How To Play Bye Bye Love (The Everly Brothers) on 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

This is my 3 string Cigar Box Guitar version of the classic Bye Bye Love, which was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and was a big hit for The Everly Brothers in 1957. It has been recorded by lots of other artists, including Connie Francis, Roy Orbison, The Bellamy Brothers, and more…

As always a few compromises have been made and I have transposed my version to the key of G to make it easier to play on CBG, but I think it sounds pretty good and I hope you agree.
