Hi All gone quiet on the SFSS dobro tutor front. Anyone know who the front runner is? I put in a suggestion for Jim Heffernan a while back which met with...
I've not heard of david hamburger for a long time. he had a book and tapes out there about fifteen years ago but haven't heard or seen anything recently. John...
Well, John, what's the answer? Are we getting near a booking on this? I'll be there whatever, but it would be interesting to knmow who is in the frame. ...
I have a mid 1930's metal bodied, round necked Dobro with the traditional "fiddle edge" of those early models. It is looking a bit tired and I was thinking of...
Suggest you try Bill Little he is one of the best. ... "O" ... ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali Broadband from 14.99 with...
I agree! Just used my lap-style Gadgie guitar made by Bill Little in a recording I made with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Salil Bhatt and Ramkumar Mishra. What a trip...

Thanks for input but unfortunately my guitar was, I believe, the first early fiddle edge Dobro that Bill (Little that is) had seen and couldn't tell me if it...

I wonder how many ResoUK members own and/or play 8-string square-necks? I play a bit of 8-string lap steel, enough to have experienced the greater chordal...
Why do you need a teacher? Get hold of Jerry Douglas' DVD ... and Rob Ickes' also. There's loads of information out there. Get practicing and playing, ...
I need the disapline that a teacher would give me. I have the Rob Ickes DVds. Thanks ... ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali...
Thanks Vince. Wierd coincidence of timing in the postings! I don't visit JD Forum much these days because there's so much drivel to wade through for a few gems...
Dave Geigerich (Hula Monsters) was staying with me recently. He brought a six and a seven string ed dobro across with him. He used his six when we played...
The intervals between strings on an 8 or 7 string can be a lot closer, most notably you can get a whole tone interval between adjacent strings, this opens up a...
Don't know how many of you all are going to Cornwall Bluegrass fest on weekend of 14/15/16th september, but I'm playing with Home Territory on Friday and...
Thanks for your comments Dave and Lennie. Because Dave Geigerich frequently plays steel he's probably not at all phased by extra string(s) on a reso and would...
Just what swing are you listening to? There is such a WIDE span from Django Reinhardt to Bix Beiderbecke and most of it is far from cheesy. Nostalgic, sure...
Was glad to hear that you are coming down to the CBA Festival Lennie. I've not heard Home Territory yet, although Gary told me all about it when he was down...
Cheesy or not cheesy? - it's all in the ear of the beholder. Lennie's granny liked swing and Lennie doesn't but I think he was probably talking about the sort...
Seems like I stirred things up a bit when I said I didn't like swing. So this is my answer to lots of emails : I met Dave G when I first started playing dobro...

... string to play swing! ... Hi Pieter, ... You're right about Stacy but your comment applies equally to every 6- string player if you bear in mind that a lot...
... ==>I've been late to respond. The beauty of the 8 string mechanics is that it allows for a greater number of tuning possibilites. If not mentioned before,...
... Jim, I'm really looking forward to Cornwall, I've never been there so I'm pretty excited about that, and hopefully Roy Ray will be around as well. We must...
... Howard, thank you. Your comments on string guages, their availability and insert/nut slots are exactly the sort of feedback I had been hoping for. If you...
... ==>You are very welcome. I actually came to the 8 string in the mid-80's, driven to it by Mike Auldridge's "Eight String Swing" album. So, most of my...
btw.. I think the appeal of the 6th tuning is _not_ that you can swing with it..The real beauty is that the full minor chord is available to the player at the...
Hi Jim, First I have to tell you that I have never even seen a real 7 or 8 string, so I can't help you with first hand experiences and observations about the...
