Grandpa's Dobro

[mcblink]

Damn! That clip gives me the same Willies that my 19th century banjo puts out, when I ever indulge in it!

Right?!

I'm glad to learn it wasn't just me...

It's haunting, for lack of a better word

This is mine. It's a '70ish Dobro.

This is what it sounds like in open E tuning.

One could call it a charge, sure. It definitely brings something different out of me. Kinda has to. Slayer songs etc. just never sound quite right when I play them on grandpa's Dobro
