How to Play Slide Guitar & Dobro : How to Play Hawaiian Music on Slide Guitar

[Akaankh]

This is the first Expert village video that s actually helpfull I see.

[Guitarfan1995]

Does this style have to be played on a slide guitar or would an electric guitar still make that sound to a certain extent?

[Muzikman127]

[itemnumbernine]

that fullscreen caption is so distracting i didn't watch the whole thing

[Ghostblaz3]

it loooooks easier then it is xD 

[caralhosvosfodam]

which tuning is this please?

[Nelsiebaby]

Dobro tuning is GBDGBD(low to high). It differs from the open G guitar tuning (DGDGBD) in that it allows the player to use harmony notes of 3rds and 6ths throughout the full range of the instrument.

[nirvanafrik]

@caralhosvosfodam Open G

[Fozzy757]

@nirvanafrik im actually doing this in open D and its working out.

[nirvanafrik]

@Fozzy757 That's the same thing, just another scale.

[caralhosvosfodam]

which tuning is it sir?

[Mazeltof90]

Thanks for the lesson!

I have a quick question: can you play these licks your are playing in any open major tuning? or is it something special about open C that will do the trick when it comes to the hawaii style?

[freemancarl]

What A Great Music!!! :)

[TheMateoGuitar]

"Dobro" on Croatian means "good" :))

[caralhosvosfodam]

Anyone knows what is the thing he is using to slide down the frets called??

[ashish9670]

Its a steel bar.

[walrusgh]

a slide.

[dulcimerplr]

A slide is used on a regular guitar, and your finger goes inside it. What he's using is called a Tone Bar. There are several types. Pedal Steel players use very heavy ones, most Hawaiian players use lighter ones, but both mostly use round bullet-shaped bars. Most Bluegrass players use a slightly different style with grooves in the side for your fingers. More info can be had at the HSGA web site. Google HSGA, it should come up.

[infodiff]

its called weight... or rod.

@Brotherh00d:

A slide?..

[Dratini999]

Great!!!

I have a question: do I need a special lap slide guitar or does a normal slide guitar work as well?

[evsynator]

I bought two flat edged bone pieces ( I forget what the pieces are called ) at a bluegrass festival from one of the stalls ... they replace the curved ones at the top and bottom of your guitar .. so I was able to turn my spare guitar into a dobro kind of thing . Obviously I dont get the full volume ... but its great for me to practice and saved me buying another instrument and then finding out I wasted even more money again ...

[Dratini999]

Thanks a lot ^^

[darrell7491]

Hi,beautiful sound,what kind of dobro and tuning.Thanks

[wdeadman49]

Beautiful Sound!! I always love to hear a beautiful steel guitar playing and this is beautiful as well.

[stratguy123456]

thats like a nice lazy happy style. Thats cool, that show what a wide diversity there is to play with slide.

[jessupar]

Im resonably sure the lat style dobro instrument was created after seeing hawaian people playing a similar instrument, so you have your history backwards, or perhaps i do, but im pretty sure im right.

[msteeln]

Thanx for perpetuating the STEEL GUITAR.

Slide is what folks like Johnny Winter do on a standard guitar.

[tab1990]

is this standard tuning

[WEIRDALROXMYSOX]

No, Probably open G, most common open tuning on dobro/resonator.

[STLcardinals888]

cool!

thanks for the vid!
