Anyway I can somehow get a copy of this show from anyone on the Cafe? Doesn't seem to be any other possible way to obtain it!

I've had the privilege to have studied w/ John for the last 2 years at Berklee. We all knew that John was going through health issues for the last couple of weeks, but no one could have imagined...

I love all of this guy's videos! As cheesy as the accompaniment can be, he really gets after it and picks!

I bought this from an instrument builder in Hanoi, and am very pleasantly surprised with how it sounds and plays. There were quite a few instrument shops around the...

I'll just leave this here...

For those of you who miss his Dude. Also has some interesting comments on how he approaches soloing on Temperance...

I just found this video of Chris Thile while searching for Temperance Reel. It's pretty interesting he talks about how he solos over fiddle tunes and about playing Bach.

Beautiful tune and playing. I love the droning C-string. Are you running any effects on this?

Jim, it's hard to express how valuable these recordings are and what a huge service you've done for the mandolin community by sharing them like you have. I've had these for a couple of years now and...

Sounds great! Who's playing banjo?

I think that to really get inside of technique, you do have to devote that time of isolated practice. Not only can you focus all of your concentration on that particular technique, it also allows...

Victor Wooten talks about this exact issue in his book The Music Lesson. In the chapter on Technique, he describes 2 kinds of practicing: "practicing with concentrating" and "practicing without...

The other thing to think about is voice leading. Are your chords voiced in a way that they efficiently 'lead into' each other? How many notes are you changing to switch from one chord to the next? ...

Thanks for the kind words John, but I think you flatter me with that comparison. Just my humble attempts at learning some cool Jethro licks...And yes, it is indeed a Collings.

Wow. That thing is freakin' sweet. Apparently those are actual diamonds in the headstock! Here's what Gruhn says about it:

"1978, VG++, maple body with carved top, refretted by Gruhn Guitars, 2...

Tom,
I've never gotten a chance to check out the Jethro book, and I'm not sure if this particular exercise is in it. I learned this by listening to the Jim Nikora Lessons w/ Jethro discs.

Of...

Today is a snow day for me, so I thought I'd share one of the Jethro Exercises that I thought was especially cool. This is the 2nd track on the 1st disc, titled "Chords Riffs"

...

In case you haven't found this already, here is the motherload of all things Jethro. four discs of scales, chord exercises, and great solo Jethro arrangements of tunes.

Looks cool! Bet it rips pretty good through that Marshall!

Just found this gem on Youtube. also with Jason Roberts on electric mandolin. It's Johnny's great e-mando tune Mandolopin'

Enjoy!

whooooo!!! That was great!

Recorded with Oberon's Parabola and hosted on our drummer's site. I'm playing a Ron Oates 5-String into a modded Fender Super Reverb. Let me know what you think!...

It's hard to narrow it down to just 2 or 3 albums with John Hartford, because his career covered so much stylistic ground. Here are some of my favorites from what I recognize are his different...

I've been hearing the name Andy Statman for awhile now, and this interview finally sparked me to go out and get some of his music. I just downloaded East Flatbush Blues and Flatbush Waltz off of...

Anyone seen or know anything about these wild mandolins? They look like something out of Willy Wonka...5886458865
