Step 8: Play!
Just as there's no "standard" tuning for a cigar box guitar, there's no official way to play it. Feel free to mess around with tuning , making your own chords, etc. Shane Speal has a series of videos (part 1, part 2, part 3) teaching some basics of cigar box guitar playing. There are lots of other resources out there if you look.
Below are a couple mp3's to show what my guitar sounds like, and a video demonstrating some of its features. At the end you can see my version of "Save Me" by Seasick Steve (who plays the blues with his one-string diddley bow and his three string guitar).
