[@dannilaser16]

I really liked this whole video, but especially the banjo part.

[@markcolby2927]

Great lesson, 7 minutes to learn how to go or down 2 frets from a chord. WOW!!!!

[@LessonsWithTroy]

Thanks Mark! Glad you liked it!

[@look4light]

Thanks for these great lessons.

[@newbereso]

Troy I would like to say this lesson opens up allot from the shapes n patterns chart {which i dissed at first} to the time taking up on vibrato A+++++

I reminisce about a pork tenderloin sandwich from the sale barn...

[@shadowfest999]

Troy, just want to say thanks for this lesson. Just bought it off of your site earlier today and it really has helped a lot! I'm playing a lap steel, but have it tuned to open G like a dobro. I will definitely be buying more of your lessons in the future. Thanks!

Noob question. Few videos tell us what tuning the guitar is in. What is this tuning? This kind of music is what makes me want to play!

[@johnlogan7271]

maccatele The tuning is 'Dobro' tuning= GBDGBD. He talks about it @ 6:50.

[@helicch]

How. One the links don't work?

[@AdrianEbelt]

Nice lesson! What kind of tone bar are you using?

[@capeguthrie5930]

Hey Troy how do I get myself a nice mahogany Meredith do I have to contact a certain person I love the tooter merediths thanks :)

[@mrsimpson2022]

tooter is making guns now? At least thats the word i got from his buddy

I’ve been playing guitar for about 6 years and I’m very interested in the dobro. I know there will be a learning curve but how similar/different is the guitar vs the dobro?

[@maureenbachmann1858]

It's very different imho since it's open tuning, and using the steel is not left hand chord shapes but articulating each note with rocking and sliding in as new techniques. Maybe try a round neck with a pinkie slide and standard tuning, then you get a 'hybrid' - standard tuning and a slide. dobro sound mostly

[@larrykenney7091]

What's the pad for under your hand over the resonator?

[@debm3780]

So you can see what he is doing. Taking the glare off the resonator, helps show the strings more clearly.

[@katemorgan4346]

The link gives a 404 so was it removed?

[@pharmhound68]

What string gauges are you using to hit that C tuning? My 16-56 won't go that low or high without flopping out or breaking

[@LessonsWithTroy]

Hi Bobby, here are the strings I use: amzn.to/2qQyM0I

[@pharmhound68]

You're using lap steel strings on the Dobro? That's cool. Now. Can you still tune to Open G and D? I like to play in open D a lot. Check out Mattbradford music on Instagram. Man he is crazy good. Plays only open D though.

[@LessonsWithTroy]

Oh, no. I'm not. But you mentioned C tuning. I thought you meant C6 tuning. I use these strings for Dobro in Open G tuning: amzn.to/2qQvpb0

[@LessonsWithTroy]

Yeah, I should've read that closer. Sorry about that. :-)

[@pharmhound68]

Ah ok. My bad. I misunderstood you in the video. I thought you were tuned in C. But you said we are playing in the key of C. As in 5th fret. Hahaha.

[@eddiewebb7206]

Way to much explaining...wish you would make a short video showing chords. Make the chord and call it out. I think that would be great thanks!!! Opps wrong video...lol still I watched your chord video... slow and kinda boring. Come on. Make a kind of quick pace chord video! 😀

[@LessonsWithTroy]

Thanks Eddie.

[@LessonsWithTroy]

Take a Skype Lesson from me and we can move at whatever pace you want.

Music lessons, particularly in the learning stages of a new instrument, can seem horribly slow and silly. You're building a foundation for later, more complex skills. I like how he approaches this.
