BLUES BOX 3-STRINGERS (El Jeffe's Sidetrack)

I have been impressed with these 3-stringers. I checked out Dulcimers, Balalaikas, Domras and then these 3-string cigar box instruments. I have had a real nice cigar box around for years now. Perhaps I'll give it a try. Click the entry title to get to the Three String Guitars ~ Primal Americana BLOG.

Earlier today I was discussing getting a few people for a group closer to home. I was suggesting that we might also bring other instruments in to our realm to get a bit fuller sound. After watching the Playing for Change videos and seeing the washboard percussion with the thimbles and steel cups, and trying one while I was in Alaska last year with my wife, Wendy, I have been impressed with the power of simple instruments. I also tried a 1-string washbasin bass when I was there.

I watched a video by Keni Lee Burgess today of him giving a lesson on a 3-string cigar box instrument. I was totally engrossed in his description and extremely simple instructions as well as the amazing sound that came from the instrument. I couldn't embed the video here but if you click the title of this post you will be taken directly to YouTube. HU
