The Ultimate Chord Reference Book for 3-String Cigar Box Guitar Players.
The Complete Cigar Box Guitar Chord Book is the most extensive library of chords ever assembled for the 3-string cigar box guitar. It's amazing that over 2000 chords are possible with only 3 strings, considering that two of the three strings on the cigar box guitar are tuned to the same note in GDG tuning. There are many "possible" chords though some more practical and easier to play. This extensive library will cover all the chords required to play any style of music.
A must-have for all cigar box guitar musicians
I have offered as many chords as possible in each of the 12 keys in music, as well as multiple voicings of each chord providing lots of chord choices. While there is the extensive library, I have also included the most played and user-friendly chords for most players.
Learning your favourite chords is the first step quickly followed by learning to switch the chords and play songs and chord progressions. There are many chord progressions in the book that are taken directly from some of the most popular songs ever written. There is a good selection of blues chord progressions that cover many of the standard blues changes in all keys. Also, take some time and play through some standard strumming and fingerpicking patterns. You will see these familiar patterns in many of your favourite songs. If you need to brush up on your chord theory there are several pages dedicated to how chords are formed, the chord numbering system, and chord formulas.
A perfect workbook for all 3-string cigar box guitarists
The 3-String Blank Tablature Workbook and Reference for the Cigar Box Guitar provide players with a place to write down your musical ideas and keep your songs together in one workbook. There are four templates to work with: blank tablature (tab) with chord diagrams, 3-string blank tab, chord diagrams with the GDG fingerboard, and 3-string chord diagrams.
Several handy quick references are also included specifically for the 3-string cigar box guitar tuned GDG: chords, scales, scales patterns, fingerboard charts, and tablature with a notation guide showing how to write down commonly used playing techniques. 118 pages.

Reviews:
Really awesome stuff Brent I've always loved blues music and blues licks since I was a kid. I just found out about all of the CBG activity and am just starting to learn on my new 3 string box. I've tried full size 6 string guitars several times but never improved enough because of such short stubby fingers. Now I have lots more hope. Big thanks for all these great riffs Brent ... Jon
GOOD BOOK FOR PLAYING A 3-STRING CBG ...R.Reynolds.
"the nuts and bolts of CBG" B.Baker
Audio tracks really help. Especially for a beginner like me. B.White
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!
Lastly, check out my website for the online audio tracks and videos and please send your comments and suggestions for further publications! Enjoy! Brent Robitaille
