Anybody know where I can find tablature for "Teach Your Children" for dobro?

Jackson Steel Slideking LS 6-string with pitch change hand pedal, tuned Open E

Jon - Once upon a time someone posted a video on You Tube, playing TYC on a reso. You might try doing a search of the Steel Without Pedals section - search words Teach Your Children.

It's not tab, but it's way cool.

Is it standard technique on resonator to pull the string behind the bar as he does?

I read an article that Jerry Douglas posted in some magazine that discussed the technique, but I've never seen anybody make such extensive use of it. Plus he's tuned it to G9 (GBDGAD) which facilitates the use of the bend to get that sound. Nice.

That is the most awesome YouTube! I just love that. What a fantastic player. I've never seen a Dobro player do that before. You can bend strings on about anything, I guess. But his technique is so clean and so much tone. He makes it look easy. I know it's not. Just getting a clean hammer-on is gonna take weeks. I'm SO very glad you shared that with us. Thanks. :D

Try this, if anybody is looking for the tab to this video. I sent it to Martin Gross and he seemed quite happy with it. I had to free-form a bit to symbolize his behind the bar string pulls. :)
