I’m very pleased to share my resophonic video lesson website JimmyHeffernan.com. I’ve been working hard on this and with the aid of a couple of good friends have made a new Dobro learning tool that I am proud of. The audio and video quality is state of the art, videos are in High Definition (that’s why you’ll only see my hands).
I have a bunch of dobro lessons that run a half hour to a couple over and hour with more being added as I write. I also have a couple free licks that you can learn with more of those added as we go along. The “Free Ones” have this pretty cool feature where I’ll use the lick in the song of your choice and post a video on my next upload. The only catch is you’ll have to be a certain number in the email order to get your choice. Feel free to suggest future material for lessons by the way. I have devoted at least one day a week to this so suggest today and you might see it next week.
There are a couple lessons included in the first round of dobro lessons that I feel are extremely important. “Scales and How To Use Them” will be a musical life changer for many of you. You’ll get a whole new pattern of notes from the major scale and start seeing them up and down the neck. The notes lay out in a form that is easy to visualize and are exact patterns that all the top players use. That’s right, I said all the top players use this pattern. You’ll also learn how to use the major scale to play over all the common chord progressions you’ll encounter, both major and minor chords.
The second lesson that I feel is crucial is “Common Mistakes and How To Fix Them“. If you are teaching yourself how to play and don’t have someone to guide you this video is for you. After many workshops and private lessons I have gathered the most common technical errors that people make. They are so common that I pretty much know what I’ll have to teach before I even see a student play. I teach you why players sound sloppy and how you can stop it!
So, thanks for your time and please click around, have look and kick the tires. I hope to provide a useful learning tool for everyone that will promote better practice and more fun when you play.
Thanks for your support through the years as well as in the future.
Keep on resonating!
