Peelin' Taters on dobro, link now works

Here's a silly tune from honkytonk Junior Brown and his Guit-steel. I didn't fully appreciate the title until I started figuring it out, then I realized it's an apt description of the bar movement used to play it. Also requires mucho palm blocking. This is a sound and style you don't hear very often on the dobro, probably for a good reason! The tuning is GCEGAC, a C6th variation I can tune my guitar to without changing string guages, although the E is pretty tight. It's my first stab at C6th tuning and it's pretty fun. WARNING: my family has complained that they can't get this tune out of their heads!

It's hosted over on Reso-Nation.org, so you probably need to register there to hear it.

That's great.
And yes---you need to be registered and logged in to download it. Worth doing it (I just did).

...so I bit the bullet and registered.

It was definitely worth it. Very catchy little tune

Wow! That is excellent. Very fun tune (for listening...I'd probably blow my brains out in frustration if I tried to learn it).

It keeps telling me that the confirmation code is incorrect, no matter how careful I fill in the correct case. Oh well!

Sorry guys, I didn't realize the Reso-Nation hosting would not be accessible. Try it now, I'm hosting it myself. Thanks for the nice comments to those who have listened!

I just clicked on the bold title in the first post, and it worked. Very catchy!!

That's great. I just played it here in the office and my co-workers are loving it too. Great playing and fun sounding.

I retuned my "cheap-bro" to your C6 tuning. As a guy who's mostly played open D and regular C6 on electric lap, I'm finding it quite easy to find my way on.

Don't ask me to peel 'taters too soon though...

Very nicely done Greg!
That's a keeper . .
