  • I will try to do that real soon.

  • I love the sound of the dobro

    I didn't know it was that easy to play

    Good Job

  • I hope you check out all my videos.I hope to add new vids soon...Carl

  • Thank you for demistifying the Dobro for me!

    I just love that sound and am saving up to get one, can't make up my mind on a flat-played square neck or a round neck so I can play it like a regular acoustic...

    Thanks for the good lesson!

  • I'm glad you enjoyed my site.Good picking ....Carl

  • I've been scouring the internet for information on a Dobro, and looking to see if I really want one, or if I'm just telling myself it sounds cool. This video made me decide that I need one.

    Out of curiousity - is there a model (from what I understand, I would have an easier time with a square neck) that you would recommend, around $400 or less?

    Thanks,

    Eric

  • I'm not an expert,but i have been playing guitars for 30+ yrs..I think a square neck will give you a little more sustain and hold its tuning a little better.Personally i wouldn't go too cheap or you will be discouraged by the sound and playability..The offshore Beard gold tone is highly recommended for a good sounding and playing reso,also if it tured out it was not what you wanted to play,it would still have a good resale value..A cheap model wont...Carl

see all

  • hello mate,hope you doing fine,i have converted my ozark resonator guitar to dobro and i have played my first tune with my home made compfortable steel slide ,i can make them where i work,i am sending you my first attempt at a tune ,a rolling stones tune,i,m not up to bob wills standerd yet,i will have to wait a few more hours for that lol,cheers ,your buddy jakethefiddle uk.

  • thanks buddy

  • you got the same voice of john locke from lost!. very good the video!

  • Its David Lynch!

  • hi ,thanks for the vid ,tuning it up is very informative for me because i play by ear,i have a type of dobro at home but its set up as a normal guitar on the nut but after watching you having such a good time with this tuning i think i will make a new nut made from the bones of my lamb chop lunch,cheers ,jake the banjo .

  • I've just bought a resonator.... quite a learning curve...

    I have watched a lot of dobro videos, but yours really gave me the "heads up" I was looking for. Thank you for sharing

  • I am a beginner and I am trying to learn your Wabash Cannonball version. I get lost on the D picking and which strings you are picking. Don't suppose you can do another clearer video? Or write this down like they do in some of the beginner books- showing you what strings to pick.

  • I'm getting this sheet music

  • In my country(Russia) word dobro means good?too!!))))))

  • i wanna be just like you when i get older. You are a fun guy :) I wonder what do you do for fun except playing the guitar. :) Peace man.

  • FlyingA, Thanks for your video, I am just learing the basics and I find you video informative and encourgeing. You have taken some of the stress out of learing and replaced it with joy, Thank you again!

  • yeah, like "dobro jutro = good morning, dobar dan = good day"...dobro sam means I'm fine.

    Nice video and awesome sound, thanks to flyinga40 :)

  • In my language, Czech, means "dobro" the same :-D

  • grampa! You are awesome! do more videos!

  • In my language, Croatian, the word `dobro` means `good` :)

  • Hi there 'Flying A',

    You sure do make a nice sound.

    And you are really helpful to beginners - I am going to try this myself - maybe one day I shall play 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain' - one of my favourite songs. Thank you very much.

  • I dunno, your pretty restricted when you use one of these hick guitars

    electric blows all other guitars outa the water hands down

  • Interesting approach

  • I think dobro guitars are better than electric guitars.

  • how much exactly for the dobro?
