How to Play Jimi Hendrix’s “Hey Joe” on the Cigar Box Guitar

[@johnwashburn3793]

Hey Del, thanks for the reminder that you are the one and only, unique original Mr. Puckett, sir. I appreciate you and I know that I'll never be you so I will be the best me that I can. Thank you.

[@johnwashburn3793]

...but yes,I am inspired to aspire but I may perspire on the way to achievement.

[@itsclearasmud7718]

Yes.. and I mean yes! Bars and power chords on these three stringers are magic for the less musically inclined; whether it be through age or ability. And some of us who live in both those catagories desperately want to play. Hey Joe,.. where you goin with that guitar in your hand.

[@HardDriveNation]

Although I do have two left thumbs on my right hand, I really find the plucking difficult to grasp. This is a super good starting place. Thanks for Joe, Del!

[@LolitaWilson-d7q]

Excellent lesson, now I have to try it when I finish building my guitar.

[@briandell7682]

You are one of the coolest 3 string cbg players on KZbin. Keep rockin’ it, mr puckett!

[@larzhillbot1443]

Ill never forget back in the day i was at a rock club with a live band where i saw right a way a huge Marshall amp stack , and the lead man Played Hay Joe Blew me away

“Hey Del, where you goin' with that CBG in your hand? Hey Del, I said, where you goin' with that CBG in your hand?” Thanks for sharing, keep on Rockin DP!🔥🤘🏻🇺🇸

[@williamgroemminger6006]

Thanks, nothing is better than a little Hendrix baby.

[@1961levans]

That is a great video, Del. You’re an awesome spokesman and teacher of the cbg! You’re the best!

[@caddisking]

Now. That. Slaps! This lesson is right up there with your epic Collective Soul lesson... Major props Del.

[@moondust1954]

Thanks for this Del, you are an inspiration to us novice cbg makers/players. I've just finished my fourth build and I think I'm getting better at making them and thanks to you a bit better at playing too. I'm 68 and retired, a mans gotta have a hobby right. Keep it up

[@rodjones117]

Del, boy you never cease to amaze me...

[@theverseshed]

Outstanding. For a couple of years I followed your uploads and really enjoyed playing a CGB. Then life got in the way but now I'm about to start again. Loved this upload and demo. Great sound with that box you made, especially with the volume up and the overdriven tones . . . not excessive, but a superb growl. Magic stuff.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

welcome back and thank you for reaching out 😎

[@mybusiness7663]

Thanks Del I like the easy one finger tunes! Cause I am limited.

[@McSepplens]

Hey Del! What a great lesson you got here Hey Del! Hey Del! What a great Jam you got cookin’ here!

[@joer5627]

I’m cracking up. Starting a baby bed for the newest grandchild on the way. Then a sculpted rocker for me. I can see me on the back deck rocking my old tail out in my custom made chair playing Hendrix! Maybe sit on the deck at the lake house and serenade the fisherman as troll by. Now that’s a hoot no matter how you look at it.

[@Phil144gbp]

Excellent lesson 🤘🎶

[@gutobowi]

That’s awesome Del. Going to definitely try this one out at my hill farm in West Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤟

[@frantisektkakafrankt634]

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@texasbootlegger3752]

Awesome Del!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Thanks!

[@ericshaffer9823]

I saw the bar chords, and thought Way Cool! I can do that! Then I saw the first alternate chords, and thought Challenging, so gonna need to work hard and practice... but can do! And then there were all the semi bars, Hendrix chords, etc and there I was, in the grocery store, paralyzed, staring at 18 kinds of canned peas... but seriously, amazing breakdown and great lesson! Thanks and blessings!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@ronedson687]

Man! I love this video !! Keep this going , more like this please!

[@brevs8387]

Heeeey Del, where you going with that guit in your hand? Ba-na-na nah, nah nah! Man, that open chord version added with that walking bass line and that "Hendrix chord"... I can't help but think that's how Jimmi would have played it if he played a CBG or we're still with us. Great video, Del. Thanks!

[@brettdawson5326]

This awesome! Thanks 👍🏻

[@richardfletcher8922]

Great lesson Del! Thanks for the Jimmy Jam! Time to practice!😎👍🎶🎶

[@slatsguitar]

Hi, it sounds awesome! What's the plastic hinged box that you used for the guitar please?

[@tekman55]

The walking bass is my favorite

[@keithconner9036]

Rocking! Thank you

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Rock on!

[@stevegrigg796]

Hey Del .... You played several Hendrix tunes in one of your vids from way back and I thought that was cool ... I will watch this again when I have my CBG to hand. Of course I can't find the damm video now. Don't suppose you remember which one it was?

[@magicinkster7220]

Love it

[@tunnel7]

You are the greatest CBG player on youtube but please tell me why you love EBE tuning when I have all mine GDg which seems to be the standard tuning.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

hey tunnel7 - thank you for the kind words mate. i don’t really have a favorite tuning necessarily. i tune to the instrument… if it’s a large scale instrument i like the lower tuning of EBE. if the action allows and i want to play slide i might tune up to GDG. if i’m learning or playing along with a song i might tune to match the pitch. i also like higher tunings for skinny strings and/or smaller scale instruments. i’m all over the map. have you seen my (5 alternative tunings) video? finally - a fee benefits of lower tunings are easier on the fingers, easier to bend, deeper tone, less stress on the neck, longer string life… yada yada yada 😎.

[@scottyonbass4003]

Hey Del, where're you walkin' with that bass in your hand? 🎵🎶

[@johnmitchelljr]

Jimi would be smiling if he was behind you watching. Thank you.

[@rayobannon]

Aw man, this is f*cking priceless. Thank you! :)

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

pick up… don’t put down 🤓👍🏽

[@wuuudo]

Hi Del. Just wondering what sort of pickup setup you're using. Sounds great👍

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

this one has both a mag pickup and a piezo

[@releshred1272]

Hey Del! Do you still play electric guitar? You were such an amazing player! Or are you strictly cigar box now?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

truth is I dabble with just about anything... but 3 string is just so easy to JAM :-)

[@bluesgaru]

what gauge strings do you use

[@genomitchalinni8106]

🎵 Hey, you! Why did you drink Brake fluid, on KZbin? If it was just you, I get it. But, you offered it to our doggyhound, too! 🎵

[@cecilmadden]

Hello Del, I'm not a guitar player. At 65 I'd love to build a cigar box 3 or 4 string guitar and learn to play Jazz standards. Have you got any ideas about how I should proceed? I love to sing and would love to be able to provide some accompaniment?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

you just need to jump into the waters… there are no rules… just inspirations 😀

[@genomitchalinni8106]

🎶 Hey, Joe, stop drinking brake fluid in front of me! 🎶.

[@freeelectron8261]

Sweet!

[@KingKernel]

Can you play Texas Flood by the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan?

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

[@KingKernel]

@@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar sick, i got the beginning down, but after that it's a lost cause for my part

[@quinnwilliams5163]

You are having way too much fun Del… do some more great songs please.. It’s always good to find songs that work well on 3 string.. I’ll swap you when the levee breaks.. that works really well.. have fun,, gary
