Looks great so far. You'll have to make a distressed armrest to match :)

That's a nice find. Enjoy!

I am a 15 year drummer but that doesn't count for much ;)
I started learning mandolin last year and it's everything i dreamed! But then I found myself buying other things. I bought a guitar a few...

i "suffered" thru your beautiful tune. it sounds awesome. and is easy on the eyes of course. nice choice!

I'd have to say I like the first pick better. Keep it up! Sounds great.

I wonder which will be worth more in 10 years. The property he traded or the Loar? ��

I agree. I started a trucking company with my brother this last year and have been really busy. And barely home every few weeks for a day or 2. There is a local jam that meets on Thursdays at home...

I'd have to say around 8. For practice each day I tend to cycle thru the tunes I know a few times each day. Then either work on one I want to play better, or learn a new one. I'm also starting to try...

This is by far the most informative and friendly. What is it about mandolins? :whistling:

Thanks Jim. I see what you're talking about after looking at it. I'll be sure to relearn that phrase properly.

Thanks for the tip Phil. I have spent very little time practicing rhythm (open chords and chop) since starting. I'm sure I'd have picked it up quicker if I spent time playing with others. So just...

Star of the County Down! Still enjoy playing it.

Wow that's a really neat piece. Do you have any videos yet? I'd like to hear what it sounds like.

Regardless of what kind of music you'll want to play, I highly recommend starting with the beginner series at mandolessons.com

Have fun!

Thank you everyone for taking the time to give me your insights!
Especially you Baron since almost all of my progress has been from learning from your videos. From your expert playing, clear...

I have been practicing as much as I can for about a year using online lessons, etc.
I do not personally know anyone who plays mandolin, and am hoping for some feedback.
ALL criticism welcome! I am...

I played drums growing up and always felt I wanted to play something more melodic. I listened to Nickel Creek in high school and knew I wanted to play mandolin after seeing Chris Thile live in...

I didn't see a thread here with Mr Oliver's arm rests as the topic so here's my experience:

I heard about his armrests here on the forum so I checked out his webpage and proceeded to email him. He...

I quickly ran through most of their mandos 2 weeks ago and I agree with your stand-outs. There was also a collings MT2 that spoke to me as well as that big mean mandocello they had. I think the name...

Same here!
I subscribed to several different courses online, but I have spent most of my time on Mandolessons.com
It is easy to follow him and he has built a large library of tunes to learn. The...

Jefflester,
I know the folks at Breedlove keep a good record and have catalogued information on each of the models they've put out over the years. They were very helpful when I called them for...

Beautiful! Love it.

I am a musician who has always wanted to play mandolin. I finally...

That sounds like a great experience. I'll have to try to stop there sometime when I'm in the area.
