My brother came home for a visit over the weekend. He builds cigar box guitars for a hobby. They come out pretty cool. We live quite a distance from each other, so I've only seen most of them on Facebook. He brought four of them with him as gifts.
He gave me one with a humbucker pickup. Four strings with red oak neck and fretboard, and little skull shaped tuners. It's very cool.
I need help. It came tuned to some chord, but had lost its pitch at some point. I tried tuning it like a normal guitar, but didn't like it. I now have it tuned to open G, like the middle four strings of a six string. I can't play slide, and I have no experience playing in open tuning. Please, any advice is welcome.
So far I'm having fun picking on it and trying to learn. He gave one to another friend of his who is a better player than I am. He plugged into my amp and played slide with the back of a folding knife. It sounded awesome. Thanks.
