My hand made cigar box guitars
A showcase for my cool, hand-made cigar box guitars. These are mainly made from recycled materials (wooden cigar box for the body and hardwood for the neck) and have three strings tuned to an open chord. You play them with a slide or "bottleneck". Most have a piezo crystal picj-up so can be run through an amplifier. They are fantastic bluesy instruments and a whole lot of fun.

A snippet of "Rollin 'n Tumblin" played on one of my hand made cigar box guitars. Run through an amp with a bit of reverb and overdrive they sound pretty cool.

Blues improvisation on a cigar box guitar
Inpsired by the Mississippi Delta blues
Delta blues improvisation on cigar box guitar
A little bit of improvisation to show how a simple instrument like my hand made cigar box guitars can perform. It's run through an amp with bit of reverb and overdrive here. Just a bit of Delta inspired stuff to show you how you can play it heavy or soft, lead and rhythm. Great fun.
