Here's my effort of an artsy shot of a gaggle of some of my favorites
I'd seen this thread back in December, but just recently came upon this nice piece from FBJ on Robin in 2011 -...
I didn't know Paul was from the Detroit area (before my time) and that he'd taught at Fava's - where I studied classical and jazz guitar in the 70s. Fava's was "The" place.
Ya it's where everything comes from - from shuffle to rock 'n roll - jelly roll said it's the basis of jazz. Afro-caribbean music is extremely prevasive in American forms. Definitely my favorite.
...
All the rage of samba and bossa in jazz in the 40s, 50s, 60s, this is your characteristic application - it's a variant of habanera, a popular and widespread form of tresillo/cinquillo 'cross-rhythm'...
I started playing cello a few years ago - primarily to continue playing the Bach Suites that I'd quit playing on guitar due to wrist/hand issues. Cello - left hand - is more ergonomic than classical...

Sounds to me like a tsymbaly or equivalent -
Came in handy ... kept my pot in there :mandosmiley:
Just a bit of added info: Contemporarily, solo flamenco guitar, or toque, employs standard use of capo to provide added "brightness" to the sound. Of course, it also assists in playing fast...
Time is everything. Have you seen the AD interview Beato did - if you have "rock steady" as TX2AK mentioned, you can fly. The more you can feel the beat, pulse, the farther you can fly.
...
I studied with formal teachers at the beginning (age 10), including a classical foundation. This was guitar, but I deploy the same principles, derived from classical pedagogy, to every instrument...
Acquiring an excellent 10 string (bandolim) got me back into playing some mndln again. I'd not played much or any mndln for several years - as I'm not playing those folk genres these days. But as I...
I knew who you were talking about immediately. I live a few blocks away. I often have problems with the way they describe inventory: lots of hyperbole, but often leaving out essential information.
10 string mndln and citterns for me too.
I play a 10-string Araujo bandolim. I play primarily Brazilian music, solo, on mndln, so I rarely if ever play 8-string mandolin.
Heresy. "Everyone" (99.9% of the GP) knows it's a little guitar thingy.
But have some empathy. When you're packing that LGT in a round-bodied banjo case, even folks relatively in-the-know are...
Oops, nevermind then :whistling:
If you were trying to sear a roast you were in the middle of, you're lucky you got off with just a broken spatula...
You're correct - we merely call it 'double-time.' We can divide the beats any way we wish - for example Latin music is in fours, but the signature syncopation is rendered by playing 'unequal'...
Mine's from this place: https://www.kgbcases.com.br/
..although it's not plastic - old school hardshell, nice - came with Brazilian instrument.
Hey thanks. I picked it up this morning. Fedex did what they said and did well with that. Problem was with seller - who said, "You should have received auto-generated . . . in your spam folder..."...
I checked my 'spam' folder - which i never, until now, check - and see that I'd been sent an email 4 days ago that my mandolin was waiting for me to pick up at the warehouse :( This prbly the result...
Ed used to send us emails demonstrating these instruments, but I don't recall if I've ever heard one 'unplugged.' At any rate, fantastic instrument.
I was surprised this morning by a note on my door from Fedex - stating that I wasn't available to accept delivery of my new mandolin :( So it rides the Fedex wagon all day in what is expected to be...
