Title: Excellent Beginning Dobro Book
Review: Janet starts at the very beginning and covers all of the basic techniques including chords/theory, rolls, bar slants, and blocking.The presentation is very straightforward - you get virtually nothing in the way of history/photos of the greats/analysis of influential player's styles. (See Stacy Phillips' "The Dobro Book" for that.) However, Janet is a very clear instructor and has the good sense to include tunes you will actually want to play if you are oriented towards bluegrass/old time country rooted playing.I bought this book with the DVD and, although the production is a little grainy, the instructional value is first rate. It feels like Janet is giving you a private lesson in your living room. She's a very accomplished player, too.I was almost put off by the cheesy cartoon cover, but it came highly recommended and now I understand why.If you are a beginning dobro player, I think this is an ideal place to start.
