Is it possible to print out a colour graph of the sound levels over time?

It would be super-useful if it comes with a 6mm. jack, cable and the mandolin is acoustic/electric.
Then you can politely...

Here are some slight variations:

Welcome to MandolinCafe, for all things music and mandolin. :)
What sort of mandolin do you have?
(pics of your mandolin?)

Yes Bren, I remember a fiddle lesson where the teacher said don’t search for the note. You basically decide where your finger is going to come down for the note you already have in your head rather...

More English Hornpipes… :)

To me ‘noodling’ is being a bit half-hearted while playing.
It’s when you’ve smoked too much weed, drank a lot of alcohol, are mentally exhausted from work… or you just don’t like the tune that...

You can use the Paul Hardy cheat-sheet but I think the .abc file (audio) version is better ;) Improves hearing and recognition.

When I was living in California in the ‘90’s I had a friend who was designing something that sat under a guitar bridge and worked out notes with something to do with the resistance changes on each...

After learning a certain number of tunes, especially if learned by ear, people may find that they can go out to a session and ‘know’ every tune that they listen to once through.
Then when they pick...

I think we forget how much we have achieved.
If you can play ten tunes, one after the other without reading and more importantly, without noodling then… well, that’s an incredible achievement....

You’re very welcome. Aeee! It’s been a fun year. :))

Here are about 150 assorted Polish tunes, some very lovely, some ok. :)...

Great thing about a repetitive, foot-tapping OldTime jam is that you can dance, let your body do the thinking.

Hello Ladies and Gents here’s a spicy challenge!

It’s my birthday today (63) and I wanted to give you all a present.
Problem is that I don’t actually have the present that I wanted to share! :))...

-the humble piano accordion with wet tuning has a very wide range, and even chords, sevenths too, on the left side. You could try some canny improv at your local Irish Trad Session.
The trombone...

-Get an account and then try posting to SoundCloud.com first?
Then post your soundcloud link here.

-BandLab.com is another good one (Thanks Brian).

-Play screen-record while your audio file is...

Everyone’s different, and everyone’s welcome -as long as they adhere to whatever is the agreed general consensus… whatever that is (!)
One problem is that as soon as everyone’s comfortable then...

I really miss Tom Petty. :(
Those were the days!

In fact there’s a lot of Tom Petty music that could do with bit more mandolin.

4/64, about 1.7 mm or a tiny bit larger than a 5 euro cent coin for the G string on my octave mandolin.
Yup, I like it on the low side.

14 days X 24hours/day =336 hours.

336 hours is almost 3 hours a day for six months while taking a break at the weekend. That’s getting there. :))

My neighbour plays the banjo. One morning I saw him out on his front porch talking to his dog.
It was obvious that he thought the animal could understand him.

I walked back into the kitchen and...

Many reasons, but one main one is that you can easily get TAB (chords) for guitar and uke if you want to play twentieth century music.
Simplified, one page melody TAB with lyrics for mandolin? ...
