I've seen great players just sit on a chair with their knees level and play them. But I can't.

I used to own one in that very color. I got rid of it in my very slow move towards minimalism... Superb guitar. The best thing about yours is where it lives! Within Eyesight of what looks like some superb cast iron cookware! Easy to grab means grabbed more often!
I miss it, but I'm not suffering much. Still have a Modern German Silver tricone and brass Style N singlecone.

resonator
Hi strummers and pluckers
Hi Don Do not sucked into any trap. There is a lot of good info here on this one. My advice over 58 years active playing, is to go and try 3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10 Resies and make the choice based on how you thought they palyed and your pocket There is no better advice BUT, don't forget to come back and tell us what you bought. Stephen Remember the first Resies were guitars with a hold cut in them and a Alumin sauce pan lid stuck in it ( we would now say Basic, but the sound is amazing!!. I have played many and you cannot find one to buy how ( 1890/1935 |

Lately I'v been playing my wood bodied National M2 a lot! My playing style isn't really traditional, and the M2 fits what I'm doing perfectly. I just love the recorded tone I'm getting, and I also love that the weight is reasonable compared to the metal bodied ones (I also own a metal Triolian and Polychrome Tricone)....

Wow! You are getting some TONE into your recordings! It sounds old, while being digitally clean. If I recall you play bare fingered? If so, that's all the more impressive. I've found it slightly harder to get a fat tone out of the treble strings on a wooden national barefingered. No problem for you... Can't say enough about what I just heard. Especially fond of the groove you laid down on the second track.

I've enjoyed a 1992 OMI Dobro Hound Dog for 20 years now.

I first came across resonator guitar when I met Chris Whitley back in the eighties. His playing really blew me away. He used a homemade, cut down slide and a ring slide and picks on all his fingers. It took me awhile to realize I wasn't and would never be Chris Whitley and I found my own bare finger style. I still try picks once in awhile but I guess they're just not for me.

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=6697257 I talked to Chris Whitley twice for extended periods after two of his shows in Salt Lake City. He was was very kind and thoughtful. He signed one of his set-lists for me, and also gave me his tunings on some songs I couldn't figure out. It was his inspiration that got me tuning my guitars into my own tunings. The tuning for the two songs you listened to are Fortune Teller CGCEGC (capo on 3), and Lovesick Heart CGCGGC. As for Skip James I love the songs where he sang in his fragile high range, which I find myself doing and liking. |

It's great that Chris continues to be an influence on musicians. I was fortunate enough to know him personally for many years. He recorded some demos in my kitchen in Brooklyn way back. He is missed by many people. One of a kind talent for sure.
