Still a bit rough but I just discovered this lovely little foot tapper and had to share.
I’ve posted the PDF and TAB in YT details.
I think it sounds OldTime.
Hope you guys enjoy it.

Is canned air just air, or is there some kind of propellant that we wouldn't want on our instruments? I'm a bit leery.

On e-cloths, I looked on amazon as well, after stringalong mentioned it, and...

Paint brush.

Not to be a smarta*s, but I'd keep 'em in their cases. For reasons including, but not limited to, dust protection.

You can find at a general music store, a variety of soft-bristled tools for use...

Just take a rag and slide it between the frets and the strings.

I use a medium sized paint/artist brush, I’ve also used a woman’s makeup brush the kind they use for putting on their blush. Both are pretty soft bristled.

Hi fellow mandolin lovers. For some sort of continuity I've decided to start this thread to post my videos.Most all my music is done here in my kitchen. Low tech. Tascam DR07 mk-ll, no effects, for...

Many thanks, Stringalong, and very kind of you to offer. I am not going to be near my computer at the time you mention this evening - I believe it is 8 hours time difference between PST and my time...

You need to find the folder in which your mp3 is stored on your computer, Stringalong, and also the folder with your picture(s) in it.
Open VSDC Then from the Start Project Now screen which comes up...

That can be a problem with cafe and restaurant venues, yes. You're taking up space, and some people won't even order a coffee or beer in appreciation for having a place to play music. They'll just...

Another thread brought this to mind.

I was gifted a MIJ "Flamenco" mandolin when I was five to nine years old, passed down to me from an elderly neighbour in the early 70's. I never heard him...

Mel bay has an excellent book on using the oentatonic scale.

After you've exhausted the tonic over tonic (c over c) try a g over c. The notes you use are all diatonic to the scale. G A B D E.
...

"There are some notes in the pentatonic that don't harmonize with other notes that are in the same-key major scale. I thought pentatonic scales were supposed to harmonize 100% with a key scale?"

The whole reason I went to the mandolin way back in the day was because it wasn't a guitar. Didn't look like a guitar, sound like a guitar or play like a guitar. Nobody was going to confuse me with a...

Additionally - to f-path's:

Dont know where I heard it - concertina is/was/somewhere/'historically' regarded as a lass's instrument; it certainly is the more 'demure' of the free-reeds - although...

While I'd like to see more women in all genres of music, there are a few genres like OldTime and Irish/Scottish trad where you might have a better chance of meeting female musicians.

I was at a...

It's still the societal norm that the men get to play and the women tend to the home and the kids. Not being political or anything else, and not saying that the men don't work too, but if we're being...

Too often I am the only representative of my gender at the jam (OT, BG). I have asked the women who sometimes come why they don't come more often. Their reasons involve other obligations: relatives...

Offer jam host to buy pizza for a photo session...invite local Getty/IStock photog to shoot and bring model releases. You get content, jammers get pizza and maybe a portrait, photog gets access,...

I don't know, but it's happened to us many times. Usually alcohol is the culprit. One time a guy came up to our guitar player and said, "let me play, I'm better than you are!" Gtr player said, "get...
