I've heard several renditions of this tune and I can say you have done a fine job.

what Neck Is that One! trying to Figure Out If I should Get the roundneck or the Squareneck one? thanks

[OldSlidePicker]

@DSMLEAF It's a roundneck, originally called a "Spanish" style guitar. It can be played without any kind of slide, just like any regular guitar. The squareneck, or "Hawaiian" style can't be played that way. It's played horizontally, or "lap style," with a "steel" sliding on the strings. The strings are about 3/8" above the fretboard. It's a "steel guitar." The heavy square neck can take more string tension than a round neck. Squarenecks are popular for bluegrass music. Both are cool instruments.

@OldSlidePicker Thanks im looking at a spanish style one to buy. Only been playing guitar for almost a year but picked up a blues and folkish style fast so im trying to keep my playing in the delta blues style and i really like the way the Rogue Resonator  or any resonator sound. once again thanks and video sounds good

Wow your good! This rogue sounds great I'm suprised I've been wanting to play dobro for a fee Years but they Cost so much.i've played guitar for 15 years I think I'll pick the rogue up soon.

[OldSlidePicker]

@eatthemoon13 Thanks! This is a really inexpensive guitar, but mine looks, plays and sounds great! So does the Rogue Brass Classic Biscuit Resonator I have. Bought both of them when they went on sale on the Stupid Deal of the Day. If you watch it every day, eventually they'll do it again I'm sure.

[eatthemoon13]

@OldSlidePicker Thank you i got money to get one now. But cant decide between the spider or biscuit.

[OldSlidePicker]

@eatthemoon13 Just an opinion: I think the spider is more versatile. it's got much more sustain. It sounds great playing sweet melodic stuff at slow tempos. It has this cool "hollow" sound that's really heard when you slide up. Biscuit's twangier sounding with much less sustain. Has a harsher, tinnier sound, a bit like a banjo. Its more traditional for old time blues, but you can play good blues on either.

[OldSlidePicker]

@eatthemoon13 TODAY Musicians Friend has the Rogue Classic Brass Resonator (Biscuit) on the Stupid Deal of the Day at $250! That's a terrific price! The number on sale will be limited, don't think about it too long.

[autopsy87]

@OldSlidePicker what kind of strings do you use?

[OldSlidePicker]

@autopsy87 Cheap ones. I can't remember whether or not I'd changed the strings when I recorded this. I don't think so. They'd be the 80/20 brass or "bronze" strings that came on it. Bought some more of the cheapo Musicians Gear "bronze" 13s and put on it. I think the originals were 12s.
