In this video, Ben “C. B. Gitty” Baker and Glenn Watt show you the basics of getting your cigar box guitar in tune. Both tuning “by ear” and using a digital tuner is covered, so even if you have no experience with musical instruments or tuning, this video will help you get started. At the end of the video, Ben and Glenn even do a little bit of jamming with their newly-tuned cigar box guitars.

How to Build and Play Cigar Box Guitars and other Homemade Instruments
Great to hear David. Hope you continue to enjoy Cigar Box Guitars!
New to CBG, just purchased one, didn’t realize how much fun it could be to build one.
Very good video. I am on my 1st cigar box guitar and getting ready to string and tune up the first home built guitar. I am having loads of fun. Building is fun, learning to play is going to be challenge. Thanks for all your help..
