Known as the King of the Cigar Box Guitar, Shane Speal is universally recognized as the prime mover of the Cigar Box Guitar cult, a man who has made it his life’s crusade to spread the word and promote the popularity of CBGs. - Premier Guitar Magazine
Shane your very generous in taking the time to help spread the blues and giving away cbg former board member of the northeast blues society
Good idea showing this on fretted and non-fretted setups. Turn-arounds really make a song pop.
Just realized my foot was tapping to MY heartbeat. I picked up my fretted guitar tuned to GBD and just played the bottom D string, like you said before, just go for it. I liked the harmony and I was just playing by ear. First time. Thank you, Shane.
Still watching Shane’s old stuff it’s awesome 😎
Greeting Shane From England 👋🏼 your videos was where it all started on my cigar box guitar Journey! Keep them coming 👏🏼
@shanespeal I never realised until now just how important rhythm is to music genres. Rhythm hand, note/chord hand...easy peasy, lemon-squeezy, thank you, oh mighty one!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Finally something contagious we can be happy about.
Thanks Shane for getting back to blues basics for old hackers like me. Been building for a few years now and I need to spend more time learning by a process instead of just random lick and tricks. Keep the fretless blues lessons coming.
I’m with ya Tom!
Lesson 2, oh yeah! I haven't cut a class yet, this the best University I have ever attended. Don't tell me I can't go back to school, I'm only 72 years old, and playing the CBG makes me feel like it's 1967 all over again, and I'm back in my dorm room as a Freshman art student. You ain't just a Perfesser, you be Dean Speal, head of the School of Bluesiosity! Bring on Lesson 3!!!!!!!
I love how you broke this down into very nice bite sized chunks. Thank you.
Easy to make the strum practice sound like playing the blues. Thanks Shane.
Again, taught the way I prefer. Individual goals taught and reviewed, then blended together into a smooth lesson. Then, a preview of some future steps.
Having trained and taught individuals with developmental disabilities and brain injuries, I find this method to be very successful for imparting new skills to beginners!
Great combo with your last video
Another great video lesson for the ultra beginner. I really like your focus on the picking hand as my experience with other video lessons is that they leave you guessing on what to do with the picking hand. Please keep the Blues University lessons coming. Thank you so much. BE Well!!!
More gold from the King! Nicely presented Mr. Speal!
Thanks 🙏 for the beginner lessons I watch them over and over!
School weren't like this when I was a kid. Thanks professor.
Thanks ! You really have the knack for explaining and demonstrating in a way a new player can see and understand.
Thanks for all you do to promote the cult of theCBG!!! I just got building poor mans guitars and am working on my first guitar, so next step is learning to play it. So I'm enrolling in blues university!
Again, great basic riffs. This rundown must be used on hundreds of blues tunes and is a must-have lick for playing blues. Combined with your 12-bar lesson you have enough to begin to impress your friends. Nice work!
Also, the use of a slide guitar is a great idea. No real need to worry about fretting for good old time blues, a slide and three strings does it all. Thanks!
Impress your friends, get the girl!
Again, I really appreciate you teaching the "smaller" things, they all add up and add to your blues arsenal.
I appreciate you including for fretted as well as fret less. I am still figuring out how to work the slide 1 handed. Your lessons are great!
Shane, i just started playing during the pandemic, and you're the reason I've been able to stick with it and progress. Thank you! These vids are the perfect setup for a visual learner like myself, keep em coming!
Even if you have some playing experience, it is always vital to go back to the basics! Thanks for this...so much fun!
More great stuff - thoughtfully presented, no assumptions made about the skill level of the viewer. Thanks!
Loved this one too! You have taken the funnest instrument in the world and opened up a bunch of possibilities. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for these lessons, Shane. It's basic building blocks and I look forward to seeing what's up the pipe. Keep up the good work.
Great stuff Shane, England needs you...
Thank you! I always appreciate your smile and positivity 😎 You are a natural teacher!
I am about to get brave enough to go with a fretted 3 stringer...thank you for keeping me intrigued. Thanks for the slide tutorials.
Great video Shane - probably your best yet for complete beginners like me. You've really slowed things down and shown the fretting and the picking clearly and in close up. Too man - you're a legend!
The close up on the picking and fretting is exactly what I needed. Great lesson.
I’ve been messing with my CBG around three years now I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the lessons !!! I king slide everything because I have arthritis in both thumbs so I can’t press on the back of the neck to play with my fingers !!! Just keep on keeping on Brother 🎸
Thanks Shane. You got me started playing 3 strings. Great lesson!!!
Running down the Blues intro! Love It! Keep up the lessons!
Shane, just purchased my first CBG. Been playing guitar for 45 years, mainly 12 string acoustic. Simply have fallen in love with the CBG! Can't seem to put it down. Your lessons have been a godsend. It is really a different animal but you make it so fun to play.
I like how you take you time explaining how exactly you are strumming. A lot of videos I have watched I have no idea what strings are being strum or what pattern is being used. You explain everything, so even someone like me can understand. Thanx
Sometimes I have to give myself cue cards ahead of time so I can remember which notes I’m actually playing! LOL
Another great lesson! Thanks for taking the time to create and post these videos; breaking the riffs down into their simplest parts helps it all make sense.
Great teaching video Shane!
Another great video Shane! I like how you spent time on the picking hand and slide hand. I need to keep practicing my picking. More future videos with equal time on the picking will be appreciated! Thanks Shane!
