On this website, you’ll find albums and videos featuring recordings made on 3 string guitars. These sounds from the past are an invitation to step back in time, like wandering through an old ghost town in the 1880s, filled with suspense, mystery, and whispers just beyond hearing.
All of the music was recorded on homemade three- and four-string guitars. No standard guitars were used in these recordings.
This album is $14 instant download. These mp3 songs play on any computer, phone, or digital device.
Something old and something new… something vintage… and something blues!
I think that’s how the saying goes?
Probably not, but I just wanted to have some fun with these recordings. There’s a whole world of soundscapes made possible by using old and outdated recording gear, especially vintage microphones. Each new album becomes another opportunity to try something new, using the same old tools
Three string guitars are fun and easy to play. It's much easier to learn how to play a cigar box guitar than it is to learn how to play on a regular 6 string guitar.
Early Blues and slide guitar that was played on these homemade instruments was created by people who most often didn't know any form of music theory or what musical chords and keys were. Many of them could not even read the written word.
If the musicians who played Blues music in the 1880's didn't know music theory or complicated math, then neither do you. You do not need to learn chords or complicated music structure to play great sounding blues music on a 3 string guitar.
In this video I will explain the method of how to play guitar by feeling and ear. These lessons will teach you in a simple and easy manner how to play guitar that sounds like it's from the past. It doesn't matter what your age is or how well you can or can't use your hands or fingers. If you can use a computer keyboard, you too can play a 3 string guitar.
Watch this short video below, you will see that these guitars don't require much effort to play. Slide guitar is basically just one finger guitar with a few plucks here and there. You can let the guitar work for you because the tone of the instrument is so unique.
When I was in my teens, I was totally fascinated with learning how to play the guitar. I tried to learn from many teachers. I had a very skilled guitar teacher, but when he spoke it was so confusing to me. He spoke clearly, but it was all just too perplexing for my ears.
I was not the type of person who could grasp, "it's a G chord with this note as the root, or it's with a minor 7th,...or it's an F#" and so on.
I remember thinking to myself, "How am I ever going to learn?"
I also found it too hard and frustrating to learn by trying to memorize fretboard maps or layouts with charts and dots from math that I didn't understand in the first place. I just wanted to be able to enjoy learning how to play the guitar.
As for me, I love hearing that old time deep southern blues. It makes me feel like I've been transported back into the past to a simpler time long ago. So in the end, I have spent 30 years studying and learning many different guitar techniques and styles. In the process, I've learned how to play guitar by feeling and ear. I can now teach you how to play the same way.
This vido is not like the other standard "hard to learn" guitar courses
In this video,
NO math is involved
NO scientific music theory
These lessons are different. I will explain how to play guitar using easy to understand terms and concepts so you can play and create your own music that will sound compelling and moving to hear.
These lessons have been broken down into small easy to learn step-by-step building blocks that we will then put together to achieve an authentic old time vintage sound. With just a little patience and practice, you'll be able to create dramatic and captivating music without using difficult math or any music theory.
Imagine a time long ago and a farmer sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch after a long days work in the fields. He's holding in his hands a homemade guitar that was made out of an old used cigar box and some scraps of wood.
He's just sitting there relaxing and not thinking too hard about how to create music. He didn't have a computer or cell phone to compare himself to others. He's just sitting there playing guitar on a breezy afternoon without a care in the world. He's having fun and entertaining himself playing songs that his heart and ears can enjoy. If he can do it, so can you.
These guitars are rewarding to play. Anyone can learn to play one with just a little time and patience.
