To play great sounding Folk or Blues music you dont need a dobro or resonator or special guitar, there is no need for a special slide, and you dont need some special theory or training or manuals…….watch as I as I play some 1870s American Folk music with a bottle neck…perhaps if you rode up on the Jesse James hide out youd hear this music coming from thier back porch???? If you want to learn more, visit www.3-string-guitar.com and learn everything about cigar box guitars ….or just Google Red Dog Guitars. This guitar also sounds the way it does because it has an internal pickup, there is nothing at all wrong with a magnetic pickup or humbucker, I do use them sometimes…but you will always sound modern and never really achieve that vintage sound with one. This pickup is made by JJB electronics, it is leaps and bounds better than any other cigar box guitar pickup in the world…belive me I am not blowing smoke, …just go back, hit the play button and listen for your self….if you build or want to play cigar box guitar or acoustic guitar head on over to his website, the 20 or 30 bucks you spend will make you 10 times happier than any other pickup….there is nothing wrong with soldering or homemaking a radio shack buzzer pickup or converting a piezo, thats totally fun!!!… but if you want to reach back in time, you need something made specifically for great sound…its up to you, its just a few dollars for a great sounding guitar…its all about the tone <b>…<b>

I would’ve liked it better unplugged and in the actual cabin or on the front porch!!! I thought to myself in the begining of the video, "Wow, this is gonna be cool, but then I heard the electric pickups and saw the power pack plugged in, I got let down! But it still sounds good!
Hi and thanks, its on an album on my site at reddogguitars . com
its on the album called "Analog Fortune" its also listed on ebay
Where / how can I download / purchase this song? I really dig it.
….Thx for representin’ Puerto Rico…..
I could sit here all year and listen to you play. You remind me of Harry Manx. Do you have any stuff I can download to listen to away from YouTube? I just find this incredibly relaxing.
Parts of it remind me of the telemovie they did of Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’.
Thanks for letting everyone share you love of music.
reminds me on starcraft 2, it’s the same kind of music
It sounds Like Red dead redemption music, like the west cowboy gun duel music, I love that so much <33
sweet guitar!
Straight from the ancient fountain, the source of Rock n Roll.
I wish I knew a bar where they play such music
Hell yeah! Man, I loved everything about this vid. ROCK ON
Ghetto slide making for dummies
Génial tout simplement.
hi great playing just sort of sounds like what u hear on tv or movie of the deep south liek at the begining of a moive dunno what its called but sounds very much like what u do @3.30 – 3.33 sort of thing but with more dip to it i cant explain it but still sounds good
hey man.awesome vid.what is this strange instrument?
P.S i am going to crack a bottle for my guitar!
wow thats sounds awesome is there anyway I can play that on a 6 string guitar?
mostly made up open style tuning…theres nothing standard about it 🙂
Is this guitar tuned to standard tuning or open alternate tuning ?
yeah, but if you direct record you will not have any problems…also use headphones!
When a piezo is in an amp, will it have feedback on distortion?
Wow! cool!
Hell yeah!!!! Subscribed for sure! Just awesome man.
haha yeah ik i forgot to delete my comment only saw the beginning and went to a different tab thanks!
