Synopsis

The Dobro Workbook by David Hamburger is an instructional music resource for musicians interested in lap-style resophonic slide guitar, commonly known as Dobro. Combining written instruction, musical examples, standard notation, guitar TAB, and online audio, this book explores the techniques, concepts, and improvisational ideas associated with the distinctive sound of the instrument.

Designed for Dobro and resophonic slide guitar players seeking practical study material, the book covers scales, licks, songs, musical examples, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, picking techniques, syncopations, rolls, double stops, and playing in different keys. The included online audio demonstrates these concepts in context, helping players connect written material with real musical applications.

Presented in both standard notation and guitar TAB, the book offers a clear reference for studying technique while connecting written music to real-world performance ideas. Access to 98 full-demo audio tracks is included through a unique online code. Audio can be streamed or downloaded, allowing musicians to hear concepts demonstrated in context and revisit examples whenever needed.

In addition to the recorded demonstrations, the included audio features PLAYBACK+, a versatile listening platform that supports slowing audio without changing pitch, creating loop points for focused practice, adjusting keys, and panning left or right. These tools make it easier to isolate musical passages, examine phrasing details, and spend more time with specific ideas presented throughout the book.

Rather than focusing on isolated exercises alone, the material encourages a deeper understanding of how scales, licks, rhythm, and technique work together in musical settings. The combination of notation, TAB, practical examples, and recorded demonstrations creates a well-rounded learning experience that supports technical development and musical exploration.
