Building A Cigar Box Guitar Part 4

A quick update on the project… I carved a butterfly onto the body. I probably shouldn’t be so concerned with aesthetics on cbg #1 but as an artist I can help it! I also used a program to make a template for the fret scales. It’s called WFRET. Find it here: europa.spaceports.com

    GOURD UKULELE

    From CIGAR BOX to GOURD UKULELE—I’ve always wanted to build one of these ukuleles. A Koa top and fingerboard on this Gourdulele . Hand made and “home grown” (www.wix.com Building ukuleles has proven to be therapeutic and fun. It is a little more difficult to build in contrast to a cigar box uke because of the shape of the gourd. Thanks for looking -see more at www.wix.com/cigars/2ukes

      cigar box guitar-dulcimer-going to california

      DADD tuning . My favorite guitar build yet. Cigar box guitar/dulcimer even has a neck made from over 25 cigar box laminated strips. I think it has a nice tone for this song-even if I don’t do the song justice! Enjoy.

          Review x4! Ecig Cigar and Madvapes PT and Juice!

          TheECFGamer’s webcam video May 30, 2010, 10:50 AM Ecig Cigar from Smokingeverwhere.com Scale 1-5 this is a -10 The cigar is heavy and kinda showy with needless gold trim on it. The cart IS very large but thats the only thing it has going for it. The unit has a BUILT IN Atomizer so when the atomizer dies your SOL! And thats BIG seeing as it has a 0 price tag! WTF!? If you bought one of these things I have some beachfront property in Arizona you might want. It puts out crappy vapor and isnt worth the crap its made of. Keep clear and dont even think about getting one like this. Madvapes USB PT Fair little unit and has the awesome ability to go MOBIL! thats right! Unplug the USB port and take it on the go, should last for about an hour. Great design and a fun little PT that should keep you vaping happily for a good long while. Madvapes Flavors: Cuban Cigar: Flavor: 5/5 Vapor: 5/5 Throat Hit 4/5 Cuban is an All day tobacco vape that doesnt have that sweet taste you get with most tobacco flavors. its super smooth and the taste is something to savor and enjoy. A MUST buy for any vapor, even if tobacco isnt your thing the flavor is going to make you beg for more! US Mix Marlboro: Flavor 5/5 Vapor 5/5 Throat Hit 5/5 Marlboro is an awesome flavor, a bit sweet for a Marlboro but thats fine by me. This is going to be a smokers best friend when it comes to flavors. It has a delicious flavor with a crisp throat hit that makes your small Analog yearning disappear.

            Home made Cigar Box Amp – sound test

            This is the first amp I’ve ever made and I couldn’t have done it without the leaflet “How To Build A Cigar Box Amp” from Smojo. (If you want one Smojo can be contacted at smojoguitars@yahoo.co.uk) I used a Montecristo cigar box, a Kemo MO32 12 watt amp module and a 4″ 4ohm car speaker. It’s powered with a 9v battery (didn’t want to do anything linked up to the mains while I’m still SO inexperienced!!) If you want to see some photos, including one of the inside have a look here www.cigarboxnation.com I’m playing my 3 string Red Dog Cigar Box Guitar…if you like the sound, check out this site reddogguitars.com or John McNair’s YouTube channel www.youtube.com

There are also pictures there, of this guitar…:-) This song, still one of my very very favorites:-) My Mom, responsible for my love of music, I heard her playing songs from my inception in the womb LOL… Later, in my childhood she made sure I had piano lessons, whether I wanted them or not…., and drove many miles, even dangerous long miles, to take me there and back. It was a “gift” that kept on giving as it planted a seed. This guitar is going to gift alot of happiness, and knowing my lil offerings go out and cause a smile, a laugh, maybe even a tear,…that to me, that is GOLDEN,,,,,and why I do this. The smile, joy factor. AND, it makes me feel good. much love to you all, I have many faithful listeners who I love dearly, I hope you can feel the love, when my replies fail. …….I cannot return to say thanks and comment today, or I won’t get to make that bucket of ice cream!

                Cigar Box Guitar “Statesboro Blues” 4 string fretless slide by Mark Stowe

                Here is a simple arrangement of the blues classic “Statesboro Blues”. I’ve got the 4 string fretless cigar box guitar tuned to open G (GBdg) which makes it easy to play the song on a single instrument and still manage to add some Duane Allman style slide. While the song is played in the key of D, Duane Allman had his guitar tuned to open E and played the song around the tenth fret. To match what he did I like using the open G tuning GBdg and centering my playing around where the 7th fret would be (if I had frets). While this open G tuning may not be as popular as other open G tunings (namely the DGbd open G tuning), I think you’ll find it great for call and answer blues riffs.
