_ _ _ _ [Am] Alright, what's the difference between a 3 string cigar [N] box guitar and a 4 string cigar box guitar?
I'm going to strum on both of them, we'll check them out, and let's get started with
the 3 string.
Alright, so this 3 string is tuned to [G] open G. _ _
G, D, G.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] So when you strum on it, you're
in a G chord.
[Fm] And what's cool from there, you can [G] play with one finger.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _
So all I was doing there was just using one finger and just fretting on one string and strumming.
[F] You could also strum all, you could [Gm] fret all the strings [F] and strum all the strings and
do [G] something like this.
_ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ You could do that, you could do [Bb] chords.
[Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] What's cool is with that open G tuning is you could pretty much put your fingers anywhere
on the fretboard [G] and come up with chords.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
It's [Ab] kind of cool, it's a cool thing that you can put your fingers anywhere on the fretboard
and it makes a [G] chord.
I don't know, it works, it's kind of cool.
[Gm] _ _ [Eb] [G] What _ _ really makes it come alive is when you play with a slide though, that's what I like.
[C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
You could just slide on one string. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Or you could slide on all the strings. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [D]
[C] I [Bb] _ [G] _ _ like doing a combo, I like playing with my fingers and with a slide. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _ _ So there you go, [N] that's a three string.
They're super easy to play, they're just fun, easy, super simple, easy instrument.
_ I love playing a three string.
_ [F] Alright, let's check out a four string.
So I also have this tuned to open [G] G, _ _ _ so [D] it's D, [G] G, B, D.
_ It's a lot like a [N] banjo, like the bottom four strings of a [G] banjo.
_ _ _ You can also do a little one finger stuff. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ So that little bit I was just playing with one [G] finger on _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [C] one fret.
Then I [D] started playing with my fretting all the frets, [C] all the strings with a fret. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ It's a little more [F] difficult, the strings are a little closer together.
You can do more [C] chords, _ _ _ you got an extra string so you can do more chords.
_ [Em] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] [N] If you get a banjo chord book, you can play all the banjo [C] chords.
_ _ [G] _
[Gbm] Then again, they sound great, sounds [G] great with a slide.
[C] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _
[Db] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [C] _
[Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So there you go, maybe [N] that helped clear it up a little bit.
Four string, three string.
I really like a three string personally.
_ _ That's what I mostly play.
[G] They're just super easy and fun. _ _ _ _ _
I think they're easier to play with a slide.
_ _ _ The strings are a little, you know, the way I [Bb] make them,
the strings are a little further apart [Bm] instead of being so close together.
_ They're both really fun to play. _
_ [G] _ But hopefully that, you know, strumming on both of them,
you can hear the difference between the two. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _
[Dbm] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G] _ Wow. _ _ _ _
