[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks man

[@stevemerrill7940]

Ive followed you for a long time and i just bought a Vox Mini Go 10 after watching your video. Ive been making cigar box guitars for 10 years now and now im determined to play better. Your lessons are so good. So appreciated. Youre the best.

[@bass_face]

thank you for this great lesson....I'm starting to mess around with a cigar box guitar and this is a huge help...you got a new fan here!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thank you. After a time the messing around will become second nature and your mind will let you roam around the fretboard.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWbSeJWah8p4lbc I'm working on converting my 4 string CBG into a 6 string CBG, more specifically a 6 string CBG in Bb (it's tuned a step below a Normal 6 string Guitar so it's D, G, C, F, A, D) so I can cover Trumpet Sheet Music.

[@Jack-fs2im]

get there slowly thanx

[@timmalone9946]

Hey UM. can we do Jeff beck going down?

[@dlh1947us]

I have been playing music for 30 years for my own enjoyment. This the best tutorial I have ever watched.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@200feetup6]

Another great lesson Will be soloing all weekend while looking at the lake. Thanks for everything you do for the cgb community. Not a special pleader for UM but buy a songbook or one of his bundles. It will help keep this thing going

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Have fun!

[@Denver_Risley]

I've returned to this lesson a few times as I find it so very useful in learning this instrument. I've only been playing for a few months. That goes for ANY guitar. These lessons reveal their wisdom as I learn more and my understanding grows.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

I'm glad it works for you.... your success is my success

[@SP4313]

Outstanding lesson Mark. I'm just breaking into playing lead and this really helps. Thank you!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Im glad it’s working for you

[@davidluck4608]

Great TUITION❤️

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

@@davidluck4608 thanks a ton

[@chris-terrell-liveactive]

Good video, I like that you start with a 2 note solo, good way to take the pressure off a beginner. Thank you.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Glad it was helpful, 2 note solos work for me

[@emryswilson9410]

Thanks for this, just what I needed!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thank you!

[@thebluesengineer6493]

Chapeau✌very good lesson, I wish you a merry Christmas and I Promis that I'll stay tuned in 2024!

It’s not A sharp.. it’s b flat..

[@marcgarrity4685]

I was a little nervous about the purple soul patch (just keeping it 💯) but it was a solid video

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

The purple reminds me I'm sober.... over 7 yrs

[@PK-hn5gb]

Absolutely brilliant. Why does no-one else explain it like that?

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thank you for the kind words

[@ludwigvanzappa9548]

Super interesting! New suscriber, thank you!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

Thanks for the kind words and the sub😎

[@martynharveythepoet5114]

Hi Mark, Great video - thanks! I'm a bit confused about why it's A# (in the Pentatonic scale explanation around 3:55)... i always think of it as a Bb... Why is it an A#? Many thanks. Great CBG by the way!!!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

It's very confusing, i always say Bb BTW. if your scale has 1 sharp in it then it's an A#.... if your scale has a flat in it it's Bb. it's that simple to my knowledge

[@lifeisjazz]

Coming from music theoryland, I recommend thinking of it as Bb. It's a "minor" pentatonic, so the third of g minor is Bb. You can also think of it as five notes taken from the basic g natural minor scale - G A Bb C D Eb F G. The pentatonic version of that is G Bb C D F G. The A# is certainly used in a blues context, but usually it's when you're approaching the major 3rd B with a chromatic note. A# to B makes more sense in a scale motion than Bb to B. I hope that makes sense. Uncle Mark is awesome and it doesn't really make huge difference in the end.

[@stevepayne3660]

Wow!, what a lesson, I think I got more insight and inspiration from this one lesson than I have from ANY other of the Hundreds I have studied over the years. Thank You.

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

That makes me very happy.

@@TomaszKubowicz thanks a ton man. I just want you to learn.

[@TomaszKubowicz]

@@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson Your comment to play around with one note in solo helped me a lot - so simple and so mind opening… Great stuff man 🎸

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

@@TomaszKubowicz I’m glad. Your success is my success

[@ishaylanda7577]

Fantastic lesson, very helpful! It would be great if you could do a follow-up lesson on some of the details, for instance on the sliding up and the soloing that happens from roughly 1:45-1:50. Also on how to produce the soulful bends. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@unclemarkscigarboxguitarlesson]

All those things you mention will come with practice and experience. Keep on keeping on

[@FantaconeBoxWorksCBG]
