I recently interviewed the great Seattle based musician, producer/dobro player Orville Johnson on my latest Podcast. At the beginning of the Podcast you will hear his arrangement of the beautiful song "The Water Is Wide". We talk about his early days starting out in music and his transition to the West Coast. Among other things, we also talk about his new CD "Hawaii Of My Dreams" and his custom Rayco Squareneck Acoustic Slide Guitar.
The Podcast is FREE to watch or listen to via YouTube, iTunes (for iPhone users) or Sticher (for Android users), and I also transcribed a version of his arrangement of "The Water Is Wide" for Dobro tuned to Open G (GBDGBD) and also his "Signature Lick" that he played in the Podcast. I then recorded a lesson for each, and the lesson can be purchased here.
Here's what the Download comes with:
• Over 20 minute long Lesson of "The Water Is Wide"
• Bonus video lesson of Orville's Lick from the Podcast
• Tablature of "The Water Is Wide"
• Tablature of Orville's Lick (located into the Podcast around 30:02)
