I finally got around to taking some Dobro (resonator guitar) lessons starting in February. It has been interesting – some things come fairly easily (chords, some right-hand picking patterns), while some things come very hard (scales, note reading). Still, I’m cautiously pleased. I do need to practice more (I’m lucky if I put in two hours over a week, excluding lessons), but once I start doing that, I think things will come better. I’ll be taking most of the summer off from lessons, since I have to pay by the month and Mer and I will be gone for much of the summer, but I hope to stick with it even as we travel. Here’s the one song I have memorized right now, although I’m working on a couple more.
