Strange Tunings for Cigar Box Guitar

Let's get weird today and fiddle with the tuners on our cigar box guitars!

I've created many lessons for Open G tunings which are great for blues and folk music, but if you really want to push the boundaries in your playing, try these strange tunings out for some inspiration:

Three-string cigar box guitar - tuning in 5ths:  E B F#

Three-string "Mother Leeds" tuning:  E E B

Six-string dissonant tuning:  Bb Bb Bb F A Bb

Two-string E-E Tuning:  E and E (octave above)
