I would love to hear this as well. Aren't these artists taper friendly?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the "real book"?

"Anyone hear VSOP, the
quintet that Herbie Hancock put together in honor fo Miles Davis, but with
Wynton Marsalis on trumpet? I bought one of their records many years
ago and put in on the...

Thanks for all your input. I opted to purchase the pentatonic book for now and will most likely get the up the neck book in the future. I also ordered a copy of Niles chord book, and purchased them...

I don't suppose there is any hope that they will make a linux version? Seems I am missing out on some good stuff here. *sigh*

Thanks all for some interesting tips and pointers. Lots of info just following some of the suggested links.

I can't help with the MySpace question, as I loath the site and never use it. I would however reccomend: http://www.acousticfriends.com Similar to MySpace but stricty for acoustic musicians.

This is such fantastic stuff. I am enjoying reading every post. As for me, I had highly eclectic musical tastes, and listened to most of the bands that have been mentioned here, back in the day. I...

I've heard nothing but good things about Niles pedagogy skills. I've narrowed down my choices of his books to these two, and can't decide which would be more beneficial to me.

I would rate myself...

"It's was a shame about John Herald. I did some gigs with him a long time ago..nice guy."

I guess I'm out of the loop. What happened to Herald? I met him a few times at festivals 30 years ago, and...

Wow! That's fantastic! Kudos on a great project. I'm with you regarding the funky look of the old wood. Looks beautiful.

Interesting. I have at least 3 live recordings where it is called "Ralph's Banjo Special", one is with Grisman, the others are with Sammy in various groupings. I can't use Mandozine, as I use Linux...

Where's the younger generation? Just curious. It seems to me that most of us mando fans are old #####. Prove me wrong please. I'm 54.

I am afraid that I have to update my original list again as I have been listening to Jimmy Gaudreau a lot lately, and he just blows me away! Clean simple picking. I wish I could do that.

russell

That's a really hard one to answer. I of course like many have stated, heard TV theme music ala The Beverly Hillbillies. I was a huge music fan in my youth and in particular a Buffalo Springfield,...
