I am a big fan of your steel playing and recently discovered a great video of a presentation you did with Lloyd Green many years ago. Your playing was just phenomenal and you showed great deference to Lloyd's playing as well.
I watch this over and over and over... Tommy is such a great communicator, explaining things in detail, yet relatable to a novice. I'd love to see you do a similar video on the steel... obviously MUCH more complicated, but I think people would appreciate your knowledge and explanation. Thanks Tommy!!
I bought a Gretsch boxcar from a guy that said he wanted to learn to play Curtis Loew but couldn’t figure it out. When I picked the guitar up and tuned it like a dobro is suppose to be tuned, he said, “oh, you tune it differently?” I sort of felt bad…. Sort of
The resophonic guitar in this video was donated to the “Kentucky Music Hall of Fame when I was honored to be inducted last year! Please check the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame site! It is so great!
It’s great to discover your channel Tommy! I play a little steel and I am a huge fan. Bless you both for doing this and I look forward to seeing more posts soon!!!
Hey Tommy! What a great video! I also play Dobro now, in addition to pedal steel and I love it! I've been playing Dobro for almost three years now, and I play at jam sessions a lot!
Always enjoy your steel guitar playing.. just floors me. I do play Dobro some and steel some. I'm just a fair player but enjoy it. Was on the road many years as a bass player for Helen Cornelius, Tom T, Freddie Hart, and several others. Now I'm learning to play instruments I aways wanted to but never had time. God Bless
I love the sound of a dobro. Thanks for giving us some information concerning. I could sit and listen to you play and figure out the tune. I enjoy the variety on your channel. I know the chicken and bologna smoking had to smell so yummy.
Very cool history lesson and showcase. The dobro is one of my favorite tones off of any instrument and I love delta blues and bluegrass. Love some slide guitar too and ABB will always be my favorite band to ever do it. Looking at purchasing one of these and a bass soon to get back into playing music which is something I havent done in a long time and miss greatly. First time on the channel and one I will definitely be keeping up with. Great work!
Hey Tommy thanks so much. I love the sound of a dobro. Brings back a lot of memories! I know you are too young but I'm sure your Dad would remember Junie Brumfield who played with Olabelle & Alex Campbell & the New River Ranch Boys. He was a fantastic dobro player. He lived a few miles from me. He also had a barber shop so was well known locally. Thank you so much & look forward to hearing more music. Unfortunately we cant get the station you play on. You & Theresa enjoy that bologna & chicken.
Thank you so much Virginia! I do remember some of the folks dad played music with. I was thinking Junie Gilliam? I’ve been in Nashville over 30 years and sadly lost touch with so many of dad’s friend. Sure do appreciate you subscribing and commenting!
A great informative video. Thank u 4 your time. I looking to purchase a Dobro, though I’m a wind instrument musician, looking to branch out to the strings. A long time fan of Jerry Douglas and the band Strength in Numbers. Fortunately attended the live taping on Austin City Limits. A spectacular performance by the entire band. Looking forward to more from you. Stay safe, stay healthy.
Not only is Tommy a phenomenal pedal steel player, but he is world class on resonator too. I have a bluegrass album that I bought in Nashville that has Tommy on Dobro. He's just a brilliant musician.
Teresa & Tommy thank you for these videos, I love all ur videos u guys put out, their all great!!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT, IF YOU WANT TO GROW THE CHANNEL MORE I BELIEVE / if Tommy would share w/us a look into his ideas for how he approaches the pedal steel from all different topics of issue's dealing w/ it.. I think it would help out even more advanced players like myself not just novices beginners. Just a thought but i believe it will help players out and grow the channel! Thanks again Guys! CHEERS🍻
Justin, Thank you for your comments and we appreciate you subscribing. The channel is not about steel guitar or dobro lessons per-se. T&Me Adventures TH-cam channel is a venture into general information, adventures and fun not only for musicians but for everyone. Again, thank you for your support!
I like this and great picking, Tommy!! Im a big steel fan as you know from me talking in the live streams but love the look of this as well!! Thanks for sharing!!
Yes! Randy is incredible at anything he does and dear friend! One of the very best! Wish I’d thought to mention Randy in the vid! I will next time! Thank you for watching and commenting !
My Dad retired from the Air Force after 23 years of service. He played the dobro, his brothers and daughter had a band called Cindy and the country playboys from Scottville Michigan they played nothing but country & western, bluegrass. Good video.
Thank you for the video and information. As part of my mid-life crisis I've decided to learn an instrument and have decided on the square neck resonator. There are no places where I live (Boise, ID) that have them so I'll have to buy one online. What kind of cone do you have in yours? I'm trying to figure out what type of cone to get and a good place online to purchase one. Any information or advice you could pass on would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great playing.
Watched a james taylor tribute show. Allison Krauss sang and this guy was playing a guitar I had never seen or heard and it was so cool. It was, of course jerry douglas playing a dobro. That lead me to transatlantic sessions and that has lead to years of beautiful music. Best rabbit hole ever
Yes yes yes! Jerry Douglas is my hero and influencer for many years! So glad you found him and our little TH-cam channel! More dobro vids coming! Thank you!
