Here's another CBG Tutorial for the month of November. This time, I talk about my all-time favorite 4-string cigar box guitar tuning. I really like the A-D-G-B tuning because it's very flexible and easy to find strings. I take a closer look in this video.

  • There are as many tunings as there are players I suppose. I really do like this one though. It's my defacto tuning.

  • Aw,  what a nice old cat.  ADGB tuning!!!  There are so many tunings.  OH!  That is the middle four from a six.  Hmmm..   Yeah, that makes sense, especially if you play a six.  Hunh.  Stop by and let me try one?   Meanwhile I like GDGB, DGB, GDG, DAD, ADF#.   And a few more.  Good video.  Well done.

  • Thanks AD. I can't say I've tried that tuning but I could see where it would be great. I certainly love this ADGB tuning. So versatile.
