I love the three string guitar in it's many forms. It makes music simple. Less is more. '6 strings, is three strings too many', so true.

I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years and I still enjoy this.

dude I'm learning the harmonica and your video still helped me understand my instrument better. Thanks !

excellent instructor i cant believe how much i just learned in a 14.28 video and I've been plucking away for 35 yrs that was just fantastic thank you ...truly

Loved the 12 bars blue lesson. I slowed the video so I could understand what you were teaching. I use to play electric guitar in a college stage band many years ago and your lesson helped me remember what I was taught. Del you rock !

Excellent. You're a good teacher. The amped power chords are the schizzle!

When you said to slur the third, it made a lot of sense to me. I play blues harp and that's exactly what a do on the harmonica. It's very difficult to the get the exact flat 3 when bending on the harp, but it's implied, slid in to, hit, but we get it and when you slur the third, and you get that classic blues sound. Great job on this video. I think you hit on some great points here!

Thank you so much, Puckett. I appreciate all that you have done for us, dear man. I got it! You are a great teacher young man. I'm passing it on with my grandkids in your name through your videos. I appreciate it more than I can say. Blessings...

my first lesson!!!thanks

This lesson is gold!

Awesome looking guitar Adele great job as always. Thank you very much my friend.

This is by far the best example of a 12 bar blues pattern that I have saw that I actually understood. Thanks for the great video!

Thanks so much for a fantastic teaching video which was also a lot of fun to watch. I have built a number of guitar kit guitars, and I have just recently scratch built my first four string cigarbox guitar, and I have learned so much more about playing it from your video, so thanks again from your new subscriber!

Excellent, excellent info. I have no musical/ notational knowledge. I needed this! Thanks!

awesome lesson, thanks

What a great way to start a Sunday morning! Inspiring lesson, thank you, Del.

Just found this one. As usual, it's clear and concise. Thank you Del.

This is so, so good. So concise! So helpful! Thank you!

this has gotten me into playing guitar and its so fun

Been playing guitar for 33 years and I still dig this Also building myself a cigar box guitar now lol

You remind me of Frank Gallagher.....only sober. Great advice. Priceless info for the up & comers.

Great teacher!! What an inspiration.

one of the first lessons i learnt on guitar was the blues, an easy and fun style to play on guitar, enjoyed watching it being played on a three string cigar box, looks like you can get a better feel to the basic blues style

Great lesson

Now I'm starting to get it, thanks...

Great video I play a 6 string guitar and really love the 12 bar blues thanks for sharing!!!

Ace video. Loads of info clearly explained and well demonstrated. Thanks

OUTSTANDING tutorial 😃👍

didn't know i needed one of these till now

Heck I'll use BOTH ears!!!

A big thank from Belgium, excellent lesson for me !!! Awesome :D

Really good explanatory demonstration. Good job!

Thanks for the advice, that was the lessen i'm looking for a long time

I've been learning music theory for like 10 years not intensely but the relationships between different notes in a certain key has never made sense. I dunno if it was how you worded it or what but something just clicked. Many thanks!

Wow what a fantastic lesson thank you!

This video is full of good stuff ! 👍👍👍

Absolutely Awesome

it's just like memorizing names of people when you meet them. yeah, I'm pretty bad at that, Bill.

Del, great video and instruction! Also great build on that cigar box👍🤣😉

What a great video!

Great lesson! I learned so much in less than 15 minutes! Wow!👍😎🎸🎶

Wow dude that's cool!

Dudes an alien. He's tuned to ebe. Extraterrestrial biological entity.

1:50 Tune the 'wiggle' out. lol. Kind of hard getting that wiggle out of the camera.

“If you’re good at anything, get good at tuning your guitar.” I’ve been playing since I was a teenager, When you said that it broke my heart a little, lol

Your really great at explaining this and your able to keep people's attention you should put together an online course where people can watch individual 30 minute videos teaching them everything from beginners through the advanced stages you could charge $5 to $10 per video allowing them to review the video over and over for 6 months before they lose access to watch the video that they bought access to you can do it on a patreon link on KZfaq

Great stuff Del, thanks for sharing.

