I understand what everyone is saying about the "angry dobro playing" If you
listen back far enough you will hear some of Uncle Josh's playing being I guess
what they consider "angry playing" but sometime this type of playing is very
necessary, Not all the time but playing the dobro always needs to be played by
the feeling you have at the time. If a song makes you sad play it that way, if a
song needs the hammer ons and the pull offs use them, Playing dobro is not just
doing it one way you have to be versatile when it comes to this instrument. I
know a lot of new players want to do it like Jerry Douglas or Like Mike, these
guys are considered the best and I agree, but if you go back and see where they
got their influence you will see Uncle Josh, and he had more fire in his playing
then all of us so I guess you can call him an "Angry Dobro player too" but Uncle
Josh could make you cry in the same song. He was the master of playing with
feeling. Just play it like you feel it.
That is how everyone needs to play Not always angry or not always sad use a
good mixture of feeling in your playing and you will do ok.
