Playin cbg p2

This is an old post. Aparently it was notes taken from someone  I had met on facebook at the time as with the previous post about cigar box guitars.

Playing Cigar Box Guitar - Part 2
I find GDG /151 tuning good for single note work, double stops, walking bass lines, shuffle rhythms, alternating bass, and bottleneck slide. It leads to an early rural country blues Delta tone. Although you can certainly strum chords, the string intervals of this tuning are not the best for creating a consistent Moveable Chord Method.
Using GDG, I can easily retune to ADF#. Not only changing the string intervals, but the key too. From G to D. This tuning creates an opportunity to play chords very similar to the method used on a standard 6 string guitar. Here is one example of how I utilize it: http://youtu.be/DAlIUpR12LY
