Music that has local roots, will cross international barriers. These blues touched my soul. And I am a Brazilian! I am sure even Martians will enjoy this legit true soulful music.
This is why I fell in love with cigar box guitars. I was already locked into blues music. There can be absolutely no doubt, Steve Arvey is a true Hall of Fame cbg musician and singer. Play on, playa!
This is absolutely incredible. I fell in love with this at the opening note. So as of now I’m a life long Steve Arvey fan. Which is exciting because I now get to start the process of listening to every piece of art this man has created : )
@@SteveArvey I look forward to hearing it all very very much. You have been blowing my mind since I first heard this last night. Between this video, Boogie Blues on the Beach, and your CBG Catfish. I can’t pick a favorite. It’s all amazing and I couldn’t be happier I’ve discovered your work : )
Steve, I clicked on this by chance, and I'm so glad I did. You have an authentic sound that does justice to the music you play, and your voice compliments your playing. Keep carrying that torch, there are people out here that want to hear more. Respect.
@@SteveArveyjust bought my first three sets of strings. I intend to put them on my next three builds but couldn't wait to try them. The box I play is a Fat Bottom Betty box with a 25'' neck and a mini humbucker... They sound fantastic!! I can highly recommend them.
amazing blues singer/player! ive been doing blues guitar 20 years, this guy has got something special. Sometimes he's even got that Howlin Wolf or SRV tone in his voice
I randomly clicked on this video and let me tell you... damn you’re good! I’m a huge heavy metal fan ... never thought I would enjoy this type of music so much... you’re amazing my guy
Just came across this Steve while looking for cigar box guitars and wanted to hear the sound of one being played, having clicked onto your own channel I instantly subscribed after hearing those beautiful slide notes and your great voice, Fantastic music 👍🏻
Man! This is fantastic stuff...I typed cigar box into the search bar hoping to see how they make these things. I found this instead.. unbelievable talent and great music. Thank you sir...from England.
Man this is good. Deep, swampy, blues grooves that you can feel in the bottom of your soul. It somehow feels traditional and contemporary at the same time. The tone you get out of that thing is amazing too. I honestly think this is the best cigar box blues I've ever heard. Steve, I would love it if you could post something breaking down some of these parts for the untalented like me. I sort of managed to figure out some of it on my own but sometimes its tricky to pick out which parts you're playing and which parts are being looped at any given time.
I enjoyed this ..thank you . Especially when the picking changed during the "women from Vicksburg" bit began ...reminicent of Mr Knopflers style . Great tone .
Thank you. CBG’s open up a whole new dimension in music. Limiting yourself to 3 strings makes you very creative. Feel free to check out more videos on my channel.
Well Steve A…….that was fantastic to watch. I’ve been a pro studio/live musician for 40 years and don’t normally watch music on tv or live but your performance here was something else..!! I’ve subscribed to ya. I just bought a 3 and a 4 string CBG’s as I love the sound so I’ll be watching your how to play CBG vids for tips I’ll need to know………cheers AD
@@SteveArvey Thanks Steve, Do you have any instructional videos ? I have built about 20 real nice cigar box guitars and I make my own boxes as well. I can play pretty good on one but just ain't got that sound as you do. I can hear that you also us a looper and I just ordered one. So that may help out allot. Just got to get that bass and rhythm down right on the looper.
Play on Brother , Im 65yrs. And listening to you im 18 again. Can't get enough 😅 I cant get any where ,do anything bodys a bit broken. But not my spirit. I wanted to find a way to catch a shadow of what you give in play and in spirit. Gonna find a 3 string one day soon i hope. And suddenly i have a reason 😮😊

Try building one. It’s pretty simple to make one that will play and sound good, but just a warning, you will probably not be able to stop.
Great stuff... THX. Keeps me going another day.
