I know this is a dobro page but im sure some of yall will appreciate this. This had been sitting in the closet of a neighbor's grandfather somewhere near Laredo TX for over 40 years until his death where it was passed to my neighbor, who doesn't play any instrument. A 1940's supro although the exact year i dont know yet. Yes 1940's look at the condition! And what she charged me...300 dollars! I told her it was worth a bit more but she didn't care, she saw my eyes light up when she showed it to me. This just happened 2 days ago and im still naturally wired from the whole thing! My tele was stolen 3 months ago. This kinda makes up for it.

Hey folks, Dobro Quick Hit #3 is Whiskey Before Breakfast (Spirits of the Morning if you’re Irish I’m told), with lesson + tabs up on patreon.com/mileszurawell

Only three strings, so how you guys think I should tune it.

Day 2 of Dobro-mas brings us another lovely little ditty - here's "A Holly Jolly Christmas" on my dad's old Beard R body resonator.

Ok so it’s been nearly two months since I started trying to learn the dobro - I love it but I need to work on my intonation/rhythm. Any tips on nailing intonation?? 🤔🤔🤔

Trying to perfect Andy Hall’s version of “Wild Mountain Thyme”. I’ve always loved this song - reminds me of Hogmanay parties with the family. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🥳

This is cool quick little half break he shares with Bobby Hicks.

My dad passed away in 2010, but today would've been his 72nd birthday. A couple weeks ago I sorted through a few old files of his and found some lesson materials he'd made, including this arrangement of Rickett's Hornpipe that I've been having a ton of fun with.

The guitar is the original prototype for the Beard R Body (late 80s/early 90s?), it's been put through the wringer as you can see from the wear on the neck and... everywhere, really. Paul did some major reconstructive surgery on it at the end of last year and set it up with a new Vesper cone, and I haven't been able to put it down lately.

An Original Dobro my father gave me. He asked Josh to sign it before he passed. It Plays wonderful. Warm Sound and fantastic at home in a small setting. But Not loud enough to jam out on. I hope to get another one soon to gig and go to jams with
