Music Star Academy: Cigar Box Guitar - Primitive

Cigar Box Guitar or CBG is one of the oldest most original build instrument by Delta blues Musicians.
The first attempt was the Didley'Bow, A 1 string guitar fretless and played by a bottle's neck as a slide. To accompany the singer for the Blues that are doing.(the guitar was build using scraps they can find, broom sticks/oil can...blablabla

One man's trash is another's Treasure

Later the instrument evolved to a more complex design, 3 or 4 strings, with fret and without fret.Now we have all kinds of CBG. 5 strings , 6 strings. Harp like. whatever. This is the where the fun and interesting part is, There's no rule in building a CBG, it's your own freedom of expression in building it the way you wan it.

Since there's no rule in building it Heck the same about playing it!!! there's tons of people play CBG in their own way, with theory or not. As long as you get that Delta Kick comin' you on the Roll man!!!

There's lots of website for you to check out more of this CBG,

Google Daddy Mojo Cigar Box Guitar, Guitar Box Nation and 3 string guitar . for starters.
The thing about us here in Malaysia is the lack of cigar boxes. I mean it's hard to find here.
But don't fear, Music Star Academy is goin' to help you build these and sell'em to you. SO for you guys that have been drooling, i will post the DIY Cigar Boox Section later in this blog . so you guys can build'em yourself and we can discuss problems encounter while doin' it.
