A lot of the time I just mindlessly wander from video to video. At the end of the day there's nothing worth remembering. Then there are days like today. What a talent, catchy and completely enjoyable. Yeah I subscribed, thanks for the grin on my face
why is it, that the really good country music players are from Europe? Great pickin' man! I've tried dabbling in dobro, but always come back to my true love, the upright bass. Check out Sugarball Express.
MR. GROSS thank you for hte viedo it is one of my favorite songs of all blues style .I wish i could play the reso like you. I play 6 and 12 regular but the new reso my kids got me is different for sure. you are the stuff thank you sir.just a country boy from tennessee.
This is great, I've been looking for a good example of that fine dobro sound. I'm getting one myself this week. I'm feeling competent enough on my cigar box and lap steel so this is my next venture :). Do you make all of your own backing tracks? If so, is there anyway i could purchase, or get a couple of these on selected songs mainly this and man of constant sorrow. If you can Martin that would be absaloutly fantastic.
Mr. Gross you are fabulous my dad plays dobro and banjo would you please check out our videos on you tube ecspecially workin man blues and house of rising sun we have 21 videos feel free to check them out let us know what you think. Hillbillie Express
Try to get here A Simple Prayer of Dave Weckl Band, from album Synergy, It´s most beatiful ballad played by Buzz Feiten (one of greatest guitarist) on acoustic.
Awesome rendition of this ole standard! Just love those bluesy undertones, that a way to go! Uncle Josh will be smilin' from ear to ear in his heaven! And Mike Auldridge and Jerry Douglas will probably feel the competition breathing up their neck! Keep that dobro 'chimeing' & you'll soon be a household name! Damn it, so inspiring that I might even dust off my ole National again! Stay with it! Best, Hank C...
Do you know the feeling when you are trying hard to improve a little and you see something that makes you want to go and put and axe to your axe...... That's what this did to me! EXCELLENT
absolutely amazing as ever .love listening to you play and you are easily as good as ickes and the rest no problem.my favourite player.thankyou for your dedication amazing
Is it smart to buy a Dobro without knowing how to play? I've tuned a guitar to 'G' to get the feel, and now wanna learn. Would like the dobro sound in my family bluegrass band...
Martin...I have two Original Gibson hound dog dobros. A round neck and a square neck and cant play a damn lick on either one of them so I guess I'll just sit back and have a glass of wine and listen to you pick. I can feel your music down in my dog goned soul.....wow.
Man, I just love your playing. I've been meaning to pick up dobro for a couple years now and still haven't done it. I play mountain dulcimer along with many others instruments and have a good understanding of music so maybe I'll pick it up pretty easy when I start. Keep playing man, just lovin it. Later
Crisdee, there are so many different ways to pick a note. It depends on how hard you pick it, on how far from the bridge you pick it and what you are doing with the steel bar after you pick it. There are so many ways to create a tone on the reso.
dam bro your good. Are you from the U.S.? you play alot of bluegrass very well. And if so go to Nashville. one more thing I agree with the others play the whole song I love the way you play. Mark
Good job as usual Martin, I have picked up many pointers from you as well as Ikes, Douglas and Auldridge.Please play Ruben for us.We would all like to hear it.
