Glen Duncan says that Bill's right hand employed pure Classical Technique (but not that he "got" it from there)
There are numerous examples of Monroe's Tremolo on the Bluebird Recordings and "Master...

So sad to hear this news. Jesse was one of my heroes, a friend and mentor. Another giant of the mandolin has left us. Rest in peace, Jesse.
As a teen I was obsessed with the banjo. Jesse McReynolds was the first mandolin player that I actually stopped, and listened to, and starting thinking, man, that is a cool sound with all those...
Sad news. And yes, a very nice fellow indeed.
And a true virtuoso. He took the instrument on paths that no one else dares to tread, not even now.
The last time I saw him, The Virginia Boys and...
Ask and ye shall receive :) This came up in my feed today. It is all of that as he does Cold Cold Heart.

Sorry couldn’t let this go. Have you ever seen Tommy play live?
In my opinion his playing is vastly different than Chet’s. Tommy is a musician of the highest caliber and depth. Yes he is the...
I find your statement very interesting. When I am listening to DG i want to listen to him play and not to him play a genre. When I listen to "Traversata" (desert island recording by Beppe Gambetta...
So far the comments have been quite interesting to me.
Frankly, I find Tommy's jazz playing to be more enjoyable than Grisman's. Grisman is a giant of the mandolin and one of the most important...
It's the anniversary of the famed Monroe video!
Hey I don’t have tab but here’s a nice workshop where Joe K Walsh teaches it. Definitely some tab out there. It’s a pretty simple melody.

That's probably the serenade scene from Mozart's Don Giovanni. The aria is titled "Deh vieni alla finestra"-- in English, "come to the window."
For those of you who know the old Don Juan story,...
Dusepo has probably heard of this guy, these electric ouds are so cool

1. So who's heard the Canadian/British "answer song" to Jimmy Driftwood/Johnny Horton's Battle of New Orleans? Battle of Queenston Heights "enjoyed" some airplay here in the 1950's; it really,...
I'm sure the battle resulted in a heroic victory, but the war was already over, so, in the grand scheme of things, it didn't make much difference who won. It was a tragedy really, but it gave us a...
Fascinating, on many levels

Took the liberty to increase the size of the text on this one. I have pretty good eyes but that's pretty hard to read and some aren't going to know how to use the browser tools to increase it.

I have a very strong sense that LL knew he was responsible for something special in the F5 Master Model. He was an excellent musician, and a very bright guy. I also believe that he knew he was 'ahead...
I was commissioned to make and engrave what I understand to be a period correct tailpiece cover for a Lloyd Loar mandolin. It took me four tries to get one to fit right but I was not happy with the...
