Play along CD Accoustic

Post by R. L. Jones »

I`m always seeing these play along CD`s for steel guitar. If you play it with a steel it should prevail that it`s a steel guitar. Somehow i order a play along CD for steel guitar ,comes out it`s always electric steel which i dont play. My guitar is not a quote ," DOBRO", it`s a Benoit. The same type as a dobro (brand ) name , Can anyone reccomend a Play-along CD that is DOBRO style , ? Yall forgive me ,but i`m beginning to dislike that name,DOBRO.

The generic name for "Dobro" style instruments is "resonator guitar". Some people call them TIFKAD, I think (The Instrument Formerly Known As Dobro). Image

Actually, I don't see why any music-minus-soloist CD wouldn't work for any instrument. How would rhythm tracks for resonator guitars differ from those intended for pedal steel?

Would an endless loop of Wabash Cannonball in "G" work?

Thanks guys, you`re probably right, you`ll have to over look slow thinkers. I had my brain worked on a few years back,removed a tumor ,must have been 30yrs. old ,they say it affects your thinking,. Oh yes , I have old Brother Oswald,theres three of them playing the Wabash Cannon ball, each one plays it differently.

Thanks R. L.
