Re: slide

Thanks Badeye,
This was great. I  just started messing with open D tuning a couple of days ago. It's fun and encouraging to learn new things. I would love to learn a simpler version of this song as I will never be good enough to do it like him. I'm over 66 and move to slow.

Yeah! Guitar Player did a feature on Jerry a while back and someone called him the "Jimi Hendrix of the dobro"! I have to admit I've heard and seen some amazing players of the dobro but JD's playing stands WAY above any others my big ole ears have absorbed.

I saw him playing with Alison Krauss& Union Station at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida the night George Harrison died. Jerry dedicated his solo to George. I guess the inside scoop in the music industry was that George wasn't doing so well, but at the time of the concert George was still alive. Pretty creepy and cool at the same time. I read the next morning that Harrison had passed. I got the chills all over and realized how amazingly special and awesome that Jerrys' 12 minute solo indeed was. It was one the most moving experiences I've had the pleasure of witnessing in anything related to music. The dude can flat out burn it up!

I am a huge Jerry Douglass fan!!!
