I have over (20) samples of me playing Cajun, ZydeCajun, and Country stuff on my website.
(www.martybroussard.net/) Click on the "Music" tab.
**For the non-pedal tracks that are played on Lap or Resonator with my "G" tuning format look for the ones that have "Dobro" or "G_tuning" in the title.**
Here's a direct link to one of them:

If you like Cajun Style playing you might find some stuff there that you like.
My Best,

Well, so far you got 100% approval in the poll, Marty, but one of us didn't vote! 
I had no idea steel had ever been used in Cajun until recently when a friend put on a CD collection of such. There is one guy who is a Cajun steel legend that was really good.
When said friend was down in Cajun country a while back, the players really took to him because his style of steel reminded them of this great player from long ago.
Good luck on all that, Marty! |

Mike,
Glad you like it. Thanks!!
Steve,
Thanks for the compliment. Someday I'd like to pick your brain for some Slide Guitar Licks 
Ron,
There's no doubt that the "legend" you mentioned is one of my idols. BTW, the purpose of the poll is due to some inquiries about a Cajun Style Course that I sold back in the mid 90's. It sold pretty good back then but it was a book and a cassette with soundtracks, and it's my understanding that these days the preferred format seems to be video, so I'm checking to see if it would be worth the effort. Maybe I should be polling somewhere else too but I'm not aware of where. Any suggestions are welcome--that's why I offered the third option on the poll.
Thanks again for all of your comments!!
My best,

| Post this on a couple of dobro websites, like RESO NATION & dobro hangout. I would love to get some dobro tab of some cajun tunes, especially JOLIE BLON (the cajun national anthem?) |

I would be very interested in purchasing a video course--if the price wasn't too steep.
Also, what tuning(s) would your electric material be based on, E9 pedal steel?
Great playing. Fast tempos for Cajun music!
Thanks,
Bob |

Hey Marty,
I'm intrigued by your reso. Can you tell us more about it? Are you using a 7-string tuning with a high G on top?
You must be related to accordion player Pee Wee Broussard of Lafayette, huh?
Keep up the great work.
Best,
Bob |

Bob, I'll try to answer all of your questions. If I forget one just repost/remind me.
-I have material for E9th and the G tuning. In fact, I already put the E9th course out back in the 90's. I'm thinking of re-issuing it in Video/tab format.
-I'm sure I'm kin to Pee Wee because most Broussards in La. are the decsendants of two brothers who came over from Canada. NOTE: my brother is a great accordion player too. He played bass for Mark Chesnutt (and accordion) for about 8 years.
-My G tuning for reso is a 7-string as you described and I also have a Hipshot Trilogy on it. I have used several different G tunings over the years but have settled on the one you mentioned for reso. On pedal steel it would be different. In fact, I wish I could tinker with B0b's 8-string now. That one intrigues me.
I think that's all the answers. If not, remind me and I'll gladly answer your questions.

Thanks Marty. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for keeping the steel alive in Cajun music. Most Cajun bands that play outside Louisiana do not include steel, so most of the US population has no idea that there is a rich Cajun steel guitar tradition.
All the best,
Bob |

Bob, thanks for the kind words.
Billy, I'm still considering the DVD project. BTW, that is some "Ossun"...
Thanks for the nice words and interest.
BTW, the site has been updated again with some referrals. Check them out on the front page.
My best,
