I'm a guitar player, mandolin, keyboards, ...multi-instrumentalist...
I still have my 1977 "lawsuit era" Ibanez A-body mandolin that I still love to play. I was messing around in my pick box, and...
This is a work in progress, with me playing all the instruments, and roughing everything out on a Tascam multitrack recorder (8 track DP-03SD). I have tried using DAW's and get confused with the...
Here's an idea I am working on. I called the tune "Brighter Days" and it's in the key of D.
I came up with a simple Mandolin alternate picking arpeggio for an intro, and then trying to figure out...
Same here... I have dozens and dozens of picks for various string instruments. My 12 string acoustic has a certain pick. My rockin' Fender Stratocaster has a certain pick, etc...
For my old...
I heard about this on another forum. Sad to hear... Lemmy Kilmister was a monster of a heavy metal bass player. He just recently celebrated his 70th birthday too! :(
Merry Christmas everyone! :)
Like T.D. Nydin said in post #11, that's what I heard from my relatives back home in upstate NY. In fact northern NY (Adirondack Mts) have been so warm, the lakes...
Playing by ear more or less kind of hindered my ability to read a difficult piece of sheet music at first. It takes me a few minutes to get the right feel for the piece as I sight read it for the...
I guess you could label me one of those nutty multi-instrumentalist guys who can read, write, and improvise on the fly if needed.
As seen in my collection of instruments below, all the "school...
Wow... Thank you again! That '76 Ibanez from the catalog is EXACTLY like mine that I posted the picture of!
Really? I always assumed it was from the early or mid 80's. Thanks! :)
Speaking of Ibanez mandolins,
I own an early 80's Ibanez 511 mandolin (one the older original ones with the "Gibson Les Paul style lawsuit headstock"). If I remember right, I paid $100 bucks for...
Hopefully this comes through okay and you can play it.

Maybe you could use it for something or maybe find a mandolin lick that would go with...
I'm a guitar player and have been playing for close to 40 years. I took lessons with my older sister back in the day, and then I wanted to rock. So, rock I did... I soon got an electric and...
I recently tried out a Kentucky KM-250 at Guitar Center and really liked it. It had a beautiful tone and was setup with nice action too. What's amazing is that they also had a "The Loar" F5...
I play an Em with one finger on two courses of strings (D & A strings, 2nd fret). Sometimes it sounds okay, other times, I just fudge it. ;)

Beautiful! That's what I want to get one of these days. I want to pick up a nice F body mandolin and maybe trade in my old Ibanez A body mandolin (if it's worth anything...)
Strumming chords to warm up = Tequila Sunrise by the Eagles.
Picking to warm up = The solo section of Saint Anne's Reel.
Picking to warm up (faster) = Irish Washerwoman.
I bought this used from a music store sometime in the late 90's. It ain't the greatest out there, but it works well.

I have always admired the F body mandolins and one day, I hope to get one.
Boy, if that isn't the truth!
Here is a photo of my late grandmother's (which became my heirloom) antique violin, made in the 1890's.

Thanks, guys... :)
Jim, besides the paper of mandolin chords, there's a bunch of tab printouts underneath it in the case. If I had to pick one mandolin tune that I always play (i.e. strum the...
Greetings... I have visited Mandolin Cafe before (looking at sheet music and tabs) and decided to log on to the forum.
I am by no means a pro mandolin player, but truly enjoy playing my used mid...
