Slide Dobro: Brother Dege - Girl Who Wept Stones

[santeriaband]

@letterli Open E, capo'd at 2nd fret.

[fishman017]

This should have about a million more views. Outstanding work.

[thebluelouieband]

Hey, Dege...can I come down and do some jamin with you?

I dont live too far away.

[lukeotron]

This still speaks as strongly as it did almost two years ago. Its time for a follow-up, please.

[jusblaze99]

TUTORIAL....NOW.........please­ lol

[RememberSoCal]

@jonypark hed make bank if he played on the street with his case out. its good to know yall from UK like this music, with all the anti american sentimant goin aroun n all

[jonypark]

@RememberSoCal I think the more open minded we are about each other, its less likely that people would think that way. There's been some solid artists come out of of the US that have changed the history of music just as much as the next person :). As for this anti-american thing, its just certain people being arrogant, embracing is the key, if everybody could do it the world would probably be a better place. Blues forever ;).

[ugo7894]

Are you amplified ? The sound is so clear and pure !

[pos6666666]

@ugo7894 That's just his supernatural powers.

[iPapaSqwat]

Damn Right Son ! Time to spark one up now

[CorneliusMarc]

Wow Dege. You just won over the west coast. Slide is such a perfect source for getting the feelings out. I like open C myself but I think I'll have to give open E a whirl now. Thank you so much for the inspration. I'm just now beginning to see what can truly be done with this style of playing. Thank you again and peace Brother.

[kriskergoff]

Dege, you're great...

[worldishis]

Wow, just amazing.

[fishman017]

Wish I could play like that, great work.

[jeffcook14]

Are there any drums in the recording? My dad and I are having a disagreement over it. I say no, he says yes.

[fishman017]

Excellent work. I wish I could get to this level.

[13Musicmachine]

Very soulfull , I played blues in an abandoned house once with my old band , it was used as a watch tower in the first world war , very creepy feeling but somehow pleasureful , the house got knocked down a few months later , so now all I have is memories:(!

[Constipated1337]

man, I love that aggressive beginning. This song has attitude. You ever considered playing a cigar box guitar?

[TheSacMagique]

Great sound and vision. Respect.

[rentner66]

Great work! Fantastic! Bet wishes from germany

[tomworshipsthecrue]

Dege mate, I got the CD yesterday. I am not disappointed at all. It's stormed straight into my top 10 of all time. Whatever you're doing, don't stop cause you're seriously kicking some ass

[H0LL0WBELLY]

[santeriaband]

[damondrydes]

Peace

Damond Rydes

[stinkingdog101]

This is so cool....kinda gets you by the short hairs.

[FolkSoulRevival]

This is my favorite song off the new cd. I think you should have put that little intro on this song in the album, but still it is awesome!

[SpaceBarbarian]

man i really i hate i missed you playing at the nick in bham. Hopefully i can catch you if you make it back through again. Ill bring my republic and maybe we can have a little session out on the porch

[santeriaband]

@SpaceBarbarian Gonna try to make it back in early 2011

[SpaceBarbarian]

[santeriaband]

@SpaceBarbarian . Will do.

[LucasRicchezza]

Damn i got goosebumps from 00:07 all the way to the end.

[ResidentMax]

I've watched this about a bizillion times and you good sir are the reason I want a dobro, it's just so inspirational.

I'll be spreading the word (well sound) of your music where ever and whenever I can. Thank you so much for sharing this and everything else! If you ever manage to come over to the UK I'll be there!

[santeriaband]

@ResidentMax . Wow. That's nice. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Dege

[gageman70]

I remember when I was watching dobro videos a while back and I watched this but for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was called so I looked at all the videos with dobro in the title in my entire history till I found it...boy am I glad I cause I'm a huge fan

[santeriaband]

@gageman70 . Nice! Thanks for putting in the work.

[hylas99]

Great stuff! Post more! Reminds me of Chris Whitley. Too bad he's gone.

[hylas99]

Great stuff! Post more!

[MrFranciscoFidalgo]

I'd like to hear an acoustic version of this...

[pos6666666]

songs been stuck in my head for two days.

[kingpin7224]

awsome santeriaband nice dobro playing

[satanisticreality]

Now THIS is talent! Friggin awesome song, dude!

[maazzyy19]

hello, in what tone is tuned your dobro?

[santeriaband]

@maazzyy19

Open E, Capo'd at 2nd fret, I think.

[Aprilsamonth]

i don't know how many times ive watched this, or how many people ive shown this to. i honestly think this is his best take-even the one recorded for his cd i think this is the best.

[santeriaband]

@Aprilsamonth - Thanks, dude. I like this version too.

[HeadCase21]

I probably listen to this song on here at least 4 times a day; it is just that great.

[santeriaband]

@HeadCase21 & everybody,

Nice! Thank you.

[pos6666666]

@HeadCase21 Me too.

[odinmp5]

woooooooooooooo this is too cool.

awesome tune and technique.

