Basic Dobro Backup - Part 1

In this video Dan Miller discusses an overall approach to accompaniment in a bluegrass band and the Dobro’s part in that mix. He then demonstrates various techniques and patterns that a Dobro player can use to provide a “chunk” rhythm (muted back beat). In Part 2 he will discuss using rolls in Dobro back up. Part 3 will demonstrate a variety of fill-licks.

Jam Track - Katy Hill

Instead of our regular Jam Track format (which are recorded each week by Brad Davis), we are going to give Brad a break and reach back to offer a segment from a four volume video jam series that Brad produced years ago for Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. Here you will find the tune “Katy Hill” played at 4 different tempos. Each time Brad plays a lead, so you can practice rhythm, and then he plays rhythm so you can practice your lead solo. Enjoy jamming to “Katy Hill” in the key of G!
