Heyyy Wayne,
You don't EVER be sorry for starting a thread sir! I have a list of something
like 13 or sodifferent tunings for lap steel guitar, and basically I consider a
"dobro" just a mechanically amplified non pedal steel guitar.
To get started with "different" tunings, first make sure you've got some spares,
but gently take that fourth string upppp slowly from D a whole tone or two frets
up to E! Depending on your guitar, if you decide you like this change, you might
have to put a 4th string on that's a couple of thousandths lighter, but Wayne,
trust me, a ol' Texas boy like yourself will suddenly find hisself in Bob Wills'
band!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ha!!!
