If you are not travelling a lot and don't beat your instrument around, I really love my Reunion Blues gig bag. It's very padded and sturdy and very light. I wouldn't throw it in the back of a truck...

I’ve always been of the mindset that I buy the thing to play, so I’m gonna play it. But I’m also not bothered by character marks or dings either.

I'd let him take the risk on the investment then. All your questions are very difficult to answer in terms of how easy it would be to sell. Depends on the market at the time, if someone happens to be...

I find this discussion interesting, and probably something I'm going to need to think about with my daughter if she pursues music. I think assuredly everyone is a little bit different, but I guess my...

I find this to be a very real thing. You get used to the sound, the specifics of how an instrument plays, what to expect, etc. I don't play many different mandolins. It makes it very difficult to...

I think Sam Bush still plays a fiddle he found at a yard sale way back when

I forget my tone guard is on until I read a thread on the cafe that mentions them. It's been a permanent fixture on my collings mf for as long as I can remember

Fantastic version! I've been working on this the last couple of days. That whole Aubrey Haynie album is fantastic.

On my collings I have one on the tuner towards the other end of the headstock. Just depends on shape of your mandolin and layout of your tuners. The only negative about these is that you can't share...

Just wondering if anyone has checked out his new record. Fantastic, fantastic stuff. I glossed over his playing for a long time, but the more I listen to him the more impressed I am. He gets such...

Just so this is on the internet for posterity-- in the Punch Brothers set Chris Eldridge just played Tony Rice's second solo from Cattle in the Cane note for note while Noam Pikelny doubled the same...

Anyone seen this video? This is incredible stuff. Tune is called Hopped the Train to Hudson written by Mike Barnett. Not sure if he was the full time fiddle player in her band at the time or was...

Crashing and burning is, in my opinion, the best way to learn improvisation. There's nothing that gets your attention more than messing up and hearing what doesn't work in the context of an actual...

I don't have tab, but I do have a youtube video of myself playing it that is pretty close to the recording. I also uploaded a slow version of it a few years ago for someone who had asked. Not...

So, I had the pleasure of seeing the Punch Brothers last night in Atlanta. It's been a few years since I've had the pleasure of seeing them live, and I was absolutely blown away. Despite the fact...

Hey Alan, there is still a seller on Amazon selling one for about 50. I hate paying so much for a book like this, but I went ahead and bought one. They seem pretty rare, and I'd rather have one that...