I'm a big fan of old time country and the song that really got me interested in it was hearing Roy Acuff do the Wabash cannonball on the Grand Ole Opry. A song that is synomanas for the Dobro guitar.
I too am a fan of Roy Acuff and his long time dobro player, “Bashful brother Oswald Kirby”. Sure miss them and that music! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Technique and "expert skill" is one thing, but playing from the soul and conveying that groove to the world is quite another. I choose soul over technique.
Very nice video! Professional guitar player over here and I will get a dobro this week. We would love to meet you guys when we are nearby.. you guys are so friendly, dinner is on us for shure! Much love
Dopyeras (Dopjerovci) were migrants from Slovakia that came into US in 1920s. Also dobro its kind of universal word in slavic languages that means `Good`.Im glad that invention of my fellow countrymen played a big role in evolution of bluegrass and country music.
This was great. I got hear you play and I learned what this is called now. Resonophonic guitar. (I think) 😂 It does have a unique sound to it. Best wishes.
thank you for the video sir. I am actually from the same country as the "Dopyera brothers", Slovak republic, so I am watching your video out of patriotic interests haha. god bless
The video was more about the dobro origins. Maybe we will do a more in depth tutorial addressing things you mentioned soon! Thanks for watching and commenting !
Your welcome Tommy looked some of your videos up just great 😁 all the best from bonny Scotland 🏴. +UK 🇬🇧 been dabbling with dobro and psg for bout 6yrs now nothing great still learning every day is a school day .56 yes now main instrument double bass in rockabilly band playing since I was 14yrs bands called Rockville (.Scot .com) not played in couple of years due to covid 🤷 but 10months ago was inolved in work related accident ..air bags burst under fuel tanker when I was unloading it lost some hearing /permanent tinnitus and hearing aids rest of life l,ost my mojo for playing at mo was just great when u popped up on my tube gave me some hope .maybe take my dobro off the wall some day and give it a pick soon it's a regal also ...use all take care keep posting And playing 👍👏👏👏👏🥃🏴🇺🇲
Tommy, thank you so much for teaching us about this beautiful instrument. My Dad passed away last year and he left me his guitar...It is apparently a Dobro. It actually has the Dobro name on it. It has been sitting in a guitar case for about 50 years at my Aunt's house. It looks like it is good condition with the exception that it looks like someone (maybe her) put some material small square sheets (cotton or linen) in the case absorb humidity and it left a residue on it front and back in the shape of the material (about 12" square). I think I can clean it off, but I am afraid to touch it. I know nothing of musical instruments. But with old guns the rule is not to restore it unless you know what you are doing. I assume the same applies to vintage instruments. Any suggestions? Thank you Sir.
So sorry your dad passed. Glad you have your dads real Dobro! They are prized and cherished instruments. For cleaning, I would try Pledge furniture clean polish. If it doesn’t remove the spots it will not harm finish or sound. You have a very nice instrument there! Thank you so much for sharing the story!😊
Hey Tommy, where ya at? If'n I ever get around yer circle, I'll bring my Beard. I'm in Michigan, so I hope we're not too far away. Thanks man, God Bless.
Just bought a new Fender FR50. Don't have a clue as to how to play it! Gonna take me awhile to learn to play from scratch. Hope I don't get frustrated & quit!
excellent video Tommy I would like to see one of these days you play the song cry cry darling on the pedal steel for me that would be a great dream for me 🥰
@@TMeAdventures Seriously, I'm going to look for it , thank you very much and one more question, tell Tommy what kind of steel guitar he would recommend me? Because I want a good one but not so expensive.
Jerdy Figueredo in the TH-cam search type Opry live and it should come up. Select the recent show with Vince Gill. I told Tommy he has a question from you and as soon as he can he will answer.
@@TMeAdventures Thank you very much I appreciate that very much if you want you can write me by messenger I have tommy as friend there and if you would send an email it would be great greetings from the island God bless you🥰
I recommend any squareneck resophonic guitar from saga! You can’t go wrong! Please pray and send love to Nashville shooting victims! It will mean so much!
I have a Regal but its not as pretty as yours... Its beautiful! I gotta find some of those black thumb picks! I'm a NOBRO player, lol Do you play GDBGDB tuning or do you also play open D tuning? Love you brother!
Cooper, this particular style cannot but, there is a dobro model that can be played as an acoustic guitar. They are called fretted round neck resonator guitars! Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
Terry, a squareneck is dedicated to playing with a steel slide bar as slide guitar. The round neck is dedicated to playing as a finger fretted instrument like a regular guitar.
Actually the Dobro brand is owned by Gibson and manufactured by Epiphone in Indonesia. The Indonesians make great guitars the Hummingbird is a good example hopefully the Dobro is too .
Hey y'all!!! Working security today so catching up on some videos. I think Tommy is famous. LOL There sure are a lot of videos of him benden them strangs or slidin them strangs.
Thanks Spaceman! It is a fun and unique instrument! There are very affordable guitars like this available ($200 to $500). Tons of free instruction on TH-cam! You should do it! Great therapy and enjoyment!
Thanks for helping magnify the dobro. I play a Beard and Reed myself. Check out my good friend Ferrell Stowe if ya git a chance. Take care. I forgot to mention, you're a good picker man. Slide on brother.

