Cigar Box Guitar - The Ultimate Collection Volume Two: How to Play Cigar Box Guitar

By Brent Robitaille

Volume Two of the "Ultimate Collection" series continues with more music and instruction to help learn the three-string cigar box guitar tuned to GDG. The book covers a wide variety of material and is excellent for beginners to advanced players. There is a good selection of tunes including blues, rock, jazz, classical and traditional that can be played with a slide, a pick or just your fingers. As usual, each tune includes tablature and music notation for those familiar with reading music. There are an additional 18 songs with suggested chords and diagrams, strumming and fingerstyle patterns, time signatures, the starting singing note, and the key of the song. There are also some sample accompaniment patterns and useful tips on how to accompany on the cigar box guitar.

If you are into rock and pop styles check out the "12 rock riffs" and the popular chord progressions with diagrams. The chord progressions are based on current pop/rock music and can be applied to your favorite songs. As in volume one of this series, a full chord and scale library with fingerboard charts are provided. The most common chords also have photos, a chord chart, and tablature and notation. The "10 ways to play major and minor chords" is an excellent way to learn and master the major and minor chords on the cigar box guitar!
