a total noob (love guitar, but don't play yet) so this was perfect!
Great beginner/refresher course Del.
Great stuff. 2021 is the year I build one (or more) :D
Perfect beginning for my son and me to build and play together.
that is too cool for school! can't wait to get started, really enjoy these videos, thanks man!
blessings mate
I'm a complete novice in music. I only recently heard of cbg's. And figured 3 strings is easier than more. Thank you! Youre video helped me understand a lot more. My cbg is a fretless hinkler. Again thank you.
Thank you so much Mr. Puckett.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ✌🤠👍
Very cool first lesson, I think I sound better already which isn’t saying much because I was just making noise before but now I’m actually using the slide correctly and it doesn’t sound bad so thank you! Can’t wait to afford an amp but I’m waiting to get a bit better before then lol
Thank You❤ from Finland.I just got my first CBG today and this video was totally what I was looking for.Inspiring with lots of humour..like CBG guitar playing should be..as I understood anything from this lesson😅😂
Love your lessons, videos on building your next, Great job Del
thanks John !! glad to hear that 😎
Picked up a guitar some time ago, and that left me all sweaty bending my fingers every which way over those six strings. Then I found out about cbg's and immediately build one myself. It ain't perfect, but man I am having fun with that thing! Thanks for your enthusiasm and your great vids, Inspiring!
Thank you and your welcome 😎
Mad respect, and thank you.
Great Lesson!
Nice and slow plus easy to understand teaching at its best thanks.
Thank you Brick
“There are no rulz.” I’m in
Hell yeah brother. They call me ol' Hook Eyes Moses. I bought my cigar box git-tar from a man called Salty Dog down in Melbourne, Australia, who made it himself all custom like.
I love the blues and was inspired by the old grass roots Blues singers of the Great Depression and Seasick Steve, makin' themselves instruments from whatever they can find. I'm also thinking about buyin' a Didly Bo.
I'll be sure to watch the rest of your vidyas so I can learn how to play this sucker.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Great job Del, you really bring folks into the fold 🎼🎸👍
Walt Davis Heheheee Thanks Walt
Hey Del, what this guy said x 10
Very useful, tysm
Great! Thx!
brilliant lesson man
thank you soo much, i just started playing and found myself frustrated and defeated. then i found your youtube videos and found myself laughing and having fun. on this video i relized i was putting my finger dead center between the frets ,so i changed it to the way you explained and got that aha moment! thank you for looking back and stopping to help those of us who love our 3 strings , but havent quite got it yet.1and2and3and4 thanks for keeping it real
Thanks for the video... great information. Enjoyed it! Thumbs Up!
Thank you kindly sir
I started watching Dell thinking I was watching someone do something I could never do. A bit like people watching dancers. But I think I might be able to do a little of this. I don’t think I have any timing, rhythm or musicality of any kind. But you never know, I might.
I will provably have to leave home first tho..
There was a movie called Rattatooie about a Rat who could cook ... his main catch phrase was something he learned from a book from his inspirational mentor. “anyone can cook”. Well, same thing here.... With these instruments “ANYONE CAN PLAY!!!!!” 😜
Thank you so much for this! Gives me the confidence to get started... at 49! No rules, have fun, just follow some basics. Yep, that's me.
Now that is how you give a lesson 👍
Hey Dell coma, I really like your videos. Also, I dig that red hat.
Hey Dale, thank you for the wealth of knowledge and great videos. I recently put together my first kit from CBGitty, I slightly modified it, screwed something's up, and made others better, and using a small Castle Hall cigar box it gave it a medieval sound in DAD. But I was wondering how to go about purchasing one of your creations. Thanks again, take care.
FABULOUS
Love the RedHat red hat!
I had watched a few of your previous video's and they were okay (borderline snobbish in my opinion). But this video, was really down to earth and sincere. If you can do some more videos like this I think it would be an awesome thing, I'd watch them. Keep up the great work.
I am a self proclaimed CBG snob... I make no apologies... I have no regrets ... 😀
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar
I've got the snob hoppin' blues. From my red fedora to my wingtip shoes. I've got this song for youz, I'm a payin' my dues. Iv'e got the snob hoppin blues.
