Hey Nigel.
Welcome to CBN firstly! Being in Birmingham you should look up Chickenbone John. He's all over YouTube, the net and also on here. Perhaps one of the best known cigar box guitar folks in the UK? Definitely where you should consider looking anywho. Best of fortunes with everything.

Hi Nigel, There are a number of lessons on you tube. Look for Shane Speal, Justin Johnson and Mike Snowden to name a few.
Welcome and Regards Tony

My next workshop is in Bearwood, Sat 11th June. The last workshop was fully booked, and this one is already half full, so book early to avoid disappointment!
