Somewhere Over The Rainbow on four string CBG

Somewhere Over The Rainbow, played on four string cigar box guitar. This is the first thing I have put here using fingering rather than just slide. I really wasn't getting fingering, which I don't really understand, but for some reason something clicked and so here is my first attempt at doing something with fingering and some slide.Funnily enough learning this coincided with that arrival of a really super gift. Keni Lee's CD 6 which uses the same tuning intervals on three strings as the upper three on the four sting that I am using. I am only just starting to go through the lessons, but it makes a lot of sense.The guitar is tuned GDGB. The guitar has both humbucker and two piezos in the bridge. He amp is a Kustom Arrow 16DFX, set to the clean channel with the three EQ knobs level and some reverb/chorus.By the way, if you want to hear/see how it should be done go tohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ubVGiyAhkYand find the extraordinary Tommy Emmanuel playing what I think is the best version I have heard.

No man that was very nice. I too am a big fan of Keni's methods and have used them to also work that song out on 3 string. Nice. Thanks for the post.
