Fast Forward to 2:20 to hear The Po' Ramblin' Boys "Hickory, Walnut and Pine";

Pretty sure that C.J. is playing (Jerry Rosa's) Uncle Don Brown's '24 Loar. The guitar player's G run could take your...

John Reischman just revealed the album cover and name of his upcoming solo album on Instagram and we have something to add to this. Some info at the link below which appears on his new Instagram...

Just ordered 6 large triangle 1.3 mm picks from Banjo Ben’s, based largely on David Benedict’s love of them in his YouTube pick review video and this thread reminding me that I wanted to try them,...

look up the traveling samplers, 2 of them, I think they're traveling again, or will be soon

Same for me [received the Tone-Gard yesterday] and I'll add that it fits well on my Silverangel and fits into a Hoffee case.

And thanks to Banjo Ben for prompt service.:)

Actually I was just wondering. I like luthiers and have maintained conversations with many. They usually love to talk shop, as do I. I do have a wonderful local luthier, Luke Wilson, whom I trust...

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Hypocrite.

Right? A lot of electric guitarists these days are using no pick, going with the soft touch. It makes for a smoother attack. I can see Carlos using a hard pick, the way he likes to play lots of fast...

Yep. Another "amen." I choose the pick which sounds best to my ear. Whether the audience can tell the difference (which isn't likely anyway), I am the one who listens to my playing more than anyone...

Just curious as to why audiences keep being brought up? Do any musicians decide on what pick they use (or fiddle bow, or drum sticks) based on whether the audience can hear the difference? I've...

So should he just use a Fender Heavy and be done with it since the audience won't hear the value? I'd wager that Chris Thile makes his pick choices based on whether the pick feels good to play with,...

' project '. American euphamism for junk.

Haven’t read this thread yet but just downloaded the album and looking forward to some more “Hot Bluegrass” from Chris!








;)

It's really nice and refreshing to read a discussion of music on the internet that is respectful of different folks personal tastes and opinions! I've yet to listen to the full album yet, but having...

My youngest has been asking me to teach her chords... fast forward... 3 weeks ago I bought my first mandolin back and did a tune up. Fast forward again, so today is her bday. I gave her the Rogue...

Read the rest of this thread for an answer to your question.

Or the myriads of other threads on the subject.

But I'll also answer your question: a lot.

One would hope they would.

I find the unscooped Florida is also a good reminder about right hand location, which can move forward toward the nut for richness on the bass courses but must come back toward the bridge for added...

When I hear the pick click on my Gibson it reminds me that the pick is digging into the strings too far rather than just skipping over them enough to make noise, I use it as a reminder to clean up my...

I've been known to occasionally go up and get an E [24th fret], but not very often. I've also been known to remove the 23rd fret and replace it with a maple strip ground flush so I can get that E...

Congratulations! I oscillate between the J74 and J75 gauges, and have had 2 mandolins in particular that just sung with 75s: an overbuilt Kentucky 675-S and a Silverangel Econo. The latter is my “one...

I started out as a violinist when I was 8 years old and fell in love with the instrument. I was actually pretty good, always second chair in the First Violin section of the city youth orchestra. I...

Regarding the flat-slap sound, that's mostly controlled by the pick holding angle. Very subtle angle changes can make a huge difference in both tone and volume. A little experimentation with the...

I've just turned 70, and it apparently does not get better.
