And another one is to make sure that when you practice these tunes you begin at lots of different parts.
You can record the tune yourself at slow tempo and let it loop, then practice playing nothing...

Happy day! :)
abcnotation.com is back online.
Yes, I was looking for something like that on YouTube.
For example, ten or twenty nice Old Time tunes for guitar, but in a melodic, mandolin-playing style. And ‘nice’ as Baron has, rather than most...
Yes and also be aware that the finger flows at speed can be very different from slow playing.
At speed you're pushing rather than swinging the pick, while fret fingers spread out and are simply...
abcnotation has been down for at least a week, and now there seems to be a problem with the search engine for tunearch.org
Does anyone else have these issues?
Does it matter that we may lose...
I have a flying pinkie that I'd like to tame,
I thought of a contraption like a cover that sits 2 inches over the fretboard so the fingers can't actually go higher.
Thanks Scott, Mike, Ted and all the moderators! :)
Spring is here!! :mandosmiley::mandosmiley::mandosmiley::mandosmiley: :)
Get your mando a good set-up.
A $3000 mandolin with a bad set-up is a monster! :)
A cheap mandolin with a good set-up will be a friend to you.
There’s a great free book on DIY set-ups by Rob...
I miss all of my ex-girlfriends a lot more than any classified guitar section.
And with warm and tender thoughts about girlfriends I just checked thesession.org for tunes with ‘girlfriend’ in them...
It's official. Happy Springtime guys! :grin::mandosmiley:
Here's a little old winter tune, soon just a memory:

Let's hear your Spring tunes!
I haven’t been able to access abcnotation for maybe a week now.
Similar situation as before, the browser Safari, has a fine loading line at the top of the page and gets through about a quarter and...
Are you joking?!
Here are just a few of the animals you may encounter if you go outside! :(

Lovely! And just by chance, I'm looking for a mandolin. :)
I did several months at Peghead Nation and I agree, excellent.
My wish would be a course(s) on Odd OldTime, Balkans, North African , Middle East and Eastern Europe tunes talking about the wealth of...
I sometimes get sleepy when I play too slowly.

The Vega Mandolin:

There is also the pulse effect where the less experienced fiddlers feel that the beat is slightly in front of them, so they speed up - to catch up.
So the others speed up etc.

Although I’m not religious (at all), this sounds pretty cool.
They appear to be proactive and even share pdfs and mp3 files, presumably in order to practice before...
I think when they say relaxing they mean efficiency of movement.
In a sense it’s trying to be as lazy as you can, while still playing every note as cleanly as possible.
It’s what happens when you...
I really like his time signature changes.
I've been playing a bit of 7/8 time recently (half a reel, half a jig) and it's such a liberating thrill to jump from one rhythm to another and then back...

How about learning a nice Cape Breton tune off by heart, and that’s your go-to tune?
Sarah’s Mandolin:

Thanks for posting the Joe Mendel vid Chuck, those are some nice chords on that octave, I really need to practice arpeggios in this style.
Ah improvisation. Well most people who learn a tune ‘just like that’, third time through are improvising.
First time through is picking up the key or mode, total number of measures, the first note -...
Here you go, this is in C major though it’s not exactly right, good luck!

Welcome!
One bit of helpful advice: when in Ireland don't ever call a tune a song, unless it is.
Have fun! :)
