Movie Reviews of Learning Bluegrass Dobro

Movie Review: Great help - thanks Cindy Cashdollar
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is really a great place to start if you want to learn the dobro. Cindy Cashdollar is an excellent teacher and wonderful player. The songs are familiar and cover a decent range of styles. She demonstrates the material well and the camera work is good, showing both hands. The sections on holding the instrument and bar are really good. She knows we are starting from scratch. If you learn like I do, by watching and hearing rather than reading, you will get a lot from this DVD. The sound is not the greatest when the band is playing along, but this was in the early days of Homespun and the newer releases are much better in that respect. Overall this is a really solid learning tool that is very helpful. Hearing what Cindy can do with simple material by getting into the sound and tone of the dobro is inspirational. Highly reccommended.

Summary of Learning Bluegrass Dobro

Here is a hands-on Dobro course that will teach you to play your favorite bluegrass and country tunes in no time ? even if you?ve never played before! Jam-packed with information, this 90-minute DVD utilizes close-ups, split screens and easy-to-follow instruction to make it easy for you to learn.

Cindy Cashdollar, one of the shining stars of the Dobro and lap steel world, helps you develop accuracy and good intonation, and increases your depth of musical knowledge. She details essential techniques such as right hand rolls, rhythm picking, crosspicking, tone control, hammer-ons and pull-offs, damping, chord building, and how the scales and chords fit together to form major and minor melodies. Cindy even discusses Dobro construction and maintenance to give you a full understanding of your instrument.

To help you put all this information together, Cindy teaches four all-time favorite country tunes, each one illustrating a different technique, key or style to prepare you for further Dobro adventures.

Songs: "Wildwood Flower," "Fireball Mail," "Sailor's Hornpipe," "Wayfaring Stranger."
