The Woodshed Study Group
It's a good thing to "woodshed" - to study music and practice your instrument in isolation. But there's a lot of value in comparing notes, and working together with others through a course of materials as well. This group works its way through some of the popular curriculum for playing mandolin. The idea is to choose a curriculum, work our way through it with lesson assignments, share our progress, and when we finish with one curriculum we'll choose another. I'm your host for leading the group studies, but I'm not a teacher, just a fellow student seeking to advance by working through the materials and sharing with others.

"Mandolin Master Class" Study Group -
Once A Week Jethro Burns Mandolin Playing - Zoom Discussion
Howdy! This social group is for any swingin' mandolin pickers interested in a once-a-week discussion of Jethro Burns ideas and approach to the mandolin and music. We can pick one tune to look over or just simply one idea. There's so much to explore as far as Jethro Burns playing such as theoretical ideas, his own technique to playing the mandolin, plus swing repertoire. Of course there is a bunch of online material to take from but together we can learn by diving in as a group!
Only thing needed is an open mind and a mandolin :-)
Please no bad attitudes. Let's keep this a fun conversation and a focused discussion. Please send me an email if interested!Category: MiscellaneousLast Activity: Feb-07-2023 12:28am

Mando Radio Show Network
Seems many of us that frequent the Mandolincafe have bluegrass, oldtime, country and Americana radio shows. Due to our shared interest most of us feature the mandolin in some way, shape or form.
From online podcast to college radio, this group is to network with each other and to help spread the word to the community about non-commercial, mando-related radio.Category: Special EventsLast Activity: Mar-19-2016 12:47pm

Welcome! For over 10 years, we had a poll, and an Official Tune. These polls are on hold for now. Please browse through the tune discussions in the three Table of Contents, & learn, comment on, or submit your video in the discussion, regardless of when it was originally posted.
While there will not be any new "official tunes", we still welcome new tune submissions! If you've got a favorite tune that doesn't already have a discussion, please submit it, with the name of the tune as the subject of a new discussion.
We also welcome general discussion posts!
