Take A Peek Inside!
Jerry Says
Name, Title
I created this course with three ends in mind:
-
To give beginner reso players a solid start by teaching foundational skills
-
To share insights with experienced players that can fix any bad habits they may have acquired
-
To offer fans of reso guitars an inside look at how it is made and how it is played

Get rid of your bad habits and pick up some tips and insights from the premier reso player of his generation. Learn the essential exercises and techniques he uses in his own practice routine.

Jerry covers the techniques and gear he prefers that will help you dial up a great tone no matter what gear you are using.
LOOKING FOR LICKS?
Jerry teaches/performs some classic licks and tunes to demonstrate many of the course concepts in action.

JERRY DOUGLAS

Additionally, Douglas is a freewheeling, forward-thinking recording and touring artist whose output incorporates elements of country, bluegrass, rock, jazz, blues, and Celtic into his distinctive musical vision.
​
Called “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master” by The New York Times, three-time CMA Musician of the Year award recipient Jerry Douglas is one of the most innovative recording artists in music.

Jerry shines and soars as a solo artist, band leader for The Jerry Douglas Band and his GRAMMY winning bluegrass band The Earls of Leicester, as well as a member of groundbreaking ensembles including Alison Krauss & Union Station, J.D. Crowe & the New South, The Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers.
