Check out this amazing cigar box guitar performance. The guitar player is Kyle Reid and his playing really captures that Old Time Delta Blues sound.
If you want to learn to play great 3 string guitar, he puts on a clinic for sure, just watch, study and listen, there is so much to learn just by listening and watching this video. I promise you will be left speechless.
