mate, your one of the best teacher's of cgb ive seen, you keep it simple and easy to see and understand you have helped me so much, good onya, dave australia.

[@Julian-bq9qv]

He is one great guy - down to earth, real, and I was lucky enough to get one of his "My Father's Cigar" cbgs a while back, and what is strange is, the sound has actually improved more and more with age and playing! I highly recommend his guitars!!

[@LeeCruz337]

Definitely one of the best 3 string blues tutorials I've seen yet thanks a bunch.

[@alanwilton6806]

Thank you, I've just bought my first cigar box guitar and this video is really useful. I've been playing a diddley bow recently but I have never played anything with more than one string before and wasn't sure about how best to use the slide, you've given me the answer I was looking for. Thanks again.

[@Stumpy1]

Thanks Mike. I watch allot of CBG lessons but yours always just make since. You are the man!!

[@hovlandbound]

Great video, thanks for posting! My parts are coming for my cigar box guitar and will start in soon. Can't wait.

[@jimincornwall1925]

Thanks for your expertise with the slide. I built a 4 string cbg which I’ve been playing for a while but I haven’t used a slide yet. I’m building a 3 string resonator cbg now, and I like the sound of the slide, so thanks again for your help.

[@Rachels123]

I like your teaching style. Thanks Mike!

[@Double65s]

Love it,Mike!Been playin guitar 15 years and recently discovered you and CBG's-I am absolutely hooked!

[@musicmike1960]

Mike is the bomb when it comes to these axes....

[@skyehenderson8869]

I keep coming back to your videos...probably because you're easy to understand...thanks again (and thanks for the sticker you sent with the cd..I put it on my 6 string case..looks just right!)...

[@tekman55]

Just what I needed at this moment

[@scottconger1266]

Thanks Mike👍.

[@JKolman1179]

I'll give Mike a free plug here. Not only are his online videos amazing, but he makes awesome CBG gig bags as well. Just got mine in the mail and couldn't be happier!

[@jimmy59ca2001]

Hey Mike ,, you are a great teacher,helping me a lot , Thanks

[@waynesaunders6493]

Hi mike I'm building my first cigar box guitar and hopefully I can achieve that sound I play bass and rhythm so hopefully should pick it up pretty quickly cheers from England.

[@MrOhjok]

Real good teacher. Thanks Mike.

[@billygreen197]

Man I really like your method of teaching these Cigar Box Guitars- I already play regular 6 String Guitar- but want to learn to a play some slide and picking on the Cigar box Guitar. I think in one of your videos you said you preferred the 3 string- I tend to agree I think it is just easier to Chord and do little riffs on IMO. Again Thanks Mike-

[@skyehenderson8869]

Right or wrong, I like the hell out of it! Keep twanging Mike! I'm following you!!!

[@ckimball113]

Love that song

[@elbarkorox]

looks like the pickup is either a rod or disc piezo... great tone!

[@gramadabg]

great man...cool sound

[@gordonm7038]

This planet is an amp! Rock on birdies!

[@PennyNelson]

Nice work Mike

[@voxsteven]

Appreciate it, Mike, thank you!

[@tunnel7]

what pickup are you using in the box great to watch and learn cheers ............

[@TheVatonaught]

Yeah what kinda pickup...it has a really nice tone for slide.

[@dgsguitars5960]

Very cool...

[@ChocoDog33]

hey I love your vid, great guitar and great playing! I have a quick question, I'm building my first cigar box guitar and am wondering how long your neck is and what scale length you used for it? Thanks!

[@1430sl]

Very thanks for your videos. One question, Type of string, acoustic or electric? What is the best option and why?

[@ImperialistRunningDo]

Dude, I finally got my CBG strung up (broke a few strings doing so!) I am ready to start following along. Have been listening to the CDs I got from you. Great sound. What kind of amp/ stompbox are you using?

[@dalegrant7015]

Where do you start

[@naturefreak101]

are these raised frets?...my cbg are inlaid frets..very curious..just got it

[@SmilinJackB]

Miguel, tune the 4 to GDGB if you can and for now, just kind of forget about the small string. Let it ring when you strum it.

[@MrPaulomad]

e ae cara! to construindo um aqui no brasil a dificuldade é conseguir achar caixa de charuto, pois são muito caras... mas vou usar o formato e a ideia e adesivar, quais são as medidas aproximadas desta caixa? hugs

[@loasidasortiz9716]

How do you set ur Amp.

[@luumulonkero]

that sounds hardcore \o/

[@ObamaTaliban]

Mike, what are you using for pickup? Or is that a transducer?

[@orvetthawkins5753]

do I need frets and how far are strings from neck I think I am to far away and can play only with slide

[@butterfly9560]

Hey Mike. Why is it when I use any type of slide, it sounds like a cat being strangled? It sounds nothing like you explain. There’s no swirl, I have a title wave LOL. Please help.

[@MickeyCuervo36]

Darn it... I've got a 4 string... there doesn't seem to be a lot of stuff out there for those... I'm thinking of just taking the high string off and adding it back once I get better...

[@letterli]

What kind of pickup do you use? Amp?

[@squirlmy]

late answer, but... I think the purpose of the video is to send people to snowdenguitars.com, so go there for answers. Also, I think he uses bare piezo sensors for pickups. Stock pickups are too heavy and after all, with them you might as well make a solid-body electric guitar instead of a CBG

[@dalegrant7015]

Thats great but always end up on the wrong fret

[@jimmy59ca2001]

hey Mike, I need some lessons, I will get a motel near your place and you teach me for a week , okay

[@ceryni11]

how would you recommend me learn picking properly? I cant pick for shit.

[@johnmarshall124]

how to play slide but not showing what you are doing with your right hand, sometimes all the strings but sometimes only one, too fast to follow

[@dalegrant7015]

Get on with the lesson

[@dalegrant7015]

Where are notes so you know where to go
