Thanks for bleedin' it to the dozens, Mark!

All,
The lesson posted is just one of 4 I recorded this morning. Make sure to click the link to see them all. They're all located at http://www.cigarboxnation.com , the epicenter of the growing Cigar Box Guitar Movement.

Stay primal,
Shane Speal

Isn't this a cigarbox mountain dulcimer? The tuning scheme - 1-5-1, with the 1-5 used mostly as drones and the melody played on the top string - is pretty much the mountain dulcimer. Usually played on the lap, but, still.
