Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I really appreciate that you took the time to listen.
This has been a useful exercise for me, as I have never record myself before. I only did one take,...
You're right about Tennessee Waltz, but that wasn't supposed to be Wish You Were Here at the start. Good guess. :)

My first video upload here. Please let me know how it sounds and what I need to work on to get better. Thanks!
BONUS: Four Internet points to anyone...
If I understand the look you are looking for, doesn't the Weber Red Rocks fit the bill? The fact that it's deeper than a traditional f-style is interesting, I'd like to try one.
ETA: the one I...
Any examples of the type of unique rhythm playing you are referring to?
I'm not that familiar with Sierra, but i really enjoyed a few things I've heard. I'm considering signing up for the...
I'm still a bit new to this music. I really enjoyed picking out Jessamyn's Reel by Chris Thile, and now I discovered Amanda's Reel by Kenny Smith which I really enjoy.
So far, Amanda's reel is a...
Great performance all around.
I'm looking for good books of Mandolin Transcriptions. Just about any style, but good quality transcriptions.
I currently have Tone Poems by David Grisman, but am looking to branch out a bit.

Listening now and liking it more than expected. Nice intimate sound with just mandolin and vocals. I'm listening on shuffle and really enjoyed the Sonata so far, and just the overall sound of the...
I'm getting more interested in that Nashville trip. I know Carter Vintage is there, and Mr. Gruhn has a shop there. Any other places/areas I should check out?
I also need to research a bit of what...
Depends where you're driving, but if it's two long days, I'm assuming you'll be passing through some rural terrain. I really enjoy Bill Frisell's album "Nashville" for trips like this. It does...
I love Schoenberg Guitars, but I called them and their voicemail said they're not yet reopened post-covid. I figured I could make an appointment if I was interested in a specific instrument, but...
OP here.
I really, really liked the Collings I played at the local dealer (Gryphon Stringed Instruments). But - they always have five or six new Collings in stock, as well as some Kentuckys and...
Make that nine years. I just noticed my registration date. :grin:
Hello all,
My local shop has a pretty large selections of mandolins, mostly new. I currently only have one mandolin, a $300 Savannah SA-120. It stays in tune, and has served me well for learning,...
Hello all,
I'm primarily a guitar player who has been picking up mandolin for the past five years or so. I enjoy bluegrass and other styles, and have mostly been playing Grisman waltzes and...
I've never played many top end mandolins, except a high end Collings at Gryphon music, and a Hutto at Pleasant Valley music, and a few of the better Eastmans.
I'll be traveling around the US a lot...
I just saw Thile last night in Davis, CA.
Would love to see Mike Marshall, especially with Choro Famoso!
I'm pretty new to the mandolin in general, and especially the classical repertoire for the instrument. I've been dabbling with the first Bach partita and am about a third through it.
The Bach is...
I mute and use pick control. Normally when chopping, I'll voice the full chord, but only hit the bottom two notes. When I hold my hand down in the chop position and then arpeggiate the chord, the GDA...
Glad you like it. No, I did not build it myself, it is from a father/son builder that live in Washington State:

Here is mine, sort of a non-traditional resonator mandolin.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!
Hello all,
I've played a few Bach pieces on guitar and piano before, and am somewhat new to the mandolin. On the other instruments, I've used Bach passages as exercises to improve my technique on...