Great advice Dell - don't let 'em off the hook.

Building a homemade CBG while the virus rages. Wow man, your site is awesome and your tunes are killer. Thanks so much for all you do. Lifetime subscriber now. I would love to hear Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap using 3SG!

Now this is a good video, thanks for posting 👍😁

I just discovered the cigar box guitar last night and cant wait to find one so I can start picking away at it

Nice lesson!

Thanks Dale .i am sure glad these instruments came back from the grave. Drop by some time take a look at my own contribution

Thank you from the deepest woods of Australia . Who cares about the other 3 strings. You have captured the very essence of that 12 string acoustic...I'm always blowing n sucking on my harp. I don't have a blue bone in my body. Forced as a kid to place acoustic slide guitar. Dyslexia to read music. Can whistle and then just do it on the marine band harp. Ukelele...I love the 3 string much better...looking to 3 string a life ring...keeping that marine theme ALIVE

Aaaahh... Thanx man man, that was super helpful...

No you are def blessed

That guitar sounds great. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and sharing with us less capable newbies. The neck looks long, what length scale is it? Please keep em comin!

Thanks for the lessons......kinda like a fully chromatic mtn dulcimer.

good teaching man I love 3 string.

Awesome lesson !!

I don’t follow the numbering system. It’s not based on fret number, how can I relate the numbers to the fret board? Thanks!

Thank you 🎸🇺🇸🎼❤️😊

Puckett you're the best!!!

Thank You💜🤘

Brilliant! 👍

I want that cigar box guitar specifically

Can you use these techniques to play bass?

Play me the blues Del. I love this channel man. If you can read & write with the 26 letters of the English alphabet you can do anything with these 12 notes right? Simple as......cheers Del.

Good lesson Del! Keep them coming. I like your style of play. Thanks for sharing,

👍👍 ☺️

there you gooooo. This is great !! Thank You.

All I can say is WOW!... Ihope one day I can play just a 10th as you play.

Sir, first off you are awesome. I have a question. I have a buddy that is a vet I and I am a fairly skilled carpenter, I am trying to build him a guitar What length is your neck? Can you give advice on what parts to buy? I have a 1993 Macanudo box to start out with

Awwwwsum ! Thanksss

I like three strings because my fingers are too damn fat for six.

What is that plastic box you make those guitars out of for

What do you mean by swing

Awesome 😎

Hey, where is the Eddie Van Halen cigar box tribute? LOL. I'd love to hear it. I play a bit, but a cigar box and Eddie are way beyond my paygrade.

gotta know the notes names and where they live? I didn't know you had to be a KGB agent to learn cigar box.

How far are your strings apart compared to a regular guitar?

You rock! Thx

I want a CBG

Could you please give a lesson on how to play.. " Hey Bo Diddley on the 3 string... gdg ? I cant figure out the chords... Thanks...

Could you rig a regular electric up with 3 strings and do this? Great vid.

I am just getting into CBG. I'm thinking of building one. Your videos are very helpful! Question: I have a magnetic pickup for 6-string, with gain and tone knobs. Would that work with a 3-string CBG? I can re-solder any pin adjustments. Can you offer a suggestion? Thanks, Steve

What are the string gauges for Cigar Box Guitars

Great video but what a sad comment on our society that a fourteen and a half minute educational video is considered extended.

EXCELLENT

well done Del... this time i'm the 2nt one ccommenting you ..:-) ahaha

perfect

Man...I think I should just take guitar lessons..

Love the lesson. You have inspired. How about putting out a chord chart?

Do you also play in open G?

What strings are on yours?

Really NICE Video............................................................ [StvRich]

He s going too let us of the hook

Where did you get this guitar from please

Well, dang. I wish SRV had one of those. He would have never been able to afford a helicopter ride. RIP real player.

❤🧡💚🖤🤠👌✌
