My favorite.

Wow, regardless of how you guys feel about Gibson, the OP posted to show their enthusiasm for their new mando. It seems a bit mean-spirited to try to diminish that. :(

He said near a window, not in a window. Sounds like it will only get partial afternoon sun.

I'd look at the Mandolin Store or Elderly and see what is on offer. You can email them to see if they have any specials going and you can be sure the mandolin has been checked over and set up...

I am doing the slow thing too. Use tefView and go to MandoZine and pick out some of the beginner tabs to work on, and slow them down to the very slowest and work your way up. Pick out the tabs and...

You're not alone. I got some great tips in a post I made recently. Maybe it will encourage you too! http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?107446-Sticking-to-it

So I have classical training (not on mandolin) and read notation very well. I have never been able to pick up tab and read it very quickly, whether when I was learning guitar or ukulele or now...

We are strictly small-time and have done a few small gigs around Brisbane, Pete. We only have enough for about a 30 minute set right now! The band has been going for about a year but I just joined in...

Awesome. And dang, I do have a stand for my mandolin. It's the prettiest thing in the house, I've gotta look at it! It's right next to my husband's double bass. We have strange decor in the lounge...

Thanks Pete! We are called the Bumsteaders, because we are an offshoot from BUMS, the Brisbane Ukulele Musicians Society.

I have a history of having a red hot obsession for a new hobby or interest, to the point that I go through a phase where I don't want to think about, talk about, read about anything else and I live...

I don't understand why you care what other people spend their money on?

Lovely! Is that turquoise?

Gorgeous!

Again, works for me. Not sure what is wrong. It's on Facebook but it's on a public page.

I'm one of those who posted several months ago that my fingers were too short and I'd never manage 4-finger chops. Several of you encouraged me and even posted measurements of your hands so I could...

Uke is fun. It's approachable. The tuning makes chords really easy to form and the nylon strings mean your fingers don't hurt. You can play your basic four chords in C, F, G, D your first day. It's...

I love the singer's voice in that first clip.

I don't know if a goldrush counts as unconventional. It's more butterscotch than blonde.

This SMART framework is used quite often in the corporate world and I have experience there as a manager. Let's see if I can help.

Specific: it needs to be a small chunk of work. Not "get better"...

Thanks Rush, the Dunn is great. Greg is local to me too, which is super. I count him as a friend.

Melissa, I saw your good news and had been following your deliberations about the F5G. It sure is...

She's gorgeous!!! I will post photos when I can. I actually took a bunch but realized they all have spots on them. I need to get my phone camera looked at so I have made a Genius appointment for this...

One way to think about the degrees of a scale is the amount of tension they introduce to the ear. Your ear wants to resolve from more tension to less tension. The degree of tension from least to most...
