National Resonator Guitar (Dobro)

Okay, I'll probably regret this - but what the hell - this is a snippet of me "hacking up" Mississippi Fred's, "You Gotta Move" today. It's a beautiful song - check it out here by The Stones.

I'll get better (timing, rhythm, notes, slide), just give me some time. This isn't something I share a lot of (for good reason). Please,  no nasty email!

I do enjoy pounding on this thing - it's very therapeutic for me. Sometimes, I can hit stuff that would give you chills, albeit only a note or slide or two, but it sounds great. Little riffs of Delta (super-swampy) metallic blues. This is my next big life project - I want to play in the streets, at parties, for friends, etc. I'll get there.

National guitars are known for having great tone and are all around sweet instruments.

(I took it down - someday, I may post another one).
