This senior just noticed that he switched the 6 and the 5.😂

I think the key for me is the difference between memorizing the song vs memorizing the notes. The song is the sum of the groove/rhythm, the melody and the lyrics and the emotions that accompany them....

This is my latest 4th generation flat top mandolin. This is the culmination of 12 years of work improving the sound of the flat top mandolin. It all started from the fact that it is possible to...

My transcription of Etude Op.45 Nr.4 by Franz Wohlfahrt (1833-1884), originally written for violin but also useful for mandolin. In the preface to Etudes Op.45 the maestro says:

I use a TC Wiretap pedal to record a short snippet and then put it on repeat. Then I can try different effects, preamps, PA/mixer settings, locations in rooms, etc with a standard reference, and can...

So, I ran the Tone Dexter and Grace Bix through my Scarlett Interface and played around with 2 different mandolins with K and Ks. In my opinion the Tone Dexter has a much more natural sound than the...

Hi Josh,
In my experience, the only way to do these A-B tests is to record samples into your DAW and and listen back with studio monitors or good headphones. You'll have the best chance of pin...

At $350-$420, these cases aren’t cheap (to me, at least, but then I’ve never bought $600-$2000 cases), but I’ve been wanting ONE case to carry both a mandolin and violin to jams or on trips. I was...

I had a chance recently to compare and contrast two 2-channel acoustic preamp pedal units, the Radial Tonebone PZ-Pro and the EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Acoustic Preamp. Both are aimed at acoustic...

Depends. Is it a Rogue or a Gilchrist?

I wouldn't want the Mando to sleep any colder than me. Will it get lonely and perhaps go with a passing stranger? I've heard they sometimes do that.

HI Folks! This pretty little tune was written for the accordian, and I could not figure out the the chords on the 6-string. Annd I'm probably using the wrong chords here, but.... Thanks for the...

I wasn't sure where to put this since it's not technically a video of me. It's also both lutherie/builder content and a video. Hopefully this is OK.

Here's some pictures of the...

I thought folks on this board might be interested in this video I made of the classic western swing fiddle tune Red Wing. I like exercises that force you to be creative within specific parameters - I...

Hi guys,

I’m keeping it. I’m working it out with the vendor and it will end up being a pretty sweet deal.

goodness, everybody on this are top shelf. Sam Bush playing mandolin and bass, quick glimpse of him holding a blonde mando(does he have a new axe?), Bela, Tony T, Michael on fiddle and as always is a...

That's a favourite at a local session - great fun to play - especially the B part which you can really attack and play with vigour ;) Good to see it here too!

Trying a fun little exercise of learning a Ronnie McCoury solo a day. Maybe I underestimated how difficult this would be but let's find out :))
