Hi Folks,

I just ordered a cigar box guitar from C.B. Gitty (the basic model, via Amazon).

I discovered the cigar box guitar (and the diddley bow) on a YouTube video featuring Scott Ainslie:

At the moment, I use tenor guitar initially tuned CGDA (currently tuned to BGDG) to simulate the feel of a cigar box guitar.

As I was looking for some information on the internet regarding the chords corresponding to this new tuning of my guitar, I found the following site, which will give you all the possible chords you can build with a guitar which has 3 strings or more, in any possible tuning.

Here is the link:

(the sit is called : "Theo's Banjo Chord Generator")

In addition to displaying cords in a given tuning, the chord generator also creates a map of the fretboard in any possible tuning.

Serge.
