That was fun. Thanks
I share your despair and I'm not really a newbie, just not a fast player. The discipline to work on the mechanics of picking, the 'zen' of relaxing and the confidence of performing are three...
I'm sorry, I can't help myself. And I do notice your turnover:)
Used, A style. Check the classifieds on this site. But radiused fretboard and wide nut may be hard to find at that price point. Eastman or Kentucky are the brands in that price range, although I...
I’ve only played 1 Loar, and it had a very lovely sound. Of affordable instruments, there’s a Duff and a Sullivan I lust for, although neither are for sale. I’ve played several very nice mandolins...
Very cool. thanks
You've got all your ducks in a row, a great surgeon, so you just need to figure out the scheduling. At this age, if not now, when?
I wish you all the best.
The National Museum of African American Music is a must see in my opinion. On Broadway across from the Roman. More music, less clothes than the Country Music HOF.
I’d also make 3rd and Lindley...
My guitar playing wife had this surgery on her right thumb in 2021. Prior to that she had extreme pain in her pick holding thumb after 15 minutes and had had steroid injections every 3 months for...
Some things don't respond to direct force. Sneaking up sometimes is a more effective strategy, ie, moderating the slope to the hill.

Use the ‘Search’ function to see the many discussions of this topic. It will reduce any flaming.
Most folks buy instruments for the sound they produce, not the construction details.
Sounds like bluegrass guitar players. G, C or capo.
My take is people become familiar with the keys that are frequently used in the genre(s) they play. Most folksmusic is not done in flat keys, as horns were typically not used. Swing and jazz...
I have no use for one of these, but I really want one..........
It looks like he's playing with a thumb pick. Is that correct, and is that typical of the period?
Or swat the mosquitoes:)
They think they're selling themselves rather than the instrument.
Back when dirt was new, my classical guitar teacher illustrated the resonance of instruments by playing the open strings in...
NB are still on the D’Addario website, in 2 gauges. And a pile here at Wintergrass at the D’Addario table. Just not the 11.5-40 set.
It’s not uncommon to have to give yourself a ‘demotion’ to fix some fairly fundamental issues. Patience is really the key here, especially if the changes contain physical changes, ie, more...
I remember those days with a bit of sadness. Now its a 2 drink maximum.
Depends. Is it a Rogue or a Gilchrist?
I wouldn't want the Mando to sleep any colder than me. Will it get lonely and perhaps go with a passing stranger? I've heard they sometimes do that.