So this is what Curtis Loew played. Sounds awesome.
That's my favorite Skynyrd song :)
That’s what brought me here. Haha.
That's why I'm here
I bought a Gretsch boxcar from a guy that said he wanted to learn to play Curtis Loew but couldn’t figure it out. When I picked the guitar up and tuned it like a dobro is suppose to be tuned, he said, “oh, you tune it differently?” I sort of felt bad…. Sort of
Actually the Skynyrd version was played on an eliitric god rest there souls
Thank you so much for watching! I look like shit but, the information is more important! Again, thank you! Long live the resophonic guitar!

Always loved the sound of resonator instruments and a pedal steel maestro takes them to a top level.
Great talk man! Very useful concepts to introduce people like me in this Dobro/Resonator world. Greetings from Barcelona!

I've really been debating puchasing a Dobro guitar. I've never really played slide, though.
Do it James! You won’t be sorry! Thank you for commenting and supporting us!
Uncle Tommy, you play this instrument excellently, you are great. Can it also be played like normal Guitar? It sounds great.
This particular guitar cannot be fretted with fingers.
Thank you so much uncle Tommy. Remain blessed sir..
Back at you! Thank you for being part of our channel!🤗
That is one Beautiful Dobro.CAN I HAVE IT.? I CANT AFFORD ONE LIKE THAT.
What caused the damage around the one resonator hole?
A tragic knock over of a heavy music stand!🤕
You are good👍
Thanks 😁
Was this type used for the Rockford Files theme?
Yes! It was a fretted resophonic guitar. Very similar to slide dobro! Great ears you have there!👍🏻

Love you brother!
Hey James, this is Tommy, I play the G tuning.
Thanks Tommy I appreciate it.
Is a slide guitar and a dobro the same guitars
Not exactly the same but, kin to each other!
Can you play it like an acoustic?
Cooper, this particular style cannot but, there is a dobro model that can be played as an acoustic guitar. They are called fretted round neck resonator guitars! Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
There are two types of dobro a round neck and square neck both are resophonic, dobro are still on the go and ownd by Gibson bought a dobro yesterday
Thank you for watching and commenting! Even though Gibson owns the Dobro name they haven’t produced any resophonic guitars in over 10 years.
@@TMeAdventures they make them under Epiphone , have done for quite a while
Whose the neighbor dog? So cute!
Who cracked the sound hole. If you get it glued down and filled it won’t be so noticeable
I did that by trying to remove the hole screens. Dumb move on my part except , it does sound fatter and louder!
What is the model of this dobro?
Regal RD 40
@@TMeAdventures is there a difference between the square neck and round neck?
Terry, a squareneck is dedicated to playing with a steel slide bar as slide guitar. The round neck is dedicated to playing as a finger fretted instrument like a regular guitar.

Actually the Dobro brand is owned by Gibson and manufactured by Epiphone in Indonesia. The Indonesians make great guitars the Hummingbird is a good example hopefully the Dobro is too .

Hey y'all!!! Working security today so catching up on some videos. I think Tommy is famous. LOL There sure are a lot of videos of him benden them strangs or slidin them strangs.
Randy! Those strangs are meant for a bendin’!😂
Can you play it like a normal guitar?
No, it cannot be played like a guitar with your fingers. The strings are raised up from the neck making it only playable with a slide bar.
