Born to be wild Steppenwolf John Kay lesson for your 3 string Cigar Box Guitar

[@edspigel3601]

Another super awesome lesson! "Oh my darling Clementine" and "When the Saints come marching in" have their place and all, but this is the fun stuff I wanna play! Thank you for sharing these songs with us.

Awesome channel, I’m a long long time banjo, dobro, guitar and Pedal Steel player, getting my first CBG next month (Mainely CBG, up here on the Southern Coast of Maine) in trade for some old worn out guitar’s, not much of a blues player but have been sitting in on a monthly blues jam on my Tele for the past few years, here’s my chance to step away from rhythm backup to lead parts, thanks for you great lessons.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

This is great!

[@tonyturner9146]

Mark, you always cover the songs I like. Great cover of a classic... The soundtrack of my life.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks 😊

[@philweis1657]

Mark, love your vids. Your break downs are amazingly clear and spot on.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks a bunch.

[@robdisco2657]

This is one of the top 5 classic rock songs for sure! That funny B note (it think is a kind of a G) riff, I just barre the D, slide to the barred C, then slide into the barred B but then put my middle finger on the second string G note ( 454) then back to C then D.. its fast! Thanks so much!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

This is always my show opener..... it sets a tone!

[@phillydog17]

Thank you for a great lesson!

[@dalgguitars]

Another classic, your spoiling us mate. I was just getting into Radar Love then you go and drop this.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

On a scale of 1-10 this one's more a 3 and Radar is a solid 8. So something to play now while ya work on the others....Thanks for your support man.

Picked up another Sub. here in N.W Montana, Mark... Snowin here too.. Thanx !

[@brianm1908]

Awesome lesson once again Mark! I really enjoyed your solo and lesson on soloing. Would you mind, when you have time, giving a lesson on strumming. It might include how much pick is exposed in your fingers, whether you're hitting all the strings both up and down, and any other tips I'm sure you have. I've noticed how effortless, smooth and rhythmic your strumming is. SO good of you to share your expertise!! Thanks for all!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I'll put it on the list. It will be titled "right hand technique" . And your right I do need to do that....Thanks for the heads up.

[@brianm1908]

Thanks SO much, Mark! I will really look forward to that lesson!

[@dronhoppers]

these are great to learn btw, thanks

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks

[@castle5711]

Your various "basics" lessons are a great foundation. Perhaps one on Song Endings? Thanks!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

great idea! Thanks

[@patprocter7531]

Great videos Mark, would love to see you do a lesson on the Rolling stones Paint it Black. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

it now on the list...and Thank you for your kind words.

[@vonormykirk]

Great one!

[@AndyinMokum]

Yet another splendid lesson, many thanks. Is there any chance of some material from the late great, J.J. Cale? I think the Tulsa sound is perfect for the 3-string CBG. J.J. Cale really was the master of super cool, chilled out Blues. His album "5" blows me away every time I hear it.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I'll put him on the list....and thanks

[@squzball]

Yes please do some JJ Cale - is music is perfect for cigar box guitar

[@dronhoppers]

please do a cbg cover of in-a-gadda-da-vida

[@lenbrownoff8834]

Uncle Mark's Cigar Box Guitar Lessons Thanks to you for creating such great content!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks ...You are most welcome

[@robvanlingen8063]

I am eager to learn a Jimmy Hendrix song

[@bendavis9253]

I agree with Rob. Bitch'n videos!! Keep making them.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

thanks

[@il_fastidio]

The funny chord is a first inversion of a G Major.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

My understanding is you can only have a second inversion being the 3 string aspect of a GDg tuned guitar...... am I wrong ? the 1st doen't exist.

[@il_fastidio]

Regardless of what instrument we play, a first inversion of a chord has the 3rd at the bottom then the 5th and the 1st as top most note. Strictly speaking we should have B, D, G. In our case we don't have the 5th and we have twice the 3rd, but still it's a first inversion of G.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

so ...recap: 1st inversion of G would be 757 or DGd 2nd inversion would be DGb? we can creat both these shapes.

[@il_fastidio]

Basically the bass is leading: 1st inversion has B at the bass, 2 inversion has D at the bass. The other notes of the chord can be placed as we can/want. But let's move on: your version on the CBG sounds great! Thanks for that.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I do not have the backround you seem to have...I wish I did. Thanks for addressing all these things...cheers

[@FezzantPlucka]

I believe that 'funny' chord contains the 3rd rather than the 5th so therefore it's not as pleasing to the ear etc.
