Hope this works...

Pickups generally have an adjustment screw at each end to raise and lower the pickup. Some have individual adjustments for each string. Assuming yours has the screws at eachend ... adjust tone...

I also use iRealPro but it sounds a bit canned.

I bought a looper pedal about a year ago. Only started playing with it for a few days. It seems more organic than a recording or band in a box. But (a big but) you have to be able to A. Plug it...

At a moment of possible insanity, I figured that I could complicate my life even further by learning the fiddle at 72. I only just started the mandolin 8 months ago. My thought was I could do both...

There is also a jam every Monday night in Takoma Park, I never make it because I bowl on Mondays, The info is listed on the DC Bluegrass Union web site...If you can figure out how it works, they...

I once put a dampit into a guitar, and used the plastic disc that came with it into the soundhole. Neck block swole up and slightly deformed the top.

I've given up sticking things in instruments...

You mentioned Arpeggios - have you tried Tim O'Brien's arp exercises?

I like to play them at various speeds to a backing track. I learn a set, practice them, work on tone, then play with my own...

I have Mobile Sheets Pro on a cheap generic Android tablet and a couple of my colleagues have it installed on their tablets (I do not know the make of the tablets) and we all have found it stable and...

I play the fretted violin and never looked back

I started learning the "devils instrument' at 50, I'm 53 now. Like everyone else, it sounded like I was killing a cat at first. Got better with a...

Got one ordered. Fitting it should be a learning experience for me. Looks like lots of good info out there so it shouldn't be rocket surgery. :)

As one who is always looking for new mandolin sites, I found this new one with lots of free tabs. I was impressed with how it put together. Any other new ones i should check out??

Anyone going to Chantilly Farm festival in Floyd Va. Memorial day weekend. A great place for a festival with good groups, plenty of dry camping ( a few full hook- up but they are gone by last year)...
