Missed ya my brother!!! You were one of the first channels I followed on UA-cam ever!!! Not sure what happened, life I guess hahaha I was in need of some lap steel education, you popped up to my happy surprise 😎👏🔥glad to see you’re still carrying on business as usual, stay groovy Scott!!!
@@groovydjshahahhahahhaa that is wat we need today! Relax be you! And dont bother! But i seen a lot of youre videos so i know you dont care what others might think ! Keep it up Scott!
I am having a heck of a time trying the figure out what strings to use for the G tuning on a electric lap steel. I got some form GHS, But I believe they are for a dobro or a Accoustic lap steel. Any help would be great.. I am looking to tune GBDGBD
Sounds great thanks for the lesson. The latest craze of not calling a resonator a dobro is ok, BUT it’s not such a big deal. Resonator guitars were only around originally from 1927 to 1941 and were invented by John Dopyera who was part owner of National he then left by 1929 with his brothers and started Dobro which was short for DOpyera BROthers. They then bought National in 1935 and were National Dobro. Amps were invented and WWII came and demand dropped and went out of business. The blues and dobro sound became popular agin in the 50s and resonators started manufacturing again in the early 60s when Dobro reopened . What to call them …Dobro seemed well deserving and was common until 15 years ago. Epiphone (Gibson) bought Dobro and started manufacturing them again in 2012. I’m good either way but I personally have no issue remembering the inventor and main manufacturer for most of the years and plus it’s easier to say.
With respect, Dobro, although a brand name by owned by Gibson, has become a generic term for pretty much all lap style resophonic slide guitars. The same as Kleenex, Thermos, Band-Aid, and Jacuzzi are, and so on. It isn’t that big of a deal man.
Thanks Dr groovy 🙂

Thank you! I tried to love the fingerpicks, but with a swollen arthritic index finger, I can’t use them. Glad to see it isn’t necessary 😊
You are so welcome! Yeah, some folks will swear that you MUST use them...I say that you MUST PLAY no matter what. lol No rules in making music.

@@groovydjs thank you very much.
Dobro were Epiphone?!? It's always a school-day at the Groovy Ranch!
EDIT: I'd love to play slide like Seasick Steve
The resonator guitar was originated by the Dopyera Brothers, hence the DOBRO.
Groovy to know. Thanks.
Sounds great thanks for the lesson.

A tech said my Dobro needs a re-fret. I must look stupid.
Any tips for 8 string?
In my case, take 2 strings off before my mind exploded! Good for you to be able to process all that. Next stop resonating harp!

A better comparison would be Kleenex, just sayin’!
Weedeater is a BRAND like Dobro...Ignorant folks call every stringtrimmer a weedeater. Same scenario !!!!
I hate to see your fingers after a long hot gig.
