Playing cbg p1

Something that should have gotten posted years ago but didn't....

Playing Cigar Box Guitar - Part 1

Most folk, blues, gospel, and rock & roll songs are played in the common keys of C A G E D. They are all relative to each other. Each has a Major Scale that contains 8 notes (octave) A popular approach is to tune to the key of G. 1-G 2-A 3-B 4-C 5-D 6-E 7-F# 8-G

Here are 4 suggested tunings:

GDG / DGB / GDGB / DGBD

Here is an example of GDG tuning. Notice notes 151 from the G Major Scale are used to create this tuning. Use string strings: A (.045) D (.035) G (.026)
