This is the best thing on the interwebs right now. Thank you, Jake!
My vocal coach recommended to me the PanoTuner app, which is free. It essentially is just like a regular tuner that picks up sound. With it, I can practice hitting certain notes vocally as well as...
I've always taken the "if you can't sing it, you cant play it" as a comment directed at being able to identify the melody, not the tone. For instance, if you can hum the melody of a tune then you...
From looking around it appears to be a turn of the century Washburn. It also appears to be in fantastic shape too. Put some new light gauge strings on it and you will have a fine instrument. Here is...
How cool! Thank you and I'll look forward to these. :)
We'll be pick'n at River St Joe Brewery in Buchanan Mi this Sunday at 2:30pm Great group at an awesome location. If you're anywhere near sw Michigan stop by!
I think these threads are always really interesting. Definitely gives an insight of the "flavor" of the jams of other folks. We do a monthly jam at a local brewery in SW Michigan...
Hi gang. The bluegrass outfit I'm in secured a gig for a holiday event. While they said we don't have to have holiday tunes, we wanted to add some tasteful numbers to our set list. What are some of...
Thank you, gentlemen. That is very helpful.
Just in case you need help with the definition of assumption: "a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof."
I always get a kick out of folks that say things like...
Hi All. I scooped up this old taterbug and want to bring it back to life. I have rebuilt a few cheap mandolins to learn and thought this would be a fun one to try. I'm making an assumption that it is...
Thank you all for the help. It is much appreciated. I double checked and there aren't any labels inside unfortunately. Any ideas on a source for an accurate bridge? Also, you can see in the first pic...
To add, there are no labels or inscriptions.
Hello. I have been picking up random mandolins for a bit to practice repairs and whatnot. I recently found the bowlback below and before I got started on it I was hoping one of you could give me some...

My goodness! Thank you so much for the help.
Howdy folks. Anyone familiar with this old tune? Jimmy Martin used to play it in C, but I've been fooling around with it in the key of A like Garcia/Grisman and Greensky do it. Anyone know the intro...
I really like your site and how you put tunes together. Thanks for doing it.
Howdy folks. We host a bluegrass & old time acoustical jam at River St Joe Brewery in Buchanan, MI the first Sunday of every month. In the cold months, they set up an awesome greenhouse for us so we...
Some of the things I would suggest is to try to be a percussive element to the jam by focusing on chop chords on the off beat. If you simply strum like a guitar you wont be happy with the result....
I have never been a fan of this fellas videos. No disrespect and I am sure they are fun for beginning mandolinist, but playing open chords along the guitars is a rough way of playing with others. His...
