Not sure what constitutes the "current spotlight", as Sturgill has been making waves for the last 7-8 years on the edges of country music. He's part of a push against mainstream country, and I, for...

Here is my latest Piccolo (Sopranino) Mandolin build, completed just a few days ago. I am still tweaking the setup, but am pleased with it already. I love its sweet, clear voice...

Having been through most of the material I can say that it may be helpful to watch the first videos and get an overview of the modules and then proceed to a song you like. It is tough to get the...

It took me a few weeks but I finally made it thru the 1st video, alot of concepts to work on, refine, and apply to my playing. I have used several of Chris’ tune videos so im used to his teaching...

I think it's a huge value and a must-buy for anyone interested enough in Monroe style to be reading this thread.

How much you get out of it, though, depends on you: Do you need a teacher who...

I started with a combination of in person lessons, and online training. I love the video response format of online learning, and the ability to access online lessons anytime I want. I dropped my in...

Good Luck!

I finally extracted this video from my Facebook timeline. It's an impromptu jam between Chris Henry and Blaine Sprouse on Bill Monroe's birthday in 2014 while members of Peter Rowan's Bluegrass band...

I imagine the presence of that enormous pipe in the picture, and what may be in it, speaks volumes. ;)

I don't agree with your points regarding the public perception of the seriousness of the...

1. I sometimes wonder why moderate expenditures -- up to a few hundred dollars -- by one spouse, have to be "approved" by the other spouse. I don't look over my wife's shoulder to see what she's...

The problem is that you asked. It's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Developing a scheduled routine is sometimes the most efficient and effective way to progress. In my opinion, you will make the best progress if you make time for (1) scheduled, focused practice...

Loved the live stream show tonight. As a long time fan of Prairie Home I think Chris Thile is a great choice as host. Not a replacement for Garrison mind you, who could do that? But instead a...

Didn't go to the Gibson area. They always locate in a remote spot upstairs because, well, they're Gibson, so they have to do something to stick out differently it seems. I think it rarely works and...

I brought one of my mandos to the hospital recently to play at the bedside of my 85-year-old mother who's in there right now. Had to play very quietly of course. It was late night (about 2 am) but...

The great thing about looking at the classifieds, it doesn't cost me one cent. I love my Weber Yellowstone and I love my wife (of 45 years) but, I still like to look. :whistling:

I'm completely compulsive about keeping up with the classifieds, especially the gibsons. it's not just a matter of MAS, but a matter of learning.I love looking at mandolins and studying them,current...

Hi Zeek, I made sure the action was dialed in before it was sent. :-)

So that's for 2015. But what about 2016? :grin:

I shall continue to make comments on esoteric threads about gadgets and beliefs which ignore the laws of physics, and I promise that I won't get...