[fenderosa]

This song is great! Hypnotic.

[AMERICANMETALKICKASS]

Was this house destroyed in Katrina or something?

[santeriaband]

@AMERICANMETALKICKASS . Yes.

[ArkansasGillum]

Really great..Your dobro playing brings a damn tear to my eye sometimes & makes the hair on my neck standup.But.In a good way.....Must be the hillbilly in me..LOL

[BrownBag1136]

How do you feel about making original songs for a film for Lions Gate Films sir? You interested. I'm making a film with them soon and I love your toons.

[santeriaband]

@BrownBag1136 - Check your inbox. Sent you a message. Yes.

[BrownBag1136]

I'm a film maker who is starting to get recognizied. If I get this deal coming up I would like to do some music with you for it because you an under rated bad ass musician. Are you interested? I slightly know Dax, but I personaly think you are better sir.

[rangerocker]

that place sounds great.. i love it. gonna buy myself a slide tomorrow

[olsouth3030]

this makes me want to go buy a resinator guitar and a slide. Bad ass, still can't believe that is a solo act.

[captmcswashbuckle]

i listen to this song like twice a day.

[RadiatorBoy]

I love how you don't try to depress the shit out of people. You make them want to dance.

[ramjam418]

outstanding brother

[wayneintheuk]

had the album about a month now, and it hasn't left the c.d player. great songs and well worth the wait, keep it coming.

[jayfarmer]

Time to get out that ruin and play lots of venues and bars with your great music

[santeriaband]

That's about to start happening.

[pos6666666]

Still one of my favs.

[rangerocker]

[santeriaband]

cdbaby(DOT)/cd/BrotherDege

[stratbreizh29]

Excellent!

[krs121]

[krs121]

Nevermind just found the answer. WOW!! Thats some good sh*t!!!

[stinkingdog101]

WOW ! What else is there to say?

[thebigmusclerex]

BLUES SO ROCKS!!!!

[countrypicker1]

the house defiantly has a great sound and feel too it i wold love to play in there did you see anything inside there?

[holydrewskie]

fantastic

[esmajor]

I grew up listening to classic rock, modern country, never really got into this sound of music till I heard George Thorogood, and this guy! ROCK ON and keep 'em comin! Makes me wanna take up guitar again!

[dannygboyo]

it sounds like the guitar is going through a distorted amp, how do you get that dirty sound on acoustic without amplification, im stunned! peace

[santeriaband]

Secret sound!

[dannygboyo]

aww man... at least give me a clue ;)

[santeriaband]

It's just old and I don't baby it. So it rattles.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

Much love from the UK brother Dege.

[folkman62]

[solomonopoly]

Wow. Keep your third eye on the prize.

Damn good stuff bro.

The ReV

[johanbergenson68]

This tune sends shiverings up my spine... Thanks Dege :-)

[KINGSLIDEGUITAR]

cool!

[TheBitterWeed]

There's alot of average shit out here in youtube land when it comes to dobro, but this is great. Thanks for sharing, and good luck.

[santeriaband]

Thanks, man. And right the F on!

[highassgaboi]

alot of soul great musicianship the only thing that could make you play this great is alot of long hard years of a life that had to be pushed through..... it says alot about you... its nice to see somone playing great songs with great sounds and playing from the heart not from a want of fame... or a giant bank account

[santeriaband]

You are absolutely right. Thanks, Brother HighAssgaboi.

[highassgaboi]

the names cody you accepted me on myspace today.. blue eyes. i play guitar too im not very good but its still a passion of mine and i have had a hard life to so i can connect to your music.

[santeriaband]

[fingercheese]

[pos6666666]

[ellen271]

Whats the tuning? if any one knows

[santeriaband]

Open E. But capo'd on 2nd fret.

[trent7700]

Amazing! Did you sell your soul to the devil? That is so good.

[santeriaband]

Close.

[oliver8587]

hell yeah man ive been playing guitar for a while and ive always loved dobro and after that i think i need to get one

[jakeswi]

you've got soul. I've been playing slide for little over two years now and have debated getting a resonator for a while now... you inspired me to just go out and get one. thank you. your music is inspiring. i stumbled across this about a month ago, and since then checked out alot of your stuff on youtube/myspace, more people need to hear you. If i werent located in new england id be at your shows. love and peace

[santeriaband]

Right on, man! That's why here. Keep fighting the Good fight and sit tight. I should be touring in early '10. New slide/dobro record coming.

Yes,

Dege

Ghosttown, Louisiana

[Maysey1]

Ya love this video, I've been playing my old 29 metal body dobro more and more lately. I got a few posted using this incredible instrument. I love the sound in that old house, a natural sound for both the guitar and foot tapping. Excellent video. This should have been a featured video right after you posted it. LOVED IT!! Mark

[ptchjamie]

Incredible. Thank you.

