Shuckin' the Corn
 
The Flatt and Scruggs instrumental “Shuckin’ the Corn” features a classic dobro solo by Josh Graves. You’ll learn a break to “Shuckin’ the Corn” inspired by Josh’s solo in this lesson. Mike plays the whole solo through slowly and then takes it apart, measure by measure. You’ll learn the first part of “Shuckin’ the Corn,” which includes some typical Josh Graves roll patterns and one variation, in this video.

Foggy Mountain Rock 
 
The bluesy dobro instrumental “Foggy Mountain Rock” is another tune by Josh Graves, which he wrote while playing with Flatt and Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys. Thus, the title. It’s a 12-bar blues in G with a bridge, which was usually played by the banjo, but you’ll learn a dobro part for that section in this lesson as well. Mike starts by playing the A part through and then breaks it down, phrase by phrase. He also shows you some different options for playing the B part, including a cool lick he learned from one of his mentors, the great Los Angeles–area dobro player Leroy Mack.
