Donation Driven Dobro Instruction

Real World Dobro - Jambalaya

To learn the full arrangement of "Jambalaya", go to this page instead...

In this lesson, the goal is to simulate a real live jam session! Instead of learning tablature, we'll look at techniques to back up singers and other soloists, and focus on what you need to know so you can play a song with other people!

First, you need to make sure you can follow the chord progression. I've included it here, but it's quite simple! For this song, we just alternate between 2 chords. To make things even easier, the chords are the same for the chorus and verse. The only thing to watch out for is the intro, which is over the last 4 bars of the form. I've also included TAB for a simple solo and the intro, it's on the 2nd page to help you get started.

The play-along track for this song includes vocals and instrumental breaks. The dobro solos are left open, so that's your chance to cut loose! I've also added a "vocal" checkbox, so you can practice without the vocal if you like.

The most important thing here is to jam with the play-along track! You can refer to the video below for ideas, but the best practice will be with the audio play-along track.

Good luck!
