me please

if I may resurrect this one...had the 2nd gig at the local coffee shop, and it went well. a couple improvements: the wife got her own mic (and sang on many more songs), got a friend with a bass...

that looks cool...you may also want to check this out: http://www.chordwheel.com/

it helped me understand such things much more clearly

very nice!

I like the "dream fulfillment center" line on the box too :-)

if you're primarily wanting an affordable acoustic/electric, that one is probably just fine to start with. but if you're not going to be plugging it in, you're probably better off with a solid-wood...

mmmmmmm, 2 point. very nice.

sure, swapping makes it all the more fun.

before I started playing mandolin, I and my jew's harp were shoved up on stage at the Mountain Opry here on Signal Mtn. it was a bit of a goofy lark, but...

I'm not sure what you can do about the trebles, since a plain steel string is a plain steel string (right?), but have you tried FlatTops (FT74)...

to answer your question (sorry guys, you gotta at least answer the question before you veer off in another direction): yes, the stock strings are probably junk. I'd get J74s:...

FYI, Sara Watkins has 6 preview tracks on her website for listening. if you poke around enough (view source, etc) you can download em too. pretty good stuff.

cool stuff. aint songwriting fun?

I'd put some thought into the last 2 lines of the chorus. to me it falls flat a bit, and that's the part of most songs that will probably be remembered most,...

cool stuff! it reminds me a bit of Compton's "Stomp" album (which I just got). I'd say you dont need to be nervous (I know...yeah right), b/c you're sounding good. I'm not brave enough to do just...

hehe, that's a pretty good one.

I'd love it if someone could measure the length of the strings and where the silk starts, just to be sure. Ted?

thanks! a great idea, and well done. I've never been a big fan of the original tune, so pairing it with that one makes it stand out. rather haunting (in a good way).

thanks! any chance of posting it here? mywork blocks myspace

can anyone tell me if these will fit on a TC OM (20 3/8" scale)? I've got FT76s on right now and I'm liking that, but I like the JazzMandos even better on my "little" mandolin, so I'm hoping for that...

very nice!

here's one of my "simple songs"...

as one who not-so-proudly painted the student apartments on the UNC campus during the summers, and who is quite proud to be the son of the receptionist at the Chapel Hill Bible Church and the son of...

if it's an A style, you can get a decent one cheaply here: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Musicians-Gear-Hardshell-AStyle-Mandolin-Case?sku=544411

that's what I thought :-) but that would be about 4th in line right now (after better mando, better octave, and a 'cello)

whenever I'm tempted by a dola, I get down the octave and put a capo on 5. suits me, for now at least. would a "real" dola be substantially different?

my boss would notice if I played the mandolin while I wait for the code to compile...

sweet! you're stoking my latent 2PAS. must. resist.
