Dave Giegerich
Dave Giegerich has been playing resophonic guitar for over 30 years. While a student at Michigan State in the early 1970's, he was a fan of the dobro playing (back then it was still called dobro!) of slide guitar master Duane Allman. When he saw a Tut Taylor record featuring dobro instrumentals he bought it and immediately fell in love with the sound of the instrument played lap style. He took an old guitar and, using a pencil to raise the strings, started learning the instrument. He soon discovered the music of Mike Auldridge, who became his biggest influence. He played with several bluegrass and old time groups while working at Elderly Instruments in the 1970's. More...
