How to Play Muddy Waters on Cigar Box Guitar

Muddy Waters was one of my very first heroes when I was introduced to the blues.  He had the swagger and the bravado like no other man who has walked this earth.  
He also had a badass guitar technique played with reckless abandon.
After making my first cigar box guitar almost 25 years ago, I realized that a lot of Muddy's early electric blues easily converted to 3-string slide cigar box guitar, tuned Open G (GDG).  In fact, most of Muddy's early material on Aristocrat and Chess records was recorded in the key of G.  (Thank you for that, Muddy...)
