You play a dobro just like any other lap resonator guitar.

Thank you for the lesson. I am looking to purchase my first Dobro soon, and I am doing my best to try to figure out if I should get a round or square neck. Which one would you choose? Also, for a beginner, what brand would you choose? There are so many to choose from. I found a round neck JOHNSON JR-200, a Hound Dog Squareneck Dobro Guitar and a Trinity River DOBRO RESONATOR SQUARE-NECK. Which one would you choose? I am so very confused. Your help is greatly appreciated. :-)
