Bugging My Wife (original on 3 string cigar box guitar, with way too short neck)
This was just for kicks. My granddaughter and her husband picked up this 3 string, cigar box guitar at a garage sale. It was home-made, as many of them are. The problem is it doesn’t have the usual 24” to 36” neck, and is instead only about 12”. It is hard to figure out how to play any songs on it yet, so wrote my own in open G tuning to just have some fun with it. I put on a cheap pick up as it is not very loud on it’s own. It looks cool though! This was for my wife; Lynda. The head-stock is shaped like the state of AZ.

That was great Philb! 👍 I like the humor in the song. I like cigar box guitars, I used to listen to them on YouTube.

@stevieblues @Loraine @Bill_Brown
Thanks for listening. It is fun to create; even if it is just a silly song.
@Bill_Brown I had advertised it online, but then pulled the ad. So, for now it’s staying with me. 😜

Fun song and “guitar” discovery @Philb . The open slide setup is great. Sounds like some funky West African blues music I’ve heard…. fun lyrics as well. I’m sure that while you played it, it was bugging your wife 🤣
Who knows? Maybe you’ve found one of Bo Didley’s first guitars!

What a great video to see. Now…. i’m going to have to keep my eyes open for a cigar box guitar!

Now that was pure fun. Why not? Retirement from the wife’s viewpoint….
Half the money and twice the husband. Bug on.

What a fun and creative moment!

@Marty69 It is fun!
@charlie_d It definitely would have bugged her had she heard it. 😂
I should have added that Bo Didley beat.@Cadgirl If you find one, make sure it has a longer neck. 😁
@albert_d You wrote some truth. I will bug on!
@SherryH It was fun to mess around with. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Thank you all for taking a listen.
