Dobro Variations - Explorations in Minor, Swing and Rockabilly Styles
Editorial Review:
Description
Cindy Cashdollar has finally come off the road long enough to record the follow-up lesson to "Learning Bluegrass Dobro," her very popular video for beginning players. This time she moves into intermediate territory with the blues, minor key and western swing styles that have become her signature sound.
Cindy builds your knowledge of the Dobro step-by-step, teaching alternate tunings, music theory and invaluable bar and fingerpicking techniques. Starting with the much-requested classic Panhandle Rag, Cindy details the wide variety of musical moves - rolls, slants, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, damping and raking - that bring style and color to the song's basic theme and variations. By re-tuning just one string, she puts you into the instant country/swing sound of an open G6 chord, a revelation for those who have only played in standard tuning.
Minor keys can be a challenge for anyone playing with a bar, and Cindy devotes part of this lesson to an in-depth study of minor chord shapes and the licks that are based around them. This invaluable information will enable you to play just about any tune that requires improvisation in minor keys. She then goes into a very playable version of Django Reinhardt's great tune Minor Swing, which you'll soon be playing along with the band,
Cindy uses a modified Stella round-hole tuned to an open E chord for the rockin' Rockabilly Blues. From its slow Robert Johnson-esque intro to its hard driving boogie-woogie bass line and flashy blues licks, this tune is a real show-stopper. You'll gain an understanding of how lap-style guitar can be used as a powerful blues instrument as well as its usual role in playing country, bluegrass and swing music.
