Got Licks ??

Using only open strings and the 3rd and 5th frets.... these notes comprise the minor pentatonic scale, perfect for Blues and Rock Licks.
A LICK is a stock pattern or phrase consisting of a short series of notes that is used in solos and melodic lines and accompaniment. Also, a LICK is different from the related concept of a RIFF in that a riff can also include repeated chord progressions....

coming back to this five years after i found it and it’s still one of the most beautiful things i’ve experienced

[@kenmilne5987]

I am 60+ and I bloody well wish the Internet was around in my youth. Not fair.

[@mikhem1962]

Ken Milne, my thoughts exactly. Never too late, so they say.

[@Jkw211]

I’m not 60 but I did grow up without the internet-and physically and socially isolated. It was like living on a desert island. 😂😭 (p.s. I LOVE the internet:))

Awesome 😎

[@lennyharp]

this is great stuff

[@TheRedhawke]

Really enjoyed this video, did you make a video of how you made the head stock on this guitar. Looks wider so you have more room for tuners. Very nice look.

[@terryvallette3022]

pucket I just had a blast playing this with you. so much fun I laughed on most of this. but we where in tune and rocking this blues lick. thank you and now I have some fun with hammer ons and pull offs. didn't think this would be this much fun but I had a blast!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

that's what its all about...jamming and not really thinking... and of course ... HAVING FUN !!!! Thanks for listening !!

Gracias super intro👍

I Dig this Guitar. Sounds sweet.

[@MrGREYMATTERS]

What everyone has expressed, Del!

[@waltdavis29]

As always, masterfully insightful. Hey Del, when you can, post another video of that 12 string style 6 stringer you made. I know, I know, 6 strings are too many but you really captivated me with that thing. When I get time I’m gonna build one. Cheers man 🍻

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Walt Davis that guitar sold.... no longer in my possession 😎

[@waltdavis29]

Puckett Cigar Box Guitar Oh well, guess I’ll play the previous one a hundred more times 😂

[@BigDaddyPoof]

Dam your good.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Can I jam some CCR, without getting into trouble? Well, can you?

[@spencerlockhart358]

Thanks Del, I've learned a lot already from your vids man!! But I would like to find a chord chart for EBE, I've looked all over and can't seem to find one.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

same chord shapes as GDG just different names. i've been a guitar player all my life so i just visualize the bottom two strings of a guitar.... and the top string... thus E B E - it works in my mind...

[@zardozica]

Fantastic stuff Del but I had to watch a Red Dog commercial first - LOL

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

love RED DOG !!!!! Great inspiration !!! Great Guy as well !!!

[@Chriswoodworker]

Which do you proffer GDG or EBE? Also, are all the chord patterns the same or different as I'm a VERY new CBG player.

[@argi0774]

3:50 "I recommend only one finger vibrato" *does a 3 finger vibrato*

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Your powers of observation are on point!!! I need you on my team !! 😎

[@argi0774]

@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar I already am ;) But I am building 3 strings with a "regular" guitar body, not a cigar box

[@ThisIsMeOnYoutube]

Thanks Del, that was a great lesson. What string gauge do you use?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

acoustic mediums (all wound A D G) . .044 .034 .026 . i like tuning down... creates a looser feel and a deeper tone that i think really lends itself to CBG

[@chuckkelley5894]

Thanks again for unraveling my overcomplicating the playing of these insane instruments! The one you made for me still blows everyone's minds...even some of the guitar wizards who misunderstood and didn't know the magic these CBGs can bring. Here's a link to the cbg Dale built for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ6xZ5icedlsotk

[@TheDigitalMurder]

Random question, but why do you prefer the E B E tuning? I find it's just the same as playing an 6 string with missing strings, to me why not just use a six string guitar when your tuning like a 6 string (but with 3 missing strings) It just sounds like a normal guitar with missing notes But when I listen to stuff in the open G (G D G) it feels and sounds like different instrument, since your not just playing in the normal tuning it makes it sound so much better to me (anyway I'm not knocking what you do i just wonder why tune it like a normal guitar....) it sounds no different than me than someone just playing an electric guitar

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

i use many tunings. E is my singing key. The beauty of the instrument is you can tune any string to just about any pitch... i also like the looseness of having less tension in the string. easier to bend.

[@TheDigitalMurder]

@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar thanks brother, as I said I knew there had to be a reason, I love your videos but I couldn't find one where you explain why you mostly use that tuning Thanks for the reply, I was going mad trying to work it out One love from Scotland ✌️😎 *best cigar box channel on KZbin (love your work)
