TC Polytune in every case. Be it acoustic guitar, acoustic mandolin, electric guitar, electric mandolin

I just turn the volume down for silent tuning…don’t see the need for a tuning pedal anymore.

Happy Birthday Norman!!

Here is a somewhat recent video

Yeah I never had a problem with my EJ74s. I suppose string (and pick) experimentation is a minor form of g.a.s. I did just read something interesting on another forum. Someone paraphrased Tommy...

I took some correspondence lessons form John way back when. I recently came across the original sheets he mailed me. They were done in pencil. I decided to re-scan them and share here. Some nice...

The Radex picks are very nice also.

Finally got around to string up my mandolin with these. I purchased the non-coated variety as that is what I prefer. As I was stringing my mandolin up, I noticed both the wound and plain strings had...

Awesome; for those that don't have it the two Homespun Video Bill Monroe courses have loads of great quality footage of the master.

I have a three pack arriving of their set that would be comparable to EJ74s (medium gauge non coated).

Will report back next week.

On the Mandolins and Beer podcast the mandolin player from...

I too often play guitar and mandolin however, interestingly enough, I plug into the same channel and then I can just tweak the tone knob for EQ. It takes a second to tweak the tone knob and the...

You will not be sorry with the Red Eye. I always recommend the Red Eye Twin as it has more features and allows silent tuning by switching to the unused channel.

At $295 its a steal. I had a Grace...

Thanks just ordered six; always on the look out for something "better."

Great playing….I always dug this video too. Gerry Hundt

Plenty of books on that topic but a video may be more enlightening so you can hear the phrasing which is just as important as the note choice. Jazz guitarist and educator Barry...

Below is a link to Brett’s YT channel where he plays and TABs on the screen some of his 101 mandolin blues licks. I have not purchased this book but I do have his Jazz Guitar Looper book and I will...

As far as I know besides YouTube videos

Rich Del Grosso’s book
Steve James Homespun courses
Mandolin Blues book by the Italian guys
I Love Cappuccino (mandolin solo) by Michael Reichenbach

My copy arrived last week, and I went through the entire thing in a sort of general overview. There’s lots of great things to be learned, and I would say it is more of a beginners book But plenty to...

Even before listening to the Will Kimble Mandolins and Beer podcast I was curious about the whereabouts of Kimble AO #101 that I ordered from Will. It was a great mandolin and I miss it :). I had...

Sorry couldn’t let this go. Have you ever seen Tommy play live?

In my opinion his playing is vastly different than Chet’s. Tommy is a musician of the highest caliber and depth. Yes he is the...

This may help. I did this video a long time ago.

Ordered and awaiting! Looking forward to learning some new tricks. Like how it covers some rhythmic approaches as well as single line stuff..

Thanks for the heads up Rene.

As Aaron mentioned it’s all about the songs. Learn some standards and eventually the theory will reveal itself. It is helpful to take a lead sheet and note the chord functions with roman numerals....

A real oldie. I did this lesson over 10 years ago It’s all improvised blues and attempts to demonstrate how to highlight the 3rd and 7th of the chord of the moment to “play the changes”.

Your instinct is wrong. Completely wrong. First of all each ArtistWorks “school” has a very detailed paced curriculum. Secondly the artists are extremely dedicated and the video responses is a...

I came up with this arrangement many years ago. Here is the TAB
