Demoing a 4 string CBG cigar box guitar played fully acoustic. Built and played by Taffy Evans.
I never played 4 string before but worked out this piece for the demo. This was built a couple of years ago but as there is little info on playing the 4 string it has not sold as quick as others. Enjoy...I hope.

Thanks Derek, I stopped building 4 stringers because I could not demonstrate them good enough. 

I have built full size baritone ukes,can't ply them either, but I was amazed at what others do on them, from jazz to classicle.

That really sings Taffy! Beautiful guitar and tone. Excellent playing. I like making and playing 4 strings too. They are more intuitive to me than 3's. I tell people to check out baritone ukulele chord and Dr Ukes site for bari songs that work well for 4 string cbg's in DGBe tuning and banjo chords for DF#Ad.

Hi every one, well thanks for the comments. Keith, now that you mention it I do not know what this is tuned to, ill have to check it out.

The tune normally accompanies a song I wrote some years ago, I left out the words this time.

Shane's new post on 4 stringers look interesting, I may try some blues neck time.

Looks and sounding good, and your playing too. Cool tune. There are quite a few different tunings that could be used for 4 strings Gitty is working on them right now.
