Free Cigar Box Tablature Library

Did you know there is a fast-growing collection of FREE tablature for 3-string cigar box guitars over at CBN's sister site www.CigarBoxGuitar.com? It's true!

For those of you who aren't sure what tablature is, it is a way of writing out songs that shows you exactly where to put your fingers on the instrument to make the notes. There's even a video lesson by Glenn Watt to show you how to read the tablature and play it on a 3-string CBG.

The tab collection is up to about 45 songs, with 3 new ones just added in the last couple of days:

Build Me Up, Buttercup as performed by The Foundations - arranged by Glenn Watt
Camptown Races by Stephen Foster - arranged by Glenn Watt
Royals by Lorde - arranged by Ben "C. B. Gitty" Baker

Here are some of the other categories of song tabs that have been posted:

John , that site is old & abandoned, so it operates on an old version of the internet? If you’re on a tablet, then click on it until it says “open in a new tab” , click that & then scroll up to see the open tabs & you’ll see it? or it’ll give you a little screen like this in the pic? Click on the page image & it’ll open? That’s what I’ve done on my iOS devices? Good luck