[Phroggy93]

Nice playing man!^^

Im playing the guitar myself but not slide guitar =( But I would really love to play slide, I just love the sound of it =)

greetings from germany =D

[santeriaband]

RIGHT ON!

[kolialliotto]

this is not a Dobro you goof!

[BigNoseMusic]

what is then?? it looks like a dobro..

[santeriaband]

"Dobro" in the same sense that people refer to a copy as a "Xerox." The brand you play is unimportant; it's what you do with it that counts.

[tiddlywinks98712]

how did u get the dobro to distort?

[santeriaband]

Mind-Power. (or just play it hard...shit'll loosen up)

[santeriaband]

Just loosen the screw up on the cone a bit.

[KtbRios]

Amazing.

[BiggChev]

I've watched this video about 1000 time no lie lol. Absolutely love it, I'm a long time guitarist but this single videohinspired me to learn how to play slide. Respects on the vid, and all the others, but this is my fav!

[Nabeazi]

Lol. mee too BiggChev. I must have watched this vid 1000 times too. Good Shi7

[santeriaband]

Thanks to both of yall. Hearing you speak inspires me in the same way. Unexpectedly. It all goes around, comes around, I guess.

[OnToNeverland]

I'd like to have a dollar for every time I've watched your videos. I'd be rich! ha. I can't get enough of your amazing voice and your dobro =). Keep it up.

[santeriaband]

Right on! More cool shit and guerrilla slide vids on the way.

[peregrinar]

Great sound, strong blues!

Thanks for sharing.

[arroyomusic]

Dude, that is fabulous!

-Arroyo-

[santeriaband]

Right on, Thanks, Arroyo.

[arroyomusic]

Seriously, dude. I am like a shredder guy, and what you playedhit me right here (points to chest)...maybe it was that double decker burger...no, I am sure it was your playing...

[santeriaband]

Nice!

And...oh by the way...I dig me some fucking metal, too.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

I'm back to watch yet again! SIMPLY FAB!

[MattDylan420]

puts a smile on my face knowing there is people like you out there.

[funnycarrot]

is this in open d? great song man

[bbyyaahh]

open E capo 2

[funnycarrot]

thanks. ive got a question. when you put a capo on the second fret of a guitar that is in open d, that guitar is then in open e. so if i put my capo on the fourth fret of my guitar, which is in open d, is that the equivalent of open e second fret? long question i know!

[santeriaband]

I think that'll work. but I'm not sure. I'd have to tune to that key and feel it out. but the math looks correct. Guessing.

Rock,

Dege

[funnycarrot]

thanks dude

[deepcdean]

what brand res. guitar r you playin?

[santeriaband]

It's the only kind I can afford: CHEAP. JT Tursor. Write them fuckers and tell them to give me an endorsement. Cheap fuckers never write me back.

[deepcdean]

Haha I did havent heard a damn thing myself

[racineconservative]

Awesome!

[santeriaband]

Thanks, people.

[ebake74]

Really great video. I love the dobro slide sound and the abandoned house really compliments your style. Great work.

[RonyoBagOdonuts]

Nice Groove Dude!, vid is coool too

[MCjuvinile]

holy shit that's awesome. that abandoned house must have really good acoustics.

[seekercz2]

wow it´s great!

I´ve never heard it before, amazing!

Thanks for sharing

[zulujos]

Again from the displaced Houstonian, great stuff. You would do well at Dan Electros, The Continental Club (if it's still there) or McGonigal's Mucky Duck. My only regret is I have a Nat'l being brought back to Spain when I could"ve saved masive bucks on that J.T. I'll say it again, you are a great SOLO artist.

[67065682]

Great sound,great stuff,great singin'!

[StrappedGypsy]

what kind of guitar you playin brother?

[santeriaband]

It's a cheapo...JT Turser. But it works.

[StrappedGypsy]

i dig them cheapy 6 strings too my man. i dunno how some of these cats can afford their stuff. just done bought me a dobro hound dog, tryna teach myself to slide. cool digs my man

[santeriaband]

I agree. Cheap0's the way to go. Can you imagine any of the pre-war delta guys paying $2000 for a guitar?

[StrappedGypsy]

hah! you know, i was thinkin that exact same thing the other day.

[greezmunky111]

hell no i cant...i play slide on an old 60's harmony w/ a warped neck..haha...but yeah i got a cheapo "galveston"spider bridge dobro too...prefer the harmony cuz the strings are so fucking high,..love the foot stomp bro...

[ariellehunter]

So cool!

[DannyNewman]

Dege does it again! I love this song. Would love it if you'd come play in London :-)

[echristianiii]

This is music,,,,,,years back it was everywhere, dang glad to see someone is keepin' it alive!!

[danzeebar]

buddy i wish i could play that bottle like you.keep um comin big fella

[estudiohighend]

man..... grate, this is a realy spirit of blues,

[nrm333]

wowzers.

[trafficjam10]

What brand of dobro is that?

[CuzenicLionel]

Really great...;-)
