Amazing Grace
 
In this lesson, you'll learn the popular gospel classic "Amazing Grace." The melody can be played almost entirely on the first string of the dobro, and besides being a great melody, makes a great exercise for practicing your intonation on the first string. It's also a great way to start developing the natural "singing" quality of the dobro in your playing. The best way to do that is to work on playing on one string at a time, which this arrangement does, of course. Once you've learned the melody see if you can play the melody on the first string cleanly without lifting the bar. Mike also talks about using a shallow vibrato on certain notes, adding texture to the note without really changing the pitch very much.

“Wildwood Flower” in the Key of C, Part 1
 
In this lesson, you’ll learn to play the Carter Family classic “Wildwood Flower,” a popular guitar instrumental and jam session favorite, in the key of C in two octaves. Mike starts by playing the tune through with guitarist Scott Nygaard and then runs through the chords. Then he shows you the C major scale in a few different positions before breaking the melody of “Wildwood Flower” down phrase by phrase. You’ll learn the melody of “Wildwood Flower” in the lower octave in two positions and with some embellishments in this video.