I will be here all week, and don't forget to tip your waitress.
Loved your lesson more please
Trying to keep it simple
Even a lesson on your your blues demo. Would be awesome x
Good info
Superb Del, you just saved me 20 mins with someone who I'm giving his first CBG today! Shared already :))
Thank you Dennis !!! Appreciate the support mate !!
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar It's a pleasure. Your channel & CBN are my knowledge base :)
Thank you
Is there a video tutorial for that blues tune you played at the end of this video? Sounded great.
Awesome
Nice job
COOL... Thanks Dell :-)
over the past 4 decades I've tried to learn how to play guitar 3 times, each time spending a lot of time with little success and a lot of frustration. does my brain not sync both hands? anyway, this lesson was great. I've built my 1st cbg thanks to you Del and it's got some great tone unplugged.
this time @ 59, I am happily at it again.
Hope you turn this vid into a series!
Always learning... always growing... always expanding!!! In the beginning.... BOOM!!! 😜. Good luck buddy
Sounds like my life.
OOOHHH MMYYY GAWSSHHH .... super video here.. thank you thank you thank you
your "you got to have fun" hits it right on the nail, for complete beginner those bit you put in 0795 etc, may seem too basic for someone like you but for me i was twanging away sounding like i was playing music, could you do some more like that but a bit slower with cord progression and simple strums, maybe put a simple turn around or riff that could be used when we have the hang of the basic part. but great stuff many thanks
great advice !! Will do !! :-) Thanks
@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar watching that i thought, he could do a beginner, sound like you have played for years in 10 minutes, sort of video, for people who never played anything, and no music knowledge, skip the how to understand the instilment, just very basic, ok hold these 3 strings here for 3 strums, then move it here for 3 strums etc, you did it in this video, sounds like your playing music, but not eaaly, oftern done in harmonica teaching. thanks
Honestly just found you yesterday, RUclips algorithms...WTH anyway great content your channel rocks it. Fun to play but, even more fun to build. I'm stuck on shovels.....take a string, a shovel and an angle grinder and have at her. Seriously though your build videos and this lesson vid is top notch. Here in Canada the days are short and cold and the nights are longer and colder, a little spirits and some home made music... nothing like it, warms the heart and soul. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Due North I’m just below you in Portland Oregon... welcome aboard 😀
Cheers....
Super teaching, info video
Thank you Johan
EFFFING AWESOME!
Just found you! Who would have thought lockdown could be this much fun! 🤔👍🏽🤪😄
Which of your vids would be a beginner build to go with this playing vid?
Thanks, keep it up, Old Bones
awesome
I like your attitude
Great theacher thanks 👍 nice shirt 😎
Gitty Gitty bang bang!!
great from france
Exactly what I want out of a "How-to" video.
Great lesson Del! One question, for a complete beginner what would be the best use of time to start improving? Cheers
Thanks for the great video! Can you recommend a decent cigar box guitar for a beginner? I looked on eBay, but there are so many choices, and I can't tell what is good and what is not.
I'm trying to decide whether to learn this or merlin
A couple days ago I bought a vintage handmade guitar. No one knows what its supposed to be exactly and it only has 3 strings on it. I thought it was a dulcimer guitar but now im thing its a box guitar of some sort. Its hard to learn to play an instrument when no one knows what it is 😅
When you said before there are no rules I felt a relief. I decided to string my cbg with .56 .46 and .34 then tuned it to DAD and it's sounds low and crunchy. Any other low tunings would you know of? Thank you for what you do, I am so excited to create some doomy blues riffs.
AEA
Del, your beard is getting longer. Thanks for the check for the furnace filter.
Hi Del, great video, thanks. what would the length be from nut to bridge on the CBG that your using.
it’s probably a 23 inch scale...
building my first now, based on your start to finish. But if you tune to EBE can we use a GDG song book to learn from? and thanks for your videos!!! good stuff
yes… same chord shapes … just lower key
Hello, I have a question for you, why don't you teach us some songs in open G , but with the D-G-B configuration. Thanks and God bless you.
After watching many, many videos of yours i notice on many of your CBG's that the bridge is not straight angled towards the high G string. Is there a reason for this?
