Welcome to . . .
PLANET DOBRO ®

An Internet resource devoted to providing links to artists, music, labels and sites on the web for the culture of
SLIDE GUITAR.

After many years neglected in cult status, Slide Guitar and it's family of styles has landed feet first back in popular culture. Dobro®, Bottleneck, Slide and Slack-key music permeates nearly all genres of popular music today, as well as television themes, movie scores, jingles and commercials. While appreciation for Blues, Hawaiian and Country traditions continues to rebound, new styles of slide playing are emerging, and old world styles of slide, as in India, are being discovered for the first time by western audiences.
