Really great feel and playing, and what a superb tone from your vintage dobro. Fantastic! Greetings from Scotland.

[robadobro]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I appreciate it!

[MusashiChanFR]

You are so far from all the other flat covers ont the Tube ! Excellent, you have really nice licks, in open D, not the easiest for this tune. And what to say on your original Weiss...the Tony Francis is really great too, but what a mojo on this one !

So thanks for posting your music, i spent a good time on YourTube !!!

[Guitarbque]

Man oh man...you gave me chills!!! I've been playing guitar for 35+ years...and finally picked up a Lap Steel a few weeks ago. Wish you lived in Vegas...so that I could take lessons from you! GREAT PLAYING-God Bless !!

[quer94]

[robadobro]

Close your eyes and just listen....so reminiscient of real early recordings. Wonderful tone.

(You'd make a cracking living playing in the London underground bud).

[nationalguitarplayer]

This is the best sounding Lapsteel I've heard on Utube! Great playing too, real nice feeling to that version! Love it. Can I ask you the brand of the guitar or who made it? Keep on Sliding! Mike :)

[thecapersdaughter]

very nice, very different.

[ghostgal30e]

Fabulous Thanks for sharing

[metalcore929]

Fantastic stuff man.

[DAVEBLISS2007]

Very nice playing, but the sound is a little dull, maybe a bit of reverb on the mix would lift it out more. I would also add a small tremolo / vibrato from like a Fender amp. It wopuld sound real swampy then!!! Best wishes.

[GuitarWhisperer]

Dude, it's not an electric. This guitar has a great full, woody tone, very pure and piano-like. Reminds me a little of a dulcimer. PLENTY of room reverb. Too much reverb would muddy the tone immensely, ruining the vibrato, and making the tones less distinct. GREAT sounding instrument, and good playing as well.

[malachigreenidge]

loving this version dude..God Bless!

[lenbenhear]

well done ! ... a real keeper. ~ a bluesie kind of AMAZIN' GRACE !

[hotfirecaster]

Great interpretation of this timeless tune.

Congrats!

Chris

[SamGoldsmith]

[robadobro]

It's a style 1 Weissenborn guitar from the mid-1920's.

[SamGoldsmith]

haha wow thats a keeper for sure hahaha

[GuitarWhisperer]

GREAT sounding instrument, my friend!

[jayespangler]

@robadobro such nice sound from your wessenborn ...... I love them .... you bring out the best in it also

[BenWannaBee]

Hey Rob. Great vid and website. I really appreciate the work you do. A question for you. Do you have the tabs for this? Also, is the tuning DADF#AD? I know its in D, but I can't tell if that is an F#

[robadobro]

I don't have tabs for this, but technique wise it's a slow blues using the low D string as a drone; in some ways similar to what I do for Feelin' Bad Blues (which is tabbed out on my website)

It's standad D tuning (DADF#AD)

Thanks for the nice comments

Regards,

Rob

@BenWannaBee (I have played this song for many, many years) - If you want to play it in the key of D - here are the chords - D, D7, G, Bm, E7, A, and A7.

Your tone is outstanding, I agree with hollowneck, VERY deep feeling indeed. Keep em' comin'!

[hollowneck]

Rob, your playing on this is so soulful, I found the same vid on your site a while back & it blew me away!... a truly beautiful interpretation.

[daddystovepipe]

I wish I had some of your "less than perfect" chops - very nice and inventiveplaying to my ears!

[robadobro]

Thanks, I really like your playing as well! There are definitely a few gaffs in the clip, but I guess I liked some of the ideas enough to post it anyway...
