Video Tutorials for Bluegrass Dobro Volume 1

These videos have been prepared to compliment the book, Dobro Volume 1 (above). These video tutorials will walk you through the entire book, note-by-note in 7 Units in approximately eight hours of instruction. For more details about the program and Table of Contents in each unit, click here.

Bluegrass Dobro Volume 2 of this picks up where we left off in Volume 1. The arrangements for this book were selected for their ‘jamming appeal’ at bluegrass festivals. The material was inspired by your many email and phone-in requests including a mix of songs ranging from bluegrass standards, vocal tunes, gospel, banjo instrumentals, fiddle tunes and so on. There’s a little something for everyone in this project. You will find many of the techniques that you’ve been working on in Volume 1 in this follow up work.

The solos are 'razor sharp', accurate and faithful to the recordings and designed to be playable, interesting and practical in jamming with others.  The greatest care has been exercised in making this recording as professional as possible giving you the desire to practice along with 'the Virtual Band'. 

Listen to one of the cuts from this outstanding work: Mama Don't 'Low - mp3

Song list:

• Cabin In Caroline*, Big Sandy, Arkansas Traveler, Precious Memories*, Orange Blossom Special, Big Mon, Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Mama Don't 'Low*, Black Mountain Rag, Man Of Constant Sorrow*, Angel Band*, Train 45,  (*Complete arrangement with vocals.)

Bluegrass Dobro Volume 3 highlights some of the most popular vocal songs in the bluegrass repertoire.

This Volume contains both slow and faster recordings in a variety of bluegrass keys to aid your accuracy. The guide instrument will be on the right side of your stereo, so it can be isolated for further study. The arrangements are realistic and designed so that you can play solos and backup behind the vocalist. The program is a balanced mix of singing and instrumental numbers that will give you many hours of enjoyable, quality practice time.

Song List:

• Blueridge Cabin Home*, Nine Pound Hammer*, Walls Of Time*, Foggy Mountain Top*, Little Cabin Home On The Hill*, Blue Moon Of Kentucky*, Lonesome Road Blues*, Salt Creek, I’ll Fly Away, Ruben, El Cumbanchero, (* Complete arrangement with vocals.)

Bluegrass Dobro Volume 5 is based on many requests for an all Gospel set. Many of the songs are presented in a slow to medium format allowing the Banjo to play tasteful backup behind the vocals. The book includes detailed tablature for all Dobro solos and backup.

Song List:

• High on a Mountain Top*, In the Sweet By and By*, You're Drifting Too far From the Shore*, Maiden's Prayer, What a Friend We Have in Jesus*, Rank Stranger*, Life Is like a Mountain Railway*, Get up John, The Old Crossroads*, Sweet Hour of Prayer*, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot*, Will the Circle Be Unbroken?* (* Complete arrangement with vocals.)

The solos have been carefully thought out to represent the actual way the professional musician would execute them on the festival stage. You will also note that some of the faster songs have an increased tempo from the standard ‘fast’ speed of 200 bpm (beats per minute).

The arrangements are in the standard bluegrass keys of G, A and B as well as D minor (Lonesome Moonlight Waltz), the G minor tonality (Working on a Building) as well as E and F. The lineup includes singing songs, banjo songs, fiddle tunes and more. Learn them all and get to the next bluegrass festival in your area to try them out!
