Why don't we shoot for Bluegrass Stomp as the mandolin feature? Since about 5 or 6 people can play Rawhide up to tempo.

Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I hope that's right. I play sax and bass too, and those don't bother my hand, but my hand is affecting how I play those instruments.

Just a prop, but she keeps good time with it at least.

Yes, thanks for giving it a name, I think that's right. Some kind of repetitive motion injury, now I have a name.

I have taken several breaks from playing mandolin, gets better, but then as soon...

Didn't want to start a new thread, so... I'm getting a lot of left hand thumb pain at the base of my thumb, after buying a new instrument with taller frets. I am accustomed to playing fretless...

If Mike Bub is on it, for starters, you know it's going to have the groove if nothing else.

I wonder if the intent is to play that duo style?

i might as well pile on too.

Katie knows.

I hope he's awed.

Another option would be to put on a new fingerboard with modern frets and keep the original with original frets. I think that's probably overkill for an '20 A-4, but it has been done.

Put a button on and use the Levy's.

What? Can you post an example of something played in this tuning?

B to Gb might not be a 5th, but Cb to Gb sure is.

I thought that as long as I didn't plant everything would be great, but I am noticing a big improvement with the fingers curled both in tone and fluidity. Curled vs open and lighly brushing the top....

And another way to explain it...there’s only one of each letter name in a scale in diatonic western music.

For example in the key of B, it would be B C# D# E....Not B C# Eb E..

Any number of artificial dominants, yes. In bluegrass probably triads, anything else they would usually be at least 7th chords, and often altered or even subbed. Bass players think of them as just...

It's also useful to think of the functions of the chords. Of course the I is tonic, a resolved sound with no tendency to move. The iii and vi chords can also function as tonic. The IV chord functions...

For a while he was doing shows with more of an R&B slant, with a horn section and STAX/Muscle Shoals feel. I don't know if he recorded anything like that. He is a creative force.

I try to be...

You could say the same of any guitar, I guess. How many versions of the Les Paul are there, even without custom modifications? Someone changes the bridge saddles and it's no longer a Les Paul? That...

I'm a fan of teles, but not sure what to do with a tenor. Play fiddle tunes? I'm looking anyway...

Many of my favorite guitarists play telecasters. Of course all the brilliant country players, but...

I don't know, but it seems like unless you want to concentrate strictly on irish trad it's kind of limited.

I've recently started messing with guitar more, and have gone in exactly the opposite...

I agree with everyone that you should see a doctor, hopefully the one you mention who understands musicians. Let them check you out, could be many things.

Electric bass is notoriously hard on the right wrist. Assuming that's the cause of your tendinitis, try to keep the wrist as straight as possible. People have problems when they rest the forearm on...

I hope it's appropriate to mention this, but if not I hope a moderator will remove it.

Andy Brown, the fine guitarist we often see with Don Stiernberg, has released a solo guitar CD that is as...
