Description
Take a lesson from the man the NY Times has called "Dobro's matchless contemporary master." On this DVD, Jerry Douglas shares the powerful techniques and unique sounds that have characterized his award-winning playing and have made him a legend among acoustic musicians.

Jerry starts by getting you tuned up and acquainted with the Dobro essentials - proper left and right hand positions, bar pull-offs and hammer-ons and a variety of right hand picking patterns. As the lesson develops, you'll learn to master important techniques such as forward and reverse bar slants, "banjo" rolls, string pulls and how to combine rolls in complex picking sequences.

All of the techniques are brought together in detailed, note-by-note breakdowns of three great tunes: Fireball Mail, Cincinnati Rag and Banks of the Ohio. Jerry's clear and concise teaching style, along with invaluable tips on musicianship and equipment, will help you become a better player. By developing bar control, fingerpicking skills, licks and song arrangements, you'll gain insights and abilities that will bring your Dobro playing to new heights.

BONUS! This classic 1989 Dobro lesson now features a new introduction and interview with Jerry, recorded in 2004.

5 out of 5 stars The master musician shares some effective techniques.......2005-04-27

90 minutes -- Jerry Douglas' name is synonymous with exceptional dobrology. His evocative resophonic guitar playing is characterized by influences of bluegrass, jazz, classical, Celtic and new acoustic music. His aqueous compositions give us a hint as to how Jerry Douglas earned his nickname "Flux." In large thanks to him, the dobro has grown in popularity, and we are seeing more kinds of music incorporate the instrument. Jerry's "Dobro Techniques" was originally released on videotape in 1989. Now on DVD, the lesson has been updated to include a new introduction from Jerry and interview (conducted by Happy Traum) recorded in 2004. The master musician shares some effective techniques and unique sounds that have characterized his award-winning playing and have made him a legend among acousticians.

After listening to Jerry play "Monkey Let the Hogs Out" and learning how to tune up, Douglas presents the basics of proper left and right hand positions, bar pull-offs and hammer-ons and a variety of right hand picking patterns. The lesson then addresses important techniques such as forward and reverse bar slants, banjo rolls, string pulls and how to combine rolls in complex picking sequences. The DVD could have had more on scales, but the rolls are great as are the slants and other techniques. All of the techniques are brought together in detailed, note-by-note breakdowns of three tunes: Fireball Mail, Cincinnati Rag and Banks of the Ohio. The tablature for these tunes could have included fingering to use (ie. thumb, middle, index) as well as accompaniment chords. Jerry's clear and concise teaching style, along with invaluable tips on musicianship, attitude, instruments and equipment, will help you become a better player. By developing bar control, fingerpicking skills, licks and song arrangements, you'll gain insights and abilities that will bring your playing to a new level of proficiency and expertise. The double views showing both hands simultaneously were very helpful.

Jerry Douglas' playing has always been full of excitement and energy. With the basic techniques on this DVD under your belt, you'll be ready to spice up songs with your own artistic interpretations. I hope that he'll consider making a sequel to this lesson. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)
