Epiphone Hound Dog Dobro
Hi there fellow Steemians
I don't have time to sort out another original at the moment (to a vaguely listenable standard anyway!) so this week I am covering another of my favourite pieces by the late great John Fahey. This slide instrumental is "Poor Boy" and on the original, Fahey somehow arranged for a dog to bark during the recording session. He then quietened the animal with a simple "shhhhsh....shhhsh". At the time, that impressed me almost as much as his playing. I'm afraid have no such prop for my rendition of the piece and I am hoping you enjoy it, despite this slight lack of true authenticity.
I am now looking forward to watching the other contributors to the open mic event.
I love the variety of music and instruments you play. Always refreshing every week! this one's a beaut!
Thank you Oliver. I couldn't wish for a better comment, particularly coming from one as good as yourself. 👍😊

Well, since you ask so nicely... perhaps on second thoughts, sorry! I must admit, I actually polished it a little before I did my bit on it. 😊

I really like this! It's really easy to listen to! Love the sound :)
Thank you for listening and commenting. 👍😊
I just fell in love with that sound. Amazing you play. I wish to have one for me which I would like to play upright like guitar. Which tuning did you use?
Hi there Tam Thanks for your comments and yes, a lot of people play the "resophonic" guitar in the conventional guitar position (Mark Knopfler perhaps being the most notable). My metal bodied Dobro is tuned to open D that is: D-A-D-F#-A-D.
Cheers
Dobro for the win. love it, thanks man, followed.
Thanks for that!
