[@DNAblues]

Omg. I love how easy u made picking. Man U rule! Thx so much. I'm just getting started on a 4 stringer. This is a great video. Thx again.

[@1HarryIvan]

Outstanding! Thanks, I just got my first CBG today, it's a 4-string and your video really helps! This is a great instrument to experiment with, it soulds great right off the bat, and what you showed on this video will add to what I'm doing!! Just subscribed to you and I'll be checking out your website! Thanks, again!

great job , very good video , thank you sir.

[@JustClaude13]

Sounds good. I went with conventional tuning on a 22.5" scale. I'm starting with baritone uke books, but I'm getting a book on renaissance guitar music. Should be fun.

[@DanielProfitt]

[@brian2browder]

I'm trying to learning how to play these CBG's that I make, and just finished a 4 string. You mentioned 2 chord shapes in this video. What was the finger position? I don't know any chord shapes.

"No Rules"

[@1430sl]

Hi !, I do not play the guitar, I play the violin. But I love the guitar cigarbox these. My idea is to play blues and rock. Which is the best option, three or four strings? Thank you very much!

[@jtwunchained]

3 strings for blues is my favorite by far.

[@1430sl]

Thanks! ;)

[@eclolhoop8812]

hello, what strings on mountain guitar? what are the 4 strings of the wetsuit ??

[@sootymedic8084]

Hey Travis, I tried finding your FB page, but no luck?

[@jtwunchained]

+Sooty Medic Sorry for the delayed reply. Haven't had it active in over a year. My wife and I are entrepreneurs and one of our businesses really took off and has spawned into three companies and it keeps me so busy I just don't build anymore. Been thinking about it though. Miss it lately.

[@tonymuljat3306]

you still making guits?

[@karenandrews7584]

Nice video but might I request you dumb it down for beginners?

[@jtwunchained]

hey jon-who is this "gene" fellow?? ha ha ha.

[@gerrymacpherson9598]

"tuned the A down to G....then what..??????

[@3steln766]

The original tuning for the first strings he used were (from lowest to highest) A-D-G-B. He just tuned the A to a G: G-D-G-B (open G). You could also use D-G-B-D (banjo tuning without the drone string)

[@jon3266]

don't you mean "historic" jonesboro? do you think there's such a thing as a hillbilly pickin' gene? i think there may be. that little box sounded good though i'll check it out
