Oh right, I should have asked you which Chinquapin Hunting it was about, they are two different tunes, unrelated as far as I know. The D tune has two parts and is more played in bluegrass circles...

Here is a great solo mandolin version from Greg Clarke, at the Portland Old-time Music Gathering:

Congrats once again Abbey! I think it's well deserved. It was great meeting you and being your classroom neighbour during this Sore Fingers Easter Week, can't wait to see how your playing will have...

I've met many people in the French bluegrass community since the last 2 years, but none in my town.
Actually there used to be some young players (same age as me) who had a great band together but I...

Not at all, not even bluegrass jams.
Just to be clear, I'm talking about Montpellier, France.

Jim: I went there, and it was great. I can't compare with any other old time jam, since this was my first, but I loved it. I'm now certain that I like old time music more than I like Irish music....

Jim, thank you so much for this. I read there was an old time jam at The Globe Bar, but I went there and they had no idea what I was talking about. But they mentioned the Green Room, just next door,...

Hi,

I'm in New York City since Saturday evening and I have to leave tomorrow morning. I'd love to find an Old Time jam somewhere tonight. I was at the First Monday Bluegrass Jam and then at Mona's...

I finally bought a Gator case, it feels cheaper than the TKL, but there's just enough depth for the Tone-Gard and just enough room on the sides for fitting the strap that I just bought. Also, a bit...

I catched her show in Guildford on February the 3rd. I live in France, so I had a mandolinistic trip to the UK (first time there), two nights in Brighton where I bought a brand new Northfield F5S,...

How bad do you guys think it can be if I have to push on the lid to be able to close it?
I just bought a Northfield F5S at the Acoustic Music Co. in Brighton, UK (very happy with it!). The TKL case...

I can understand that! Tennessee Mountain Fox Chase and Hell Broke Loose In Georgia are two of my very favorites too.

Ok, it's probably just a coincidence then.

I didn't know the difference in size was that slight.
I know about the F5S in TAMCO, I'm thinking maybe I should make a trip to Brighton, but I don't...

Just a little question here, out of curiosity: why is it that most Northfield mandolins in the Classifieds are "Big Mon" models? I'm looking for an F5S (although I'm not sure I'd like to buy one...

I don't like how they are dealing with promo codes. I should be able to see clearly whether my promo code has been accepted or not, even before checkout. I clicked "Complete my order" and I'm still...

Thanks for your answers, I will try. Do you know how long these two promo codes are supposed to last? (I didn't know about "Thanks15" by the way, thanks)

It's unclear to me whether I can subscribe for only one month... I'd like to use this offer to try Joe Walsh's course for one month, without being forced to give my credit card information. And the...

…to catch *him* some day...

I love it when I just start a new thread with a simple question and get lots of answers and opinions without me doing anything. Thanks!

Tobin's great answer contains much of what I wanted to say:...

Critical topic here for other CT-geeks out there. Have you noticed Chris Thile seems to have kind of switched back to Wegen picks instead of "his" BlueChip CT55?

I saw the Punch Brothers live in...

Hi everyone,

Thanks to the slowdowner on Free Bluegrass Backing Tracks (fbbts.com), I recently found out about the playbackRate attribute of the video and audio HTML5 elements.

So... I was able...

Here it is, for those who would like to hear it. It's not that easy to find. Is this the one you were mentioning?

Straight from the Brittany Haas/Dominick Leslie/Greg Liszt Master Class at "Mandolines de Lunel" (a mandolin festival in the South of France) last Autumn, where I learned the tune:

Now that's nice. I'll definitely ask for this to be my birthday gift.

Back to Here and Heaven, I think what Chris Thile does in concert (with the mandolin) is something like this:
Verse : 700(0) for the main D chord (pinky on the 7th fret of the G string, that way the...
