I probably should have posted this at the beginning of the thread. When I first heard about this new DvD I asked Doug what his plans were. This is what he said.

I just got an email from Doug Cox at [url=http://www.learnrootsmusic.com/.]http://www.learnrootsmusic.com/. He is working on a new instructional DVD in open D tuning, and asked what people would like ...

I am new at all this and would like to ask a question. Why would you want to lighten a bar? Everything I have read seems to indicate that heavier bars produce better tone.

My ambition is to some day be, and old porch picker -- :

Just curious, what string gauges do you use for your C tuning?

Thanks for the info on C tuning. I am just getting started, and fully intend to try the lessons out as written, not just seeing what works with D. So for all I know I will end up liking C better also. ...

So I ordered a copy of the DvD on Saturday. On Sunday I got an Email from Doug Cox, asking where I heard about the company and the lessons. I explained to him about Rob's forum, and mentioned that sev ...

I saw a link to this Friday on Rob's site. Ordered it on Saturday. Looks really nice, but I was going to wait to see for sure before I recommended it. Not nearly enough non-bluegrass accoustic steel s ...

I agree. Rob's is one of my favorite sites. Nice to see him posting here.

Looks like just a flat pick too -- lots of sounds for no finger picks.

I got an email from him on 4/2 saying that he was working on a new site, and took down his old one until it the new one was ready.

I agree with Bill. With the retail price so low, why buy second hand?

Where is the incentive for people to take the time and effort to come up with great teaching material, if people end up passing i ...

Nice clip, but from the title I was expecting "Holiday for Strings" not "Sweet Sue" :

Not sure what you guys mean by "minimalist." I have the Kelly Joe Phelps instructional DVD. Ok, I know it isn't a dobro, but he plays lap style in open D, just his voice and the guitar, and it sounds ...

I posted the link on another site to share the music and was reprimanded for violating copyright laws.

Actually that is overstating it a little. But I was told that the site was violating the copyrig ...

I have a question about the Scheerhorn. I just watched an instructional video that used one. From the looks of it, the front and back section are kind of rounded, and slanted. Doesn't this make the ba ...

Not to hijack the thread, but how about on a resophonic? I read some place that C6 wasn't suitable, but it wasn't clear if it was just because the guy didn't want to buy a new set of strings or not.

Back in the 60s or 70s when it went all druggy, and the DJs all started laughing when a policman would get hurt in a drug bust.

I have been gathering all kinds of information on Dobros, trying to decide if I should make the leap. One of the recent tapes I got talked a little about the history. I was surprised to here that the ...

I was wandering around the web, and happened upon the Folk of the Wood site, and saw a post to Mickey about 8 string Dobros. In his reply he quoted a response he once got from Paul Beard -- he said -- ...

Really wonderful. Just the kind of music I would like to learn to make. Any suggestions as to where to start? Anyone know of books or resources to help coming up with arrangements, when you have a kno ...

Thanks for the info. I knew you needed to replace strings every once in a while. Just didn't know if there was any part inside that needed to be replaced as well.

Just a quick question. I have recently seen some nice comments about the Beard Goldtone. Along with these comments was the recommendation to have it set up by the Beard shop. This leads me to believe ...

Yes, but if you find them on ebay make sure you check the price. I have seen many of the Homespun instruction tapes on ebay for as much or more than they cost, new.
