Title: You Can Teach Yourself Dobro by Janet Davis ISBN: 0-7866-0801-3 Publisher: Mel Bay Publications Pub. Date: June, 1996 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $10.95 |

Summary: Excellent Beginning Dobro Book
Comment: 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.

Summary: A great book for dobro fun!
Comment: Its a really enjoyable, well written, comprehensive book.
I did not order the CD...mistake. (I will as soon as I finish this).
My son is also learning the dobro and he has never heard of most of the tunes in the book.
I see it comes with a DVD as well as a CD...?
To put it at the top of the Dobro instructional mountain it needed one change.....
a spiral binding.
It's hard to sit down and open to a page and start playing...
But its' still really great.

Summary: Excellent book for the beginning bluegrass or folk player.
Comment: This is an excellent book for the beginning dobro player. The book begins with simple exercises which may be quickly learned, and progresses quickly to more complex arrangements. The music is written in easy to learn tab form. The complete set of exercises and songs are available on cassette and CD, though I'd recommend the CD to make repeated playing of single tracks easy.
