Thank you for breaking down the 1/4/5 progression. You'd be amazed at how many teachers dive into using the terminology without context or explanation, making noobies like me feel lost immediately.

I have a 3 string fretless, and want to squeeze all the fun out of it that I can, even if it came with a full length slide that I can't maneuver it all that well.

Don't eliminate the rattle from the slide. That's like people over shielding their strats to try to filter out the noise caused by the springs interacting with the pickups. That noise is part of the sound. If you don't like that sound then you've chosen the wrong instrument to make music with.

Hi Michael, great video’s packed with the most useful information and great to watch, thank you. That said, please can you tell me if I have any hope. In the twilight years of my life I find myself thinking of making a three string cigar box guitar but can I learn to play the thing? I know I have the skills to do the work, after 50 odd years of being a carpenter/ joiner/ cabinet maker, and I can see from your vids that you have found great skills yourself. I have a lot of things to find out about but to start, I figured I could start with a fret less neck and once I have the general construction engrained into my brain perhaps with mark two I could go for the full job. I have already ordered a nice cigar box, and in the wood store I have Oak, Mahogany, Ash, etc. I will have to get some tuners, strings, later fret materials, So I am up and running, and thanks to you I think all I need to know. Do you think my first question with practice possible? Thanks again Michael looking forward to any comments you might pass on. Thanks Bob, UK Oxfordshire…
@SouthernFireGuitars
@SouthernFireGuitars 2 жыл бұрын
The only way to know is to give it a shot, You're never to old to learn something new. Fret less ones are easier to build as a starter, but will be harder to learn, because of no frets. Fretted CBG's a pretty easy to learn with the open tunings. You can play tunes with one finger. Sounds like you know wood working, that's a big plus right there. You should build one. their fun. M~
