    MAKE YOUR OWN CIGAR BOX GUITAR

     
    It was a natural evolution of my cigar box guitar [CBG] playing to start running the occasional workshop. I loved it so much I have turned it into a full time occupation. I am always on the lookout for suitable venues to run the workshops from.
     
    The workshop caters for up to 10 people at £50 a ticket and runs for approx 2 hours. I supply all the materials, it is open to all ages and no prior skill is required. I give a talk on the origins of the CBG and some of the key players in the scene. I then demonstrate different types of CBG and offer playing tips. Each person then gets to make their own 2 string electric Cigar Box Guitar. We also have a go at making a slide from an old wine bottle. It's a lot of fun and I have had loads of great reviews. And nobody leaves without choosing their 'blues. name!!
