![]() ![]() If you are planning to play bluegrass and are even half serious about it I suggest either a Beard or Scheerhorn bar - but they are quite a bit different, plus Beard makes a few different types. ![]() Some players - who rarely play bluegrass - have made do with the back end of a bullet bar, but the shape is still different from almost every "resonator" bar. You simply can't play pulloffs with a bullet-nose. It makes a huge difference playing bluegrass. ![]() I use a Scheerhorn, Beard, or Lap Dawg dobro bar exclusively and wouldn't think of using anything else. you'l find that most people on dedicated dobro sites like resonhangout, use a dobro bar. You'll find most people here that double on dobro, use some sort of bullet bar. All those techniques are nearly impossible without a dobro bar.īut if you are used to gliding the bar across the strings back and forth, well, much easier to do that with a bullet bar. dobro players spend more than 50% of their time with the bar tilted, and touching one string, lots of open strings, hammer ons, pull offs. Pedal and lap steel players are used to keeping that bar on the strings all the time. If you want to play dobro more like a lapsteel and you are already used to a bullet bar, you might want to try a smaller one so you can move around the neck more. For Bluegrass or if you want to play like Jerry Douglas, Mike Auldridge, or Rob Ickes, it is essential. It depends on what kind of music you want to play on it.
