I was reading how old blues artist learned to play guitar on these 1 and 3 string home made instruments. Well I called BS . I built one and that turned into building and selling 150 😳 in the process I actually started learning music theory on these little instruments . Scales , chord structure and progression started making sense . Still , I could not play guitar 😕 . I stumbled across this site two weeks ago . Going to give it a shot and see what happens .
