I thumbed this video up because you play the dobro like a champ! The words did get a little mumbled (you could put lyrics behind camera) but I really enjoyed how you made it yours. Keep it up!!!

Veeery good! great voice and lap playing. What (books videos or other references) do you recommend for learning lap style (apart from kelly joe's dvd)?

@bloodyfrets
Honestly the DVD did it for me; combined with obsessive freakin' playing until I could play "Goodnight Irene" note for note. : ) I felt a little let down about buying it; generally playing fingerstyle I pretend I'm competent enough to work out whatever I wish. But KJP's instinctive command of Open D was something else again. I *would* say that the key element to, as Kelly Joe says "not lock down songs too tight" is being able to lead with the steel, and ignore the right hand.

... *Completely*. I approach this sometimes, although I use my right hand ring finger and my impression is that KJ seldom does. I guess the big thing is, every time you learn ANY song, give it a whack on the lapslide, and work out a way to suspend the melody over the harmonic background. It teaches you the fretboard, and such. And as he says ... keep on playin! Take care, m.
