Well, I am guilty of excusing my lack of like concerning some music. I don´t feel burdened by it. But as a matter of taste, some music is just not to my taste (some Schönberg f.ex.). On the other...

I think that we all can agree on one thing: The Punch Bros. - like them or not - are world class musicians that can dance circles around your hitparade star musician that may be on the media every...

I am absolutely loving this album. I love the original album as well. If you try and compare this to the original you will likely be quite disappointed. If you listen to this as what it is, a...

Hi. I run a podcast called Bluegrass Jam Along. I normally keep updates about it to the 'Jams, workshops...' section of the forum to avoid spamming too much, but I thought this one might be of wider...

I've seen bits and pieces of this Austin City Limits episode but never the complete video. What an absolute joy to witness all of these greats together. And a huge thanks to the person responsible...

Hi Gary,
the great thing about playing the mandolin(greatest instrument in the world) is that by virtue of being tuned in fifths, the layout of the fretboard, scale, mode and chord...

On the whole 4 Jazz albums things ( while I love all the traditional stuff Tony did - it was the 4 Spacegrass albums that left my jaw on the floor) Wayne Benson talks about this music in length and...

Here's what I have. Two .pdf files. Notation and Notation + Tab. I arpeggiated the last chord to approximate the split chord the way the cellists bow it. Measure 26 has a B natural instead of a Bb,...
