I use that to clean my paint brushes.
I've been retired for about 6 months now and haven't been bored for a moment. I practice sax for a couple hours each day, mandolin for a couple hours, bass for an hour or two. I've got a B3 and...
the planet waves (D'addario) capo is very small and no more bulky than an elastic type.
I don't want to assume what you know or don't know - so please don't take offense. This is very basic fretting but some people believe they should press the string down directly on top of the fret -...
I bought the same planet waves (mine came stamped as D'addario brand) that Steve linked to - it's great, very small and unobtrusive. However I'm finding that so far I never need a capo :) It comes...
I have been using the metronome as a tool forever and I've always used these methods and found them really helpful ... but this guy sums it up really nicely. This is a bass video but the methods...
I don't practice Bach specifically so I can't answer for the particular pieces you're asking about (I always thought Bach was supposed to be pretty locked like clockwork to the metronome though).

but ... but... but ... it says it's an M style with an A frame. It's gotta be awesome!
Is there such a thing as a Gibson M style mandolin? Google search only comes back around to show the same GC listing.

Thanks again! I've had the most fun time with this! Haven't got it smoothed out yet but really having fun bending the A strings :) learning those little bluesy riffs.
Thanks for posting this - one of my favorite tunes. I'm going to try and learn it from your video :)
I've got somewhat big hands and fat fingers and I just cannot get comfortable with a small or normal sized pick - I really like the triangles. I've tried several and the one I am just loving right...
I'm a multi-instrumentalist (just starting to learn mandolin) and most of my instruments were bought back in the 60's-70's from newspaper classified ads (or Big Nickle ads) and driving 50-200 miles...
I took a look at the sample lessons with Nathan East (I'm interested in bass lessons as well as mando) and his video response had a length apology for taking so long to respond due to being on tour. ...
I just take an ordinary Tortex pick and shape the tip myself. Takes about 1 minute to shape all three tips of a triangle pick.

Hi ... I am thinking of signing up for the Mike Marshall lessons at artistworks. The ability to upload videos and get a personalized video response is what makes it seem really worthwhile to me. ...
Back in the 50's-60's, growing up on a farm far from any city or music store, when I needed to capo my baritone uke I used a short pencil and rubber bands. Did the job just fine.
Question for those of you that like Thomastik. I have TI jazz flats on a bass and love them, they last forever which offsets the high cost. But on a mandolin, for me at least - with ordinary...
Yeah ... who would have thought I would have fond memories of the way it smelled before :)
When I was a kid (60's) we had a harmony (I think - maybe it was a Kay) archtop guitar and I glued the bridge to the top. I just got tired of it shifting around. But years later, whenever I thought...
I ordered a mando from Amazon last month at a "too good to be true price" they never sent me anything and cancelled the order. But I hope yours turns out better than mine.
Interesting to see the string motion.
Curious what is the double pick all about?
EDIT: nevermind - I googled Plectone -- still seems to me like it's damping the string with the second strike...
I was with a bunch of people out swimming in a lake - we're all out in the water and a little boy told his mom he had to pee .. she said "just pee in the lake" and he gave her a "seriously?" look and...
are you sure it's scooped in that photo? It looks to me like the frets are removed but not scooped.
Or there was tape there and when it was pulled off it took the color with it?
I've bought instruments from pawn shops (never a barber shop though) where the price was written on a piece of tape -...
