Q: what’s the opposite of ZZ-Top?? A : AA-Bottom 😜

[@FantaconeBoxWorksCBG]

Great sound.

[@vicguitar1]

This is very interesting a 3 string Rock Box !

[@randywollin5732]

I never really paid much attention to cigar box guitars before but you made it interesting. I don't quite get how it's tuned though. With only three strings what do you tune them to? Is it just three top three?

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Depends on the scale length, but usually the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings ... this particular cbg Del is playing is tuned GDg, but he also uses an EBe tuning on other cbgs (or DAd etc)

[@Rod58]

awesome video, did not know you could make a 3 string guitar sound like that

[@LolitaWilson-d7q]

The sustain is awesome!!!

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

As Billy said, "Grab that twine and make it whine!! Which reminds me of Neil Young's companion cd to his live album, "Weld" he called "Arc" (clever) which was 45 minutes of feedback...

[@vaargvongregersen4631]

if you want to sound like ZZtop listen to old blues music that's how they did it

[@j-mo2453]

No… but I can sound like kiss got john mayer into the space man suit and covered ZZ Top in the style of SRV except played by Carlos Santana with his carpal tunnel acting up. So I get pretty close. Lol

[@j-mo2453]

Billy Gibbons has been the single most fun guitarist to see live in my life. He uses the big screen with tight closeups for his following of guitar aficionados with intent. If you are a guitarist and go see ZZ Top and don’t love any new tricks you learned, you are probably a better accordion player. Lol

[@j-mo2453]

::: covering Jesus just left Chicago like a boss though ;-)

[@TheAndypierson]

A How how how You showed us how!

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

i see (hear) what you did there !?! 😜

[@cybersean3000]

Does Billy have one of your guitars? You could give him one and teach him how to play it.

[@PuckettCigarBoxGuitar]

…. yeah right…!?!?
