    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    Caleb, good to hear from my fellow metroplex mandolin player! You've described my playing, except at this stage I could only play chords, not add the coloring you've described. I think that's fine...

    Re: Church Praise Band Question

    Dan, we probably have an average attendance of about 150. I've played 2 or 3 solos with piano accompaniment, which seemed to go over well. Several members have asked why I don't play with the...

    Re: Music Library for Samsung Tablet???

    My own music isn't the problem. In fact, I could take only chord sheets for what I plan to play, which would be very little paper. What I like about the tablet and stand is less to carry and the...

    I also got that once, David. PM me your email address and I'll share directly from the page I'm seeing. Maybe that will work.
  7. Re: Treating Trigger Finger - My First Cortisone Injection

    Brad, looks like you've gotten lots of advice here. Just to add my 2 cents, I tried the injection once. It was painful and was not long lasting. My next 2 trigger fingers were treated with...

    Music Library for Samsung Tablet???

    I rarely have the opportunity to play with others, but was able to play at an open jam today. There I was with my music stand and notebooks with paper copies of some stuff I can play. Everyone else...

    Re: SIMPLE Editing Software for PC

    Actually, Don, I did mean to ask how to crop a video. I just tried the steps you mentioned and right clicking the video didn't give me an "Edit & Create" option.

    I do appreciate the photo...

    Re: Newb's first day

    Ditto to all suggestions. I, too, started in my 60s and now am 6 years in. I hope you'll pay special attention to Louise's "B." I remember those early days how I would play through the pain of tender...

    Re: NMD and a little story

    Re: Is It Possible to Fake It?

    Not too long ago an instructor worked with me on using Pentatonic scales to improvise. I thought it wasn't too terribly difficult and, for the most part, sounded pretty cool. However, mandocrucian...

    Performed my first solo today and recorded it! My (#2) teacher told me at a lesson on Wednesday just to play from the pentatonic scale notes in key of A. I was elated to find it wasn't difficult and...

    Re: Gospel Sheet Music or Chord Charts

    That one looks good. I looked at several today, but didn't have the time to narrow them down. Too bad there aren't (are there?) books with music that matches an individual's voice range. That's a...
