Practice, Practice, Practice...

Jimmy here announcing some more new stuff!

My new instuctional DVD “SOLO DOBRO” breaks down the art of arranging and composing music unaccompanied on the Dobro.  Key techniques are explained and revealed so you’ll be able to master the lonely art of playing by yourself.  Click cover above for preview and more details.

Plus there’s a new MP3/TAB of Waiting for a Train available in the lessons section.
The download includes the full version and a practice track with no Dobro.
Press play for a preview:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

My downloadable lesson on how to improvise works just like a CD except that you download the lesson in MP3 format and play it on your computer or IPOD or burn it onto a CD and pop in into your car and take me to work with you. It also comes with TABs in TableEdit format.

Also available on CD for the 1st time is a re-issue of a 6 hour course I did for Ridge Runner Records in the early 80’s. It features 6 hour long CD’s and tab book. There is a CD devoted to each of the major players up to that point. One CD on Brother Oswald, one on Josh Graves, one Mike Auldridge, and one on a young Jerry Douglas. The other CD’s are devoted to fiddle tunes and some simple arrangements of popular songs. I’ve had lots of compliments on this over the years so I’m glad that it’s available again.

There’s going to be more audio lesson downloads as well as video downloads in the days and weeks to come.  I’ll be doing video downloads on single song breaks and arrangements and short topics (like the biggest beginner mistakes and how to fix them).

So check out the new improvisation lesson
and start turning heads at the next jam session!
