I love the Buck Owens style guitar!! It must be an old model from the 70's. _________________ "Shoot low boys, the're ridin' Shetlands" |

A few years ago I became aware of Cindy's reso playing---I'd only known her as a western swing steel player. I love her playing. So tasteful, understated, integral to the music. |

Cindy is unfailingly tasteful and never overplays. She always supports the song yet, if asked to play a fire-breathing solo, she's completely up to the task - and can do so in a number of styles. That's a rare quality. She's also a lovely person. |

I am no good at analyzing stuff. Any idea which tuning she's using? I'm at her website and I see the numerous options. I don't have the tools to make an educated guess. |

It appears to be standard dobro tuning G B D G B D low-to-high, capo at 2nd fret so essentially she's playing (high bass) Open A: A C# E A C# E _________________ Mark |

Ah. Thanks Mark. I had it in my head that it might be something like a D A D F# A D . I hate hearing sweet playing in standard tuning. Means I can't blame my lack of imagination on the tuning. |

She made a really pretty song much prettier that it would have been without her. |

I love the way her dobro playing imparts a rhythm. That's not easy to do.
Dobro occupies a lot of band with and it really gets to shine in a sparce mix like that. |
