How to Play Cigar Box Guitar - Shane's Secret Riff for Selling Cigar Box Guitars

Posted by Shane Speal on March 20, 2017 at 8:27pm in Feature Articles

Shane Speal's back with one of the most useful lessons for cigar box guitar sellers looking for the ultimate riff that will draw people to their booth.  Speal shows how to use a simple G major scale on a three-string slide CBG and a Roland MicroCube amp to craft lush, heavenly sounds that bring people in.  

Remember to pour on gobs of reverb!

Hey Ben at CBGitty.com, thanks for this new camera!  The close-ups are exactly what we needed for these lessons! -Shane

    Yup, those licks would please folks and help sell.

    I like the Micro cube amps too.  I like the Brit Combo setting and a lot of delay.
