Hey all,
Not sure if there's any D&D nerds out there, or specifically fans of Critical Role, but I am both of those things. I took it upon myself to arrange the theme song on mandolin....
Brad, I'm curious how you are getting the different colors? Are you dyeing? I'm really curious about try this myself, given the fact that I've just gotten my first casein pick and love it..might be...
I just signed up this morning because of this. Can't wait to dive in!
Z,
That shot at 2:18 has to be some B-roll of another instrument. I know John and have played his Loar a few times, he definitely doesn't have different gauges on those courses! A couple obvious...
I've been playing with one for years. To me, it's just an extension of the instrument. I don't really notice that it's there! Like has been said already, get one and if you don't like it, you'll...
Hey thanks a lot Gunnar! That's a compliment of the highest order, I'd say!
Hey all!
I nearly broke out in tears watching this video of Sierra last night, everything about it just screams perfection to me..

Every video...
This lady is just too damn smooth. What gets me every time is just how small those hands look compared to her axe! She is an absolute legend and definitely sits among the best players in the world in...
Heiden makes beautiful archtop OMs. Check this out:

I'm a big Sturgill fan regardless of this new album, but I love the new album. Sierra Hull is exquisite in everything she does and this album is no exception!
I got inspired by his little Jamgrass 741 jam, so I learned it and jammed out this morning. Enjoy!

Definitely sounds like Jamgrass 741 at the start...I know what I'm learning today! He sure makes that thing sing!
That photo is truly something special. From the instruments to the room to the painting, it's all perfect! I got to pick some Monroe tunes in the rotunda a few years back, it was a such a wild...
I personally plant my pinky finger on the top of my mandolin, and use a stiff wrist. I use forearm movement anchored at the pinky for my tremolo. It's going to be a personal preference thing, as you...
I've gotta say my highlight was Carlene and Marty at the end too. Will The Circle Be Unbroken has been the closing song of so many bluegrass festivals and events in my life - hearing those two play...
I'm curious about trying a Hense pick after reading this thread. Anyone know the best way to get ahold of one in Canada?
I think you will find that this varies quite a lot from player to player. Technique to me is less of what should I do and how should I do it, but rather avoiding the bad habits, and allow myself to...
I second ChrisMelodee, they aren't cheap but BlueChip does it for me. I've used only one pick for the last 7 years and that's a BC.
Keith, I feel your concern! I got this mandolin 12 years ago I think and it didn't have any mark there when I got it. I've played the hell out of this thing and I'm definitely doing a number on the...
My suggestion would be to watch classifieds for a used luthier-made axe. While some factory made mandos are certainly high quality, if you ask me, there's just no replacing a solid handmade...
I loved this video. It's those simple tips that go a long way if you ask me.
To each their own as far as picks go. You've gotta try the spectrum before you find your plectrum ;)
I used...
I've had the pleasure to get to know John from a young age (when I first started playing mandolin, aged 9) and since have spent a decent amount of time around him/playing with him/listening to him. I...
So I have been playing mandolin for about 14 years, and throughout the years I've had a few favorite picks. I started playing with Golden Gates, moved up to Wegens (of which I played a couple...
