Red Hot Dobro video from ‘80’s

Post by Tab Tabscott »

Back in the day (‘86) I made a few dobro instructional videos. It was the soonest you could rent a video camera. And I did, advertising in Frets magazine, pickin’ magazine and a few others. I sold around 200 copies of each, both video and audio courses. $20 got you a VHS tape and a tab book.
So now I’ve digitized it. And it’s free.

It looks hokey these days but Im still alive and I’m still doin it.

Here’s the link:

Tab, that ‘s great, what a time machine, and that RQ Jones—what a banjo killer.
So ‘86–that was about the time of the start up of Hannah’s Masonry in Seattle.
A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

Yeah I met Bill
About that time. Good to see you are still kicking. I’m in the same house, same island. Swing by if you come this way.

This is great Tab, you did a fine job on it. Had you been teaching students in person previously? What was the body depth on that guitar, it looks shallow.
