    Re: Action!

    Can't really tell from the pictures. This will get you close . . . at the 12th fret, use a penny on the G and a dime on the E . . . adjust height so that they slide between just touching. The height...
  4. Re: The Beatles: In My Life (solo mandolin instrumental)

    Beautiful rendition Colin. You play it wonderfully and your Gibson A4 sounds so sweet. And much thanks for the sheet music.
  5. Re: Steve Morse, Rob Wasserman, David Grisman 1985 Merv Griffin S

    I certainly love everything Dawg. However this mix, IMHO, doesn't mesh all that well.

    Pretty sure David was playing the real deal . . . a Monteleone.

    Re: To Speed Neck or Not to Speed Neck

    I think the main issue is the humidity where you generally play. High H and poly don't mix, but little effect with a SN. I have both so very familiar. When the AC is on, or rarely the heat, there...
  7. Re: My mandolin tablature - I call it "Howzatgo"

    I'm sure that OP developed the shorthand system primarily so he wouldn't forget things that he spent a lot of time doing (800+!) and for his own personal use. Elegant in its simplicity and...

    Re: String lubricants

    Been wiping down strings with WD-40 for 20+ years. Not every time I play, but a couple times a week - taking care not to get it on the finish. Fingers glide smoothly and easily, and I'd guess it...

    Songs that fit the mandolin well

    Certain songs seem to lend themselves to the mandolin. I'll often hear a song and think that to myself. A couple that I've had fun with is Mr. Chow by Acoustic Alchemy and Jessica by the Allman...

    Re: Mandolin Metal Solos

    Very cool Tommy, though I doubt "cool" is used much in Metaldom. Thanks for pushing the mando envelope. I see your 6 string axes in the vids - question, how does playing metal on the mando differ...

    Re: Bridge/Saddle Leaning

    MikeE, not sure which tread you're referring to regarding sinkage. Anyway, those wavy lines from the string reflections do appear to be bending down under the foot of the bridge - so is it just an...

    Re: Bridge/Saddle Leaning

    A couple observations from my untrained and limited experienced eyes. Would be interested in hearing the thoughts of others. 1) the angle of the screw threads look way off compared to the flat of...

    Re: When to do a deep touchup/fix

    Since it's new to you, I might consider something for the light ones and a super clean / polish buff might be in order. If there's something larger, I'd let it be as a beauty mark. The only exception...

  19. Re: Who can I thank for the O'Carolan Project?

    Nice set of songs and enjoying taking a stab at a few. Is there software that will take sheet music like this and produce a midi file or similar. Would be nice to hear a song as it's written and...

    Re: Seven Come Eleven - CGP with Dawg

    I know just what you mean Olaf, and you express it well. I can see a little different Tommy when he's playing with the Dawg, a little more subdued perhaps, more selective about the notes maybe? The...
