Online Courses For Lapsteel

Jim Graham · Post by **Jim Graham** » 8 Sep 2021 1:01 pm

I recently got a course from Truefire on dobro playing by Jimmy Heffernan and find it very helpful and enjoyable even though I don't own a dobro (I'm using a lapsteel tuned to dobro open G). I also have a lapsteel tuned to C6 (6 string) and can't find as much about it online as I can for dobro. I wonder if any of the education based players that frequent the forum have considered approaching Truefire about submitting a course. I've bought some materials from Troy Brenningemyer in the past that have been helpful but the layout of a course and the commitment it requires is where I learn best and would think others would find it useful as well. I am only a customer of Truefire and have no affiliation otherwise.

There's a downloadable course here, which I've found useful: https://www.joedocmusic.com/product/lea ... tar-ebook/, and Cindy Cashdollar has some courses available as well.

It may not be quite what you're after, though.

Thanks, I'll check them out.
