    Critical Role theme song on mandolin!

    Hey all,

    Not sure if there's any D&D nerds out there, or specifically fans of Critical Role, but I am both of those things. I took it upon myself to arrange the theme song on mandolin....

    Re: Cool video of a Loar.

    Z,

    That shot at 2:18 has to be some B-roll of another instrument. I know John and have played his Loar a few times, he definitely doesn't have different gauges on those courses! A couple obvious...

    Re: Tone Gard - Comfortable ?

    I've been playing with one for years. To me, it's just an extension of the instrument. I don't really notice that it's there! Like has been said already, get one and if you don't like it, you'll...

    Re: Sierra Hull’s E-Tune

    This lady is just too damn smooth. What gets me every time is just how small those hands look compared to her axe! She is an absolute legend and definitely sits among the best players in the world in...

    Re: Sierra Hull on Steven Colbert

    I'm a big Sturgill fan regardless of this new album, but I love the new album. Sierra Hull is exquisite in everything she does and this album is no exception!

    Definitely sounds like Jamgrass 741 at the start...I know what I'm learning today! He sure makes that thing sing!
  15. Re: Ricky & Marty Play Bill's Mandolin on "Big Night"

    That photo is truly something special. From the instruments to the room to the painting, it's all perfect! I got to pick some Monroe tunes in the rotunda a few years back, it was a such a wild...
  16. Re: Where to hold right wrist/arm when playing tremolo?

    I personally plant my pinky finger on the top of my mandolin, and use a stiff wrist. I use forearm movement anchored at the pinky for my tremolo. It's going to be a personal preference thing, as you...
  17. Re: Ricky & Marty Play Bill's Mandolin on "Big Night"

    I've gotta say my highlight was Carlene and Marty at the end too. Will The Circle Be Unbroken has been the closing song of so many bluegrass festivals and events in my life - hearing those two play...

    Re: Tortoise shell pick alternative

    I second ChrisMelodee, they aren't cheap but BlueChip does it for me. I've used only one pick for the last 7 years and that's a BC.

    Keith, I feel your concern! I got this mandolin 12 years ago I think and it didn't have any mark there when I got it. I've played the hell out of this thing and I'm definitely doing a number on the...

    Re: Builder or Company

    My suggestion would be to watch classifieds for a used luthier-made axe. While some factory made mandos are certainly high quality, if you ask me, there's just no replacing a solid handmade...
