The Dobro is also high on my list of wannaplays. But the number one is, believe it or not, the Pedal Steel Guitar, you know, that thing that looks like an electric cheese slicer. It's funny though, because I'm NOT a fan of Country/ Western music, (at least not in the modern, commercial sense). But some of the stuff Jerry Garcia and Sneaky Pete did on various Byrds, New Riders, Gram Parsons, not to mention Brewer and Shipley's "Oh Mommy" just just send the old shivers down my osteoarthritic spine. A guy showed me a few basics at Guitar City in Denver a long time ago, and I left with two thoughts: The pedal steel is very expensive, and very difficult to learn to play.
