    Questions welcome; Wikipedia Quote: Cigar box guitars are a creative and authentic way to return to the roots of guitar music whether you’re a beginner or an experienced guitarist A fretless, slide instrument is easier to play because there are no chord shapes or fingerings to learn. It’s all open tuning and you follow the dots (fret markers) on the neck with the slide to make chords. The original CBGs were all slide instruments. They didn’t have the technology to fret them and that’s where that blues tone comes from—the slide. It’s about keeping it simple and raw and uncomplicated.
