Sorry forgot to quote you :)
I’ve been deep in the rabbit hole for a couple of years now. These are the tunes I would recommend for anyone new to Choro.
Benzinho
Nao me Toques
Recieta de Samba
Santa Morena
Doce de Coco
In addition to the benefits already stated above, I find that an armrest helps offset the weight of the headstock. Especially on an F5 shape with a tonegard on.
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
I’m a subscriber as well. I’m pretty sure it is one of the only online course for classical mandolin out there. As Kurth stated, you should be able to read standard notation and have more than an...
I was playing my octave on stage and a fellow came up and said “what is that an oud?” Seemed odd that he knew of an oud but not a big mandolin. Another time I was in the park playing some of the...

I lost my good friend last year. She was my audience on most nights.

Made this recording a few years ago. I learned it by ear from the original tv theme. It’s not terribly difficult to play.

I was in a class with Caterina Lichtenberg and asked her this very question. She uses DDUD. It helps to play the first 4 notes of bar 17 DUDU, then start the pattern on the 2nd beat. I really like...
I have one, an older model with the dark cherry color. I think that its a good solid instrument for it's price. After a while MAS kicked in and I knew there was a better mando out there so I...
Dos Equis, of course.
Stay Thirsty my Friends! ~:>
I use the orange gaskets that are on the top of a Grolsh beer bottle on all my guitars and mandos.

So I found a backtrack to Heart of the Sunrise that is the actual studio recording with the guitars removed. After practicing many hours over a couple of days, this is what I've got. I've been...
I don't know where the proper board is to put this so I'll post it here. Some of my co-workers are always humming this melody to Game of Thrones so I decided to learn it. Played on bouzouki and...
BB King, more than anyone, showed me that good tone doesn't come from fancy equipment or expensive instruments. Good tone comes from the hands.
Hey cafe. I'm going to the Swannanoa Gathering in August. I'll be flying into Asheville with my Northfield, the usual mando accessories, some clothes, my backpack, and a few electronic goodies...
