I remember back in the ‘70’s when friends would come over to our house with a single or LP that they’d just managed somehow to get hold of, and we were all excited because it was an ‘import’, meaning...

Quite important to listen, I mean extremely important to listen when playing, you’ll notice this in a session, later on at night…

However YES! there are a number of situations where it’s important...

From AI (because I’m busy at the moment):

In the context of music and music theory, the word "always" can be considered a form of hyperbole, which is a figure of speech involving exaggeration for...

Oops, sorry. :(
When I posted my comments earlier I hadn’t realised we were discussing a specific session in a specific town and specific people.
However thanks for this, I think group/social...

Thanks. That's exactly right.

I got quite an expensive guitar capo (about 20 euros). Then I cut down the top and two handles to size (8th fret on my 20.5 inch octave) with a hacksaw blade, removed the spring and clipped off about...

Welcome! Never too old to do anything! :))

I think it should be made clear that tab with notation is part of a long tune-acquisition process and each person uses what they feel suits them best.

1. Take a tune like The Tar Road to Sligo....

I used to ferment beer - now that we’re on topic, thank you Bill.
Gallons, and gallons of the stuff. Beautiful rich favours of malt and hops wafting through the house on long warm summer days....

And the 'thread' (le fil) in French is masculine.

:mandosmiley: :)

You already play really well. Excuse the personal observation but I feel that you don't like to make mistakes, I mean you'd rather not play than make a mistake. That's something that will change.

I had a kitten that died young, it was very emotional.
I think the main thing for me was the thought that something didn't have a chance, the lack of fairness. Opportunity.

#18 [6] might do, why not take the melody and jack it up a third, and another example maybe down to the sixth.
Then play the standard...

It’s official! Tone is important. :))

Inspiring performance Frank.

There is a better quality 1996 remaster edition if anyone prefers? :))

Peace and Love!! :cow:

Good luck! :)

In the past I’ve written out tunes like this (for myself) but it was just a shorthand way of getting more variations, or various harmonised riffs onto just the one page. This may have been a factor,...

Nice playing Jairo, I like this tune. Can you please post a source for the notation - or tab? :)

Are Bluegrass festivals organic? :popcorn:
(The popcorn means it’s a rhetorical question, something to think about, not a debate)

Personally what I see happening is that people have learned to...

On fast hornpipes I like: |(DUD) UU DU DU |
It’s actually the UU that I like because the rhythm is not the same as DU so it gives the triplet a sort of rhythmic ripple afterwards.
