When I was young (9-10) I took some guitar lessons, but had alot of trouble tuning it and my hands weren't really big enoough. It was really an awful experience, and I gave up on music. When I was a...

I've been pretty impressed with Poe's work.

Thanks,

I spent most of today "playing" http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif by ear. Now I remember why I need to practice so much!!!

It was alot of fun, but I...

So when ya practice with a metronome (I have one, but have not practiced with it), is it the chop on the "back beat" when laying rythym, just like it;s done in BG settings?? I assume so.

What...

I'll agree that alot of todays country music may not be as country as it once was. To me thats a non issue though. Music is music. If I like it... I like it, if I don't... I don't. A rose by any...

I spent a little time with "The Mandolin of Bill Monroe" this weekend.

Wow!!!

That bit where he did the whole song, never lifting his finger from the A!!! Freagin incredible!!!

And pullin...

They have mellowed out qute a bit. I'm starting to get that "thunk", as oppsed to a "twang". Will be happier when it get's back to "thunG".

OK, so new strings take a while to break in. Never...

So I bought an inexpensive F5, off the classifieds, and just got it back from it's needed fret dressing and bridge shaping.

When I first got it, from the previous owner, it came with Gibson monnel...

I saw that Belvedier, as I am in Tulsa where it all took place. Funny thing, everyone I talked to about it, before they opened the vault, knew it was gonna be ruined!! There were a few things in the...

I recently purchased a mando off of the clasifieds here. It wasn't to expensive, and it's sound quality is a definite improvement over my first one. I am very happy with the purchase.

The set up...

It's a good thing I am at work and getting payed while I read this,.......

Otherwise it would have been an utter and complete waste of my time....

You just took one day off for that?http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Dude, that's worth taken a week off for!!! MINIMUM!!!!!

Freagin a sweet!!!!

Congrats!!!

Could ya post some more pics of Brutus?? Please.

I am not in a position to purchase this, so I guess I am a wanna be consumer, but would love to see some more details.

If I am outa line, for...

That cat looks pretty cool. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blues.gif

What style of music does he play?? Does he have Cds in print?? What do yall recommend to get a good...

I don't own one, but my instructor does and he plays it regularly. He passes it over to me occassionally#and I pick it up about every chance I get....

Ol Plant must be depressed. Why else would he sing with Allison??

Now I am fairly new to BG, but still....

I went out and bought three AK cdz a few months ago. Every song on every cd was sad...

Yes, it was a case of brain flatulance that caused me to type fretting the E&G on the third instead of the fourth.

I will experiment with these other voicings.

My biggest concern, with this...

I've been having trouble with "E". Maybe ya'll can help.
I'm not sure how to draw it with this computer, but it's baring the A&D strings on the second fret, while the G&E strings are fretted on the...

I've yet to play an "F" with a round hole, although my daily player is an "A" oval hole.

I bet it sounds great!!

How 'bout a sound clip??

I haven't had the opportunity to A/B them. This mandolin has fantastic bass response; if I could describe its tone in a couple words, they would be in the line of "thick" and "buttery".[/QUOTE]
So,...

Paying bills with a mando?? NO Problem....

just practice at work!!! The only good thing about this swing shift, ya know. Lotsa spare time in the wee hours, workin on that chop or tremolo, without...

It's the lighting, right??

The top fret marker, on the 12th fret, appears to be square.

Maybe my eyes are going bad??

I'll make sure you leave my house with a picture, so you can remember exactly what yours and mine look like together!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Sorry!!

Sometimes people just make it to easy.
