- Songs Inside The Box is a documentary film that takes viewers to the world's largest concert of cigar box guitar music and provides a unique glimpse into a popular hobby and growing movement of self expression participants call the cigar box guitar revolution.
You’ll meet the King of the Cigar Box Guitar and some of his troops from the front lines of the revolution. They’ve made musical instruments from things most people throw away and they’ve written songs inspired by the twanging sounds their treasured boxes produce. Along the way, they’ve discovered secrets hidden deep inside themselves that they couldn't have tapped into otherwise.
The Internet has connected hobbyists, amateur songsters, and professional musicians who share an interest in cigar box guitars and for one day each year they gather for a concert at the Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza in Huntsville, Alabama. Scientists, surgeons, and salesmen all take the stage and express themselves through the songs they've found inside a little wooden box.
I love the slide guitar sound of the cigar box guitars. I want to try it myself.
Don't forget Seasick Steve as a bad ass example of the possibilities.
Awesome he's a legend already . Along with Del Puckett along with Michael Southern Fire Guitars all awesome builders .Now I build .
And now... I too shall build.
@@tybell1994 I shall also now build!
Thank you ,an excellent view into the world of the Cigar Box Guitar.
I just built my first one yesterday. I’m hooked. Cost me some wood glue and some old guitar strings.
This was fantastic and is only feeding my addiction as i dive into delta blues and slide guitar
Awesome documentary on these fine instruments! So glad I watched this!
Great Documentary thank you Shane Speal Richard Johnston John Lowe Ben Prestage and all the torch carriers
Thank you Blues Boy jag for my first guitar ( it turns 5 in March 2024) it sounds so good acoustically and I never hardly plug in but it's burning hot single coils stand up and take names when I do,,I thank you forever💜🔥
Love Shane's raga scale !!
I took guitar lessons as a kid in the '60's but my teacher had no interest in rock'n'roll so I quit (I hated those Mel Bay instruction books). In the mid 2,000's I came across Shane and thought "whoaaaa, that's the ticket!" Now I build'em, I give'em away, I sell'em AND I play rock'n'roll!!
Got the bug have built 9 still learning to play 😎
Fantastic!! Great Job.

Hi Michael, I'm not an instrument builder myself. I'm just a filmmaker who found the subject interesting. There is a lot of information online. Here are some places to start:

How did get they get Hank Hill to narrate this documentary??
The narrator is actually Dr. Bill Foster of Florence, Alabama. The documentary was prepared for broadcast on Alabama Public Television and many people here in Alabama knew Bill through his music. www.timesdaily.com/archives/bill-foster-renowned-actor-musician-and-teacher-dies/article_595bc799-abaa-5027-9f27-a084e3ba0710.html
"Propane... Is a beautiful thang!"
Does anyone know where i could get the full song Gerry Thompson sings. "Slap me mommy"
I know it was on a CD, but now that Gerry has passed away I'm not sure how one would get a copy of the CD.
@@MaxShores Thanks for the response, i have always liked it and never been able to find it.
STEVE ARVEY IS NOT TOO BAD EITHER.
Does his speaker covering at 3:38 really say "KILL ERIC CLAPTON" ? WFT?!
U always sound out of tune not that good
