A useful Dobro run for D or G tuning

Here's a handy triplet scale run that's moveable to any key and works well forwards or backwards over a major chord.This is example is in D. You can obviously play the same run on strings 4 & 5 or in G tuning one string further away. Mike Auldridge has used this run as an intro and it also makes a nice pick blocking exercise. So all-in-all it's a pretty versatile little run. 'Hope it's useful.

D Tuning (low to High) D A D F# A D

<pre>

Use as an intro or ending or play over D, D6, or Dmaj7.
