Most dobro books are written in tablature, which is a visual approach to playing the dobro that tells you which strings to play and which fret to hold down with the bar. Tablature can be used for any tuning. Right hand finger usage can also be indicated as well as techniques like slides, pull-offs, etc.

Dobro DVDs

Take a dobro lesson from the comfort of your home with a dobro lesson DVD from Lakes Music. A DVD is a great way to take a dobro lesson because you can rewind and replay sections, unlike with an instructor. Many DVD's use split screen so you can see a close up of the right and left bar hand. Taking a dobro lesson on DVD costs much less that lessons a dobro instructor and you can view it several times over.
