(Part 1) How to Play 1 4 5 Blues with a Cigar Box Guitars with Mike Snowden 

Hi Mike I think you made lots of people happy with this guitar lesson including my self.I will give 3 string guitar chance. Thank you very much 👍👍👍🇦🇺

thanks for posting!

Masterful sir

Loving Fat Bottom Betty, been playing her all weekend and working on the great stuff you're sharing Mike.

That put a big smile on my face. Thanks for the lesson Mike. 😄🎸

Where you been Playa???

"Promo sm" 😴

Excellent video, Mike! Could you do a breakdown of the picking pattern you used in this video, please?

Everytime this dude does his "peeeew pew, peeee-pe-peeew" and then "WHAT'S GOIN' OOON GUYS" I just can't stay in bad mood. Good vibes in flesh and bone.

Thank you for sharing. And that’s what I learned as the 12 bar blues. 1,1,1,1 4,4,1,1 5,4,1,1 I love your enthusiasm!

Hi Mike, I really look forward to your videos. I'm new to the 3 string cigar box in fact I'm a total beginner and find your method of teaching easy to follow. I would really like to play Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, although I've seen a couple of versions by other guitarist,however I was wondering what your take on it was. If you can do this that would be great. Appreciate you man Stay safe Regards Elvis Southwest United Kingdom

Mike'ster, Enjoy all your videos and I'm learning with all thanks to you. 2 Questions: Why called 1 4 5 Blues when it is 5 7 3 frets? and would you make Crossroads How To Thursday video? Many thanks from Pennsyltucky!!

Do you give lessons on 4 string box guitars? I just bought one today 9-7-24. Can you post some stuff for me? Thanks

Great lesson. I’ve bought several of your cigar box guitars. They are literally works of art and they sound great, too. I’m a fairly accomplished 6 string guitar player, but I don’t sound as good on a 3 string cigar box guitar. I’m really having difficulty getting a good tone with a slide. I’ve tried a number of different slides and just can’t get it right. Can you help or give me some guidance? I feel like if I can get the slide right I can really take off on the cigar box guitar.

Amazing all, but.... I got my Mojo working isn't a Rock and roll...

Thanks, Mike, that was a great jam to end the video with! I'm new to CBG, and I really like the sounds you can get from such a simple instrument.

Is $145 the price of that guitar as well? 😊

I want a #2369 - I will pay in advance. I see they are all sold out. Dude, I want one - what do you need me to do?

Great lesson, Mike. Really appreciate it.

Hey Mike...thanks...you always brighten everybody's Thursday! 😎🎼🎵🎶☮

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can you please spell your name.

Thanks Mike!! Brought a smile to my face and made my day!!!

top!!!!

Mike I use to live in Marietta GA and booked music in Atlanta with Stephanie Pettiss the jazz flutist and Tom.Gross & The Varsity. My good friend is Dave Cole who has BandX in Atlanta. I now own a cigar box guitar.

Fantastic Mike you always make me smile 😊 Thanks for the info Regards Dave from Scotland

I hate you... Why didn't you make this video when I started 6 years ago? :) This is exactly the kind of lesson I was looking for.. .Simple, to the point and so freaking easy to start jamming and having fun, and actually playing the blues. Everything back then was just a little too, I don't know, "heady" for me I had trouble getting my head around them and grew frustrated to make stuff sound good. This would have started me out much less frustrating and more fun path. I am going to recommend this video whenever someone is looking to get started. Although it's 6 years too late for me, THANKS for making this great tutorial.

wicked cool Mike, thanks for showing us this

Thanks so much Mike 👍🌞so great with a sunny face👍merci for sharing your happiness👍🌞i love my cigar box guitar with its deep bluesy roots sound👍💋💋💋
