We just added sound clips to go along with each of the tunings in the Open G “GDG” Tuning Article, so you can hear what each string combination sounds like when strung up on a cigar box guitar! All four of these clips were recorded on the same cigar box guitar, using the actual strings/gauges recommended in the article. Enjoy!

New Cigar Box Guitar Glossary feature here on CigarBoxguitar.com!
We recently installed a Glossary add-on to the site here at CigarBoxGuitar.com, which allows us to define key terms and concepts related to cigar box guitars. The neatest feature is that it will automatically highlight (via a dotted underline) any of these defined terms it finds in articles and posts. So if you are reading an article where scale length is mentioned, and you don’t know what scale length is, just mouse over it and a pop-up will appear with the definition! The glossary can also be browsed separately, and we will be adding a page/link to assist with that.
There are a LOT of terms to define, and we are chipping away steadily at it, so this resource will only get better as time goes by. We hope you find it useful!
