I read music, can't do tab well but some of the tunes I play best are from just playing in a session. Both have a place and no reason why you can't do both. Sometimes I learn a tune from session.org...

Good call, these have about 18% less-arch than my normal one which over time I felt were a bit to much. Still alot of arch but the light color makes it hard to tell. Has become more of my norm....You...

I want to add a link to my signature that will say "More Newell Mandolins" to a folder on my facebook that anyone can see even if your not a member of Facebook. I used to know how to do that but I...
