My wife thinks I'm silly for saying please and thank you to Alexa and Siri, but when the time comes, they will remember...
If it were me... I would also include a thank you for letting you sit in with the team - you thought it went really well, did he have a chance to hear you play, his impressions, etc? I would also...
The biggest challenge for me with bringing other musicians into a praise team, or any ensemble for that matter, is the lack of ability for improvising. I can immediately think of a sax, accordion,...
It sounds like your instrument is being stereotyped. I started playing a lot of BG and gospel both in church and at jams, and lately have been on a quest to find other genres (folk, Americana,...
Uh Oh. Mandolins and Chaos Theory. This could be a long thread....
Late to the party... These work and cost a lot less but I'm not sold on the sound - they are a bit too metallic. I have a few sets on order from Emando.com, so I'm curious to see how they work...
'really going off the reservation here, but my son plays guitar. His electric rig has is an older Line 6 modeling pedal where you can digitally choose any number of effects and amps down to the...
I'm a big fan of Andrew's playing style, but it seems unique to Watchhouse music. When he is doing Mighty Poplar (which should have won the Grammy!), he plays more like a BG shredder.
Also with the HOF2, I've started using an LR Baggs Align chorus on slower songs for a very full lush effect. Both pedals are very clean and transparent.
Hall of Fame 2, set to Room. Just enough to fill in the sound a little bit, and a little more with some slapback for certain songs when using the octave.
If you're not already familiar with Ultimate Guitar, the site provides the chord progressions for most contemporary songs. According to the site, you've got it right, and you can transpose. Thanks...
I could only imagine that there are all kinds of roadblocks to purchasing from the factory - security, tariffs, exclusive rights, etc...; but you will never know and there is no cost in asking. I...
He lives about 20 miles from me; I've been tempted to check out his work. From his YouTube channel they sound fine. I'd just be careful with the scale length and neck width.
I have a Pono, which was the precursor to the Octolindo. You can use it like a guitar and it's great for accompanying vocals, but sonically it creates a much throatier fuller sound, somewhat lower...
All the videos of Bela that I've watched, and even seeing him live, I didn't know he could talk. Good stuff.
I've owned an 815v and now own a Northfield. The Eastman was a good instrument - loud with a strong bark and a sweet spot in the mid range. More sustain than expected for an f-model. The...
I also believe that it is easy to get hung up on digital modeling and think that my KM150 can now sound like a Loar. But it doesn't account for the nuances of playability and resonance that make a...
A Tonedexter already matches impedance, so there would be no need to chain it with a RedEye. Newer RedEyes, btw, will handle magnetic as well as piezo pickups.
I've wondered the same about...
I'm not sure it makes sense to use a Tonedexter in this case. The TD is intended to record the mandolin's sound through a mic and recreate that sound when playing direct through an amplified system....
It's been on my bucket list for years to visit Israel and we actually had the trip scheduled for the end of November. Obviously that didn't happen...but it will eventually, so keep the light on for...
My understanding is that a DI box will correct output impedance, but not necessarily input impedance, which is where the 1M figure comes in to play for a typical piezo wafer. Failure to match the...
The other thing to keep in mind, if it matters, is that Red Eye gear is more road worthy: heavier cases, pots, switches. Also, the newer ones have a 9v input in addition to battery and phantom...
I bought myself a James tailpiece from the Northfield Black Friday sale. It arrived yesterday and it was a quick install. Changing strings is now much easier, and it looks sharp!
Yup. Several threads converging, but I just ordered a James tailpiece at 20% off for my Northfield while wearing a hat.
