They've done great with the "Roots" collection. I bought an inexpensive guitar from that series that sounds good and is really fun to play. I'll have to checkout the mandolins. Thanks!

Todd - it sounds like you're really going to play and enjoy this beauty. That makes me happy! :whistling:
The Sunset Limited - The colors of the spruce top evoke the lands connected by this revered train line. This mandolin is a journey linking wood and soul...
Congrats to Todd and thanks for the great contest!
Very cool. I picked up mandolin almost a year ago after playing guitar for ages. I'm really enjoying it and I hope you do as well. Beautiful instrument.
Sometimes dad would talk-sing "Hey, Good Lookin'" or "Goodnight Irene." Good memories...
Clark - sounds like something I'd do. Good luck!
I've heard about them, but would love to try one. :)
No one wants to think they've wildly overpaid for something. It's frustrating. I can't help but look at prices sometimes, but I never obssess - who knows what shape that other instrument is really...
Learning to read music feels a lot like work to me, like math did in fourth grade. It's not fun for me, I don't like it, and I've never learned. That being said, I've remained a very elementary...
I love having instruments around the house. Some are played every day, some go months untouched. They're in my house, though, beautiful, wooden, built by a real person. They come out at parties or...
Excellent score!
I read and cook and hang out with friends. I play guitar in a band that performs about once a month. Work takes the most time, but I'm going to set that aside in a few months. :whistling:
I believe the difficulty you are describing is that looking at TAB doesn't allow you to play a melody you are not familiar with. If That's the case, many of these tunes may be heard, on mandolin, on...
Just curious if anyone has seen this: "Folk Songs For Mandolin: Sing, Strum and Pick Along," by Bobby Westfall. It's relatively new. Sounds like it would have lyrics and chords, but I'm wondering if...
Whether the teaching is "proper" or not depends a lot on what you want. I took one lesson and realized it was a terrible mistake. I want to pick a couple tunes, learn some tips and tricks and...
Enjoyed having a look - appears to have been a fine day!
Are you strumming and singing or playing instrumentals?
If we can agree that there is such a thing as "good," as in "good music," it becomes very easy to distinguish between the category of "good" and the category of "popular." They can overlap, and...
Tune trapped in marble
Awaiting its sweet release
Chip away false notes
There's a nice tune by this name on the Boys Of The Lough cd Good Friends - Good Music. I started looking for the TAB and found that there a a couple of other tunes with the same name, perhaps better...
Welcome from another relative newbie. Hanging around here has really accelerated my mandolin education. :mandosmiley:
Well, it's a beauty, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing and enjoy!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the reminder. I look forward to reading it...
