Another instalment in my "Backporch Jamboree Songbook", I've just finished "Shortnin' Bread" for 3 string CBG's tuned I-V-I, 1st position harmonica, chords and lyrics. I've used the Roman numeral system to name notes, so your instruments can be tuned to whatever key you'd like (I use G-D-G tuning using the A-D-G strings from an acoustic pack), and this arrangement is suitable for both fretted and fretless guitars. If you have questions about how to play this, please watch Keni Lee Burgess' "CD 4 Cigar Box Guitar 3 String- How To Play Bottleneck Slide Delta Blues", which covers all of the technique necessary to play this song on your CBG. Enjoy!
