A sample from "Dobro Variations" available as an instant download here: leapingbrain.com In this follow-up lesson to her very popular video for beginning players, "Learning Bluegrass Dobro," Cindy moves into intermediate territory with the blues, minor key and western swing styles that have become her signature sound.Cindy builds your knowledge of the Dobro step-by-step, teaching alternate tunings, music theory and invaluable bar and fingerpicking techniques. Starting with the much-requested classic Panhandle Rag, Cindy details the wide variety of musical moves rolls, slants, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, damping and raking that bring style and color to the songs basic theme and variations. By re-tuning just one string, she puts you into the instant countryswing sound of an open G6 chord, a revelation for those who have only played in standard tuning.Minor keys can be a challenge for anyone playing with a bar, and Cindy devotes part of this lesson to an in-depth study of minor chord shapes and the licks that are based around them. This invaluable information will enable you to play just about any tune that requires improvisation in minor keys. She then goes into a very playable version of Django Reinhardts great Minor Swing, which youll soon be playing along with the band,Cindy uses a modified Stella round-hole tuned to an open E chord for the rockin Rockabilly Blues.

    Great vid, Cindy. Faded is one of my favorite songs & it really sounds fantastic on the dobro–or maybe that’s the musician!! Thanks.

    Thanks, Adam. I have purchased Homespun tapes in the past and was well satisfied with the quality and content. Now, if you guys could just come up with a port to download these lessons directly to my brain I would be much obliged. However, I guess that would take all the fun out of learning! 🙂

    Cindy is A1! Leon Redbone had Cindy play with him many years ago! Saw them at the Ark in Ann A rbor, MI (the original building) sat about 18" away when they played! Amazing!!

    I agree. Cindy is an amazing musician and great teacher. FYI, Homepun’s download site is expanding rapidly with most of our titles available for download. We are not currently doing a-la-carte songs, but entire videos are available.

    Yes she is pretty. However, in case you (we) missed it, she is also a master of non-pedal steel guitar and not shabby on the Dobro. I’d love to support Homespun Video lessons like this one if they were (are?) available via pay-per–download.

    Your right its a Beard…I guess I’m blind. I have a Regal which I bought over 30 years ago from some guy. Dont have clue how old it is. Says San Francisco on it…..thats all I can see…….

    It’s a Beard. No offense to Regal, but someone of her calibur would not be playing a Regal- unless it was Vintage 30s.
    Beards come in 2 levels of quality and you can buy a very nice Goldtone series for under $600.oo with remarkable sound.

    Pretty sure it’s a Beard instrument. Look at the headstock at :58 sec. The Regal emblem is very different. I also have a Regal and the tone is more mid heavy.