Oh yeah, another day at the University; thanks to the Spealmeister🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You’re the person that inspired me with CBG in the first place and you’re who I turn to when I need some help to keep going! Thanks for all you do!
I'd sure like to see more about fretted vs unfretted, especially in regards to slide use. Thanks!
You rule man! It seems easy in the way you teach us. I don't need to slow down the playback speed in youtube. So I like it. That's the right way for me to learn something from you, master. I think the properly way is having a CBG. So, think of me, or I have to build my very first one, here, in Spain. I was also thinking about buying a kit from "gitty" as example, and test how does go the transit from US to Spain, without forgetting the customs issues...
Hi Shane, I really appreciate these easy learning blues videos, especially when you slow them down and show the individual strings and use close-ups. Using a contrasting pick really helps me as I’m viewing your videos using my Magnifier as I’m severely site impaired. Gary
Shane really has the licks. And now I need a 3 string!
You’ve always ‘set the standard’ for home grown guitars & CBG music. Keep it coming!!!! Bring in some guests as well!!!!’
KEEP TEACHING BROTHER, WE ARE LISTENING N LEARNING. THANKYOU.
Thanks for these segments their very helpful for us that are rythmicly challenged and in need of some direction.
finally, I video I don't have to slow down to keep up with. I'm getting betterish.
Thanks for the lesson! Keep the blues lessons coming!
You do the best video's to help a beginner get started!! Thanks
These are amazing videos. It is like your showing a lot of patentince so even an old guy can get it. I feel these are going o be my best asset to learning.
I appreciate the clear and thorough explanation of techniques...picking, rhythm, etc. Great lesson.
Chapeau Monsieur Speal! Merci beaucoup for the awesome lessons! It’s great fun! You’re a benevolent teacher!
Thanks, Shane! Another great lesson!
MY FAVORITE BLUES TEACHER
My favorite blues student!
Sweet! Really enjoying the licks, thanks for taking a moment to show slide playing on fretted guitar. Excellent content Shane, Thank you, Thank you!! Lets jam \m/
Thank you for these tutorials. It is brilliant to start at the actual start!
Another great video. Thanks for kicking it back for us new people!
Another great video to help people learn how to play CBG.
You hit it out of the ball park Shane, with the Blues university lessons.
Great lesson Shane. Thank you for making it so easy.
great addition to first video.Thank you Shane!
Too great- This is what got me into Cigar box guitars to start with (The blues).
great stuff Shane, always good to review the basics
Shane you are a very very good man. You made this video one of the best tutorials ever with your deep attention to details. I can't wait to go home and practice!!!
Thanks again for a great video Shane. finally able to bring the blues home!
Love it! Thank you Shane! I’m learning so much! And I love me some blue! Please please keep those videos coming!
Great Video Shane! I really need to put down the fretted CBG and learn how to play it fret less! I definitely have no excuse now you have shown exactly what to do!
Kind of like a reverse turnaround? Great video series. Love the giddybucker!!!
I did this lesson before the blues university lesson one, and I'm glad I did. This turnaround is a lot more fun and melodic than the 12 bar chug. It makes learning the "tip of the slide on the middle string" technique more enjoyable. I've made some modifications to my nut and hambone slide which have helped get less buzz on the open strings.
Thanks for the excellent tution, can't wait to try it out on my homemade 3 stringer!
Great video. You have definitely put me down the right path learning to play a cigar box guitar. Please keep the lessons coming. Great products online as well.
Hello from the UK.
Great videos Shane I'm learning loads 🤘
Great job! When I first got this turn around down really made a lot of things come together.
Thanks Shane Always look forward to my next lesson.
Great Job! Lesson 1 flows into Lesson 2
Great videos! I really like the way you show Fretted and Unfretted.
Love this! Love how you break it right down. Thank you so much 😊
Sweet opener lesson !!!!🔊
This lesson along with the first Blues University video has really got me rocking! I can’t wait to see what I learn next.
Thanks Shane. The picking pattern made all the difference in the sound and ease of the riff. Really good !
Liked these videos even better with a Gitty bucker don't ya know ! Got room at home for one more !! :)
Great follow up to the first one. Thanks for both vids.
More good stuff to practice. Thank you.
Morning Shane, You have really made this old fart Smile, making the blues easy to play is such a great thing to do. Please keep it going for all us complete beginners and learners of all levels.
Sounds very cool! Thanks for breaking it down so well.
thanks-you make learning the CBG easy
I truly enjoy your videos they are a great aid in my learning how to better play and build.
Outstanding. I have been at this for several months and I’ve been watching your lessons. Thank you I’ve learned an awful lot from you.
Killing these instructional videos good Sir!
Awesome video that breaks everything down with the perfect explanation on what to do (and very important also what not to do). This is the kind of content I crave since it teaches me something I have never done before.
Nothing wrong with "...it may be tedious for a while..." since it's the best way to learn.
Awesome stuff! After doing solo acoustic shows for years, CBG has refreshed my passion for music. Really enjoying learning new techniques. Thank you!
Great stuff! You made it very clear and easy to learn. Thanks.
Love it so much! Your enthusiasm is inspiring and life changing!
very cool lick, I am going to work on this tonight
Thanks Shane, I was really struggling as a complete beginner and was starting to think about giving up but you are a great teacher and have restored my interest. Thank you 👍
Thanks for thinking of us Noobs. I appreciate the lessons. No CBG yet but I am hoping.
Great Lesson. Thanks Shane.
Love it, classic blues opening! Please keep making more of these videos!
