Does anyone have the tuning for a dobro? And maybe a few cords? I have one but never tried it. Thanks Rick

Bar the entire second fret and a A appears.
Magic huh?

To get you started. There is a world of info on the net for beginners. Search DOBRO and that should keep you busy for a while.
I won't turn you in to the Dobro police for using that word either.

Another great site: Brad's Page of Steel

Remember, the key to playing the dobro is starting off being a little weird. Then you can go forward from there.
