Hi list.
Started playing dobro about 5 months ago - loving it. My bandmates even like it
enough to have me play it at shows. Right now I play in two tunings, what I call
low G (DADGBD) and D (DADF#AD). I play some songs in one, some songs in the other
depending on the song's key. I'm wondering if there is a solution to having to
re-tune all the time (since that's a bit of a show-stopper to me) other than
forcing the set list to keep all the D/E songs together and the G/A songs
together - that just sucks.
Is there an easy way to use one tuning for all these keys without setting capo
on the 5th fret and such? What tuning is pretty good for all/most of them, if
there is one? Do I just have to get good at changing tunings? My buddy says I
should just get another dobro for this, which I would love to do of course, but
we are already trucking around so many instruments! Any pointers welcome here,
since I don't know anybody that plays dobro to ask about it.
Thankee!
J
