For a long time I used 'Lowballer' in my profile, but I just found the perfect replacement!

Yep. Indeed, the list of signatories to that letter struck me as somewhat interesting given the fact that many of those newer artists owe at least some of their success to an algorithm that promoted...

Ha! Yeah it is from this collection: https://www.cranfordpub.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CPOS&Product_Code=SV-b&Category_Code=S

There is no information about the original...

Thanks, Ranald!

I can’t see how I would play both ascending and descending lines at the same time. Am I supposed to?

Just came across this artist on YouTube--new to me but turns out she was featured on Mandolin Mondays a couple of years ago. As usual Dave B is way ahead of the curve! This recent video is a real...

Thanks, Brad! I know that an OP can't moderate discussion on their own post, but I realize that I missed the mark (badly) with my choice of title. My intention was precisely to call attention to this...

It's that time again! Time to bust out the five volumes of Winter's Tale and start playing through this fabulous collection of tunes. If you are a beginner, new to mandolin and trying to learn to...

And the beginning. And in the middle. :)

I like their videos. They have a little nice little Click and Clack thing going.

You know when you hear the news that a celebrity has passed and your first thought is "wait, they were still alive?" Well, as an at best casual BG fan, when I saw this thread title my first thought...

A video posted in another thread reminded me that I was going to post the link below. Given the number of discussions of beginner mandolins and the frequent recommendations of the Kentucky KM-150 and...

Well, there is a tiny bit of mandolin content, as noted by JeffD in the long-running thread 'Random mandolin sightings':...

Interesting, yours includes the chord changes:

Seeing the album art for Gambit by Ethan Setiawan on the main page got me thinking it would be amazing to have a whole chess set with pieces inspired by mandolin headstocks. Here is my first attempt:...

This tracks. I read once that the 'F' in F5 actually stands for 'feline' (the scroll being meant to evoke the curl of a cat's tail). Whereas the '5' in F5 is the number of seconds in a cat's life...

Nice! Sounds great. Looks like everyone is having a great time too!
