"For quite a few years now, Rob Anderlik's elegant site has been a treasure trove of audio, video, and transcriptions for use by anyone who is working to build their repertoire and instrumental skills on the resophonic guitar. Exercises, full song arrangements, and even lively interviews with top players, and all of this is available to anyone who wants to take advantage of it. I've learned a tremendous amount from Rob Anderlik, and I've never even met him in person. I recommend it all the time."

"The two things I like best about Rob's site are its width and its depth. The tabs and audio/video clips run the gamut of styles from folk to blues to bluegrass; and whatever your level of proficiency, you'll find something to challenge you and make you stretch--from exercises, to simple beginner's tunes to intermediate standards to knucklebusters and lots in between. What impresses me the most is not merely Rob's considerable skill as a musician. It's his commitment to the instrument, and to helping everyone and anyone derive the greatest joy and satisfaction from the music they make. Whenever I've lobbed an email question Rob's way, within a day I'd receive a detailed (but perfectly lucid) answer as well as suggestions and supplementary information, all of which helped make me a better player. Most of us will never approach Rob's level of playing. But for those of us who merely want to be the best we can be (apologies to the US Army), Rob's site is an invaluable resource. As is he."

"Rob's enthusiasm for all things dobro is highly contagious. You can tell immediately by taking a class or viewing his website that Rob eats, breathes and sleeps dobro." Rob teaches in such a way that empowers the student, allowing the lesson not only to be learned, but to be adapted to real world situations (i.e. jams, studio work, etc.). His focus on ear training, tone, and putting feeling into what you are playing is a lesson that is invaluable to every musician. He has provided a wealth of resophonic guitar information through his website, likely one of the only websites that has been so thoughtfully produced with the dobro student in mind. A fantastic resource for beginners and advanced players alike."

- Tony P.

"Rob is really excited about his instrument and about teaching, and it comes across in every class. I can tell he prepares thoroughly before each class or lesson. Rob shows us that the dobro is versatile for just about any genre, but also adapts the instruction to what each student wants to learn. His website is a great resource for practicing material between classes, and he updates it according to what students are working on."

- Karen Z.

"Chicago is very lucky to have Rob Anderlik available to teach the dobro. This isn't an easy instrument to just pick up and play, so a good teacher who lays down the proper fundamentals is critical to a new player. Rob's that teacher. Rob does it all. He provides the tabs, the right hand technique, the measure by measure instruction, and slow and regular speed video of the music so you can practice at home and learn the lesson, song and technique. You would be surprised how much you miss during a live lesson that you see and learn at your own pace at home.
