The dobro in a song

A dobro is a resonator guitar, built with a metal cone in the body that makes it loud and bright without amplification. It is usually played lap-style with a steel bar, which gives long glides between notes and a crying, singing tone. It belongs to bluegrass, country, Americana and roots music, where it fills the gaps between vocal lines with slides, fills and solos.

Who wants it alone

• Dobro and slide players who want to hear a bar technique clearly, slow down a slide and copy the phrasing.
• Bluegrass and country bands that need a track without the dobro for rehearsal.
• Producers who want to lift a fill that was buried under the vocal.
• Sample makers who need a slide phrase.

Dobro or pedal steel?

Both slide, and both appear in country music, so they are the usual mix-up. A pedal steel is usually smoother and more sustained, with big sweeping bends and a lush, almost vocal swell. A dobro is sharper at the start of the note and has a metallic edge. If the track has a pedal steel, use the Pedal Steel Extractor. An acoustic guitar can also leak into the file; the Acoustic Guitar Extractor is the page for it. The Banjo Extractor and the Plucked Strings Extractor are good companions for bluegrass tracks.
