Easy Blues Lesson: The 0-3-5 Blues Scale Secret for Cigar Box Guitar

Here's an easy way to grasp the blues scale on a 3-string fretted cigar box guitar. Shane uses a CBGitty Tin Pan Alley guitar to teach the scale, but you can use any fretted 3-string cigar box guitar. Tuning is Open G (GDG).

u’re da man, shane

[@chasewinters7050]

Best lesson I've seen so far.

[@ShaneSpeal]

Aw shucks, thank you!

[@creekrocklofi]

Thanks Shane, as always, for helping us not have to feel our way around in the dark.

[@wightparty]

1st lesson I've checked out, fantastically simple to understand, thank you from the UK

[@johnmitchelljr]

Sounds like rhythm is king in this video. Thanks again for the inspiration and fine video.

[@guitarsbybart7894]

I was re-watching this video today because I think it is important to go back and review the basics. I write a lot of stuff using this scale. However, the best line in the video, is "this is the stuff your wife complains about". It is so true. I know I am close to finishing a song when she remembers I am repeating the same thing over and over.

Shane, I won that ukulele, and I really appreciated it! I traded it for a bulletini harmonica microphone from a friend that never had a ukulele and wanted one very badly. So, we traded. He had it for a month. He unfortunately contracted throat cancer and unfortunately passed away. I really liked this guy and I miss him terribly but my heart strings were aching and felt i needed to let you know the history of that instrument. His wife must be still grieving. She wont respond to my correspondence. 🤧😰😒

Simplicity always sounds the best, primal......

[@MrZmandog]

Thanks I'm getting there

[@warrensampson7986]

Great lesson

[@fullquiver]

Cool lesson...I like these basic/simple tutorials. Started reading the book last night. Chapter 1 so far...great stories. Good stuff

[@Jones9guitars]

Very cool!

[@adriantyler6911]

Just bought the book...arriving Saturday! I think I will then have just about all I need for 3 months of isolation! So the plan is...A stomp box (Mississippi Drum Machine) from an old pallet and a piezo pickup, an old but working 1960's transistor radio to convert to an amp for the stompbox, a hubcap Guitar made from two 1960's FIAT hubcaps, the remains of a 1990's Starfield guitar and an oak neck made from an old 5 bar gate!, plus another vintage radio to convert to an amp for the guitar. Hopefully I will get to build it all without getting sick!! See you on the 4th July!

[@jimmcclanahan]

It's a great book! Reading it now and somehow KZbin knew to point me your direction. :-)

[@FraterAlex]

[@gileswhitehead]

Fabulous! Your book looks great - I have put it on my Christmas list.

[@wyldeman]

Very good Shane... Thx a ton

[@bbbernier]

Thanks. Very helpful

[@luisdesantis6035]

Thanks

[@dwood2342]

Hey buddy, I really enjoy your videos as I am new to the CBG. I like these simple lessons like this to get me started but I just had a question are you strumming all three strings during this whole video? Any info is appreciated and keep making these great videos thanks a lot

[@randoneur]

It doesn't have to be GDG! It can be any 151 interval you fancy :-)

[@thomassalin949]

I got that book :)

[@Jack-fs2im]

on it.thanx

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

Great Shane....thank you....I so want to learn how to solo and do this...dumb question....what Key is this Blues Scale in? I am guessing G?

[@Rhumstruck]

Keep it going!!! Add your 7th fret!! 0-3-5-7. That gives ya G-F-C-D I believe. Sounds good either way.

[@filianablanxart8305]

That's a slippery slope . Add a 7th fret , next thing you know, you'll be using 6th fret for transitions, and before you know it , you'll be using the Blues Scale. :)

[@jeremymoorer7033]

🔥🤘🔥

[@anestisgr1772]

Hey Shane, can you send guitars in germany?

[@icebob8555]

Works on fretless too

[@jmerrow02]

Shane do it with a slide I can't frett. My guitar

[@mcopado]

Almost all his videos are on fretless, all involve using the tip of the stubby slide on individual strings on the fretline. The principle is exactly the same. Except instead of behind the fret mark, you touch the string with the slide tip right on the line.

[@mcopado]

THis is the full blues scale with a fretless. to do the above exercise, stick to the O, 3, 5 up and down the strings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2HMkoVsd7Jpb7s

[@mcopado]

This is a good one too kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ3RpKGnf9Wopa8

[@jmerrow02]

Michael Copado thanks

[@jmerrow02]
