Fantastic RPM - way to go. We need to hear much much more from the great Dawg. Thanks a bunch!
Can't really tell from the pictures. This will get you close . . . at the 12th fret, use a penny on the G and a dime on the E . . . adjust height so that they slide between just touching. The height...
Beautiful rendition Colin. You play it wonderfully and your Gibson A4 sounds so sweet. And much thanks for the sheet music.
I certainly love everything Dawg. However this mix, IMHO, doesn't mesh all that well.
Pretty sure David was playing the real deal . . . a Monteleone.
I think the main issue is the humidity where you generally play. High H and poly don't mix, but little effect with a SN. I have both so very familiar. When the AC is on, or rarely the heat, there...
I'm sure that OP developed the shorthand system primarily so he wouldn't forget things that he spent a lot of time doing (800+!) and for his own personal use. Elegant in its simplicity and...
Been wiping down strings with WD-40 for 20+ years. Not every time I play, but a couple times a week - taking care not to get it on the finish. Fingers glide smoothly and easily, and I'd guess it...

Tunes you can hum, songs you must sing?
Certain songs seem to lend themselves to the mandolin. I'll often hear a song and think that to myself. A couple that I've had fun with is Mr. Chow by Acoustic Alchemy and Jessica by the Allman...
I've got a great contender . . . straight from our ranks and Frank's Kitchen

Very cool Tommy, though I doubt "cool" is used much in Metaldom. Thanks for pushing the mando envelope. I see your 6 string axes in the vids - question, how does playing metal on the mando differ...
MikeE, not sure which tread you're referring to regarding sinkage. Anyway, those wavy lines from the string reflections do appear to be bending down under the foot of the bridge - so is it just an...
A couple observations from my untrained and limited experienced eyes. Would be interested in hearing the thoughts of others. 1) the angle of the screw threads look way off compared to the flat of...
Since it's new to you, I might consider something for the light ones and a super clean / polish buff might be in order. If there's something larger, I'd let it be as a beauty mark. The only exception...
I'm not so much focused on tab or standard, but since we live in the age of software / apps, was wondering what might be out there that would accomplish the task. I know of TablEdit, but not familiar...
Nice set of songs and enjoying taking a stab at a few. Is there software that will take sheet music like this and produce a midi file or similar. Would be nice to hear a song as it's written and...
Ugggg . . . looks like some kind of AI design
Under "Music by Genre", there's this subgroup, maybe it's close to what you're looking for?

I know just what you mean Olaf, and you express it well. I can see a little different Tommy when he's playing with the Dawg, a little more subdued perhaps, more selective about the notes maybe? The...
Tommy and David played a good number of shows promoting the CD. I was lucky enough to see them at the Charleston Music Hall, a wonderful venue. Just an incredible show. This video was taken by...

Happened to come across this great YouTube channel by Tom Proctor. Lots of old concerts by some great pickers all with wonderful sound quality. Thanks Tom!
