This. If it's not my left hand on the wrong string (or fret!), then my left hand is picking the wrong string. It also took me a while to get 'two frets per finger' through my head, but I think...
This is my favorite video I've seen this year - thanks for sharing. Maybe this one will be my first one to try and learn by ear. A simplified version, of course.
Whoops! "Guitar Family" is the name of the app.

I had planned to put off learning music notation because it feels like torture the way it's taught in the books ("3 songs using only the E string!"). But it is already limiting what I'd...
Thank you so much! The search function wouldn't do DUD because it only had 3 letters, and I was accidentally searching fro "strum pattern" instead of "pick pattern!"
Hi! I am new to playing mandolin and am trying to build good habits so I don't have to break bad habits later. I could have sworn that I read somewhere in these forums (but can't find it now) that...

I got my V-Picks from the free drawing. I am a new mandolinist (got it for Christmas), but I am still going to attempt to post what they are like in an effort to repay some of the good...
Thank you all so much - I have lots to listen to. Really, the only one of all of these people that I knew of besides the Chieftans & the Dubliners was Kevin MacLeod - we use his royalty-free music...
I know this is a really old thread, but if you have Hulu, you can watch Road to Nashville free.
Also, there is a forum for Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance music here. I believe many of the threads are music postings.
Good luck!
They look cool - I would love to try them out! :mandosmiley:
Get the ebook from Rob Meldrum and use the directions in it - I learned so much and my mandolin sounds much better.
You can just ask for it from him by email - see the third post in this thread.
I can't stress doing that enough. I set up my mandolin by myself using it and it is so much better! If you haven't done any instrument work, you can at least show the book to whoever you get to...
Does one of the strings look higher from the fretboard than the other? Do they sound closer to the same pitch at, say, the 15th fret?
Also, don't really listen to me, I'm new here. But no one...
Mmmmm - fumigated flute. Tasty!
Seriously, they should have offered him an option besides destruction. I agree that quarantine services are necessary, and if the fresh bamboo was packaged with...
Large retail chain stores do lots of analysis on their return on investment of space. I suspect that this has something to do with which mandolins they sell or how they are displayed. Even a flashy...
I am thoroughly entertained by all the posts referencing other threads on the cafe. :popcorn:
Hey, I just got a Fender for Christmas - don't knock your Savannah. I have only been on Mandolin Cafe for less than a month, and I have learned so much! Welcome :grin:
Thank you all so much! I have bought a little bit, and have to save up some spending money to buy the rest. I have picked out a few songs to begin with - I worked on The Butterfly today. I have...
Thank you so much! I couldn't make out what it said on the headstock!
Hi!
I saw this photo in a list of things being offered at an upcoming auction, but I can't tell anything from the photo. I am very new to mandolins (just got my first for Christmas), but if I can...
Okay, I just read through 12 pages of this thread. I like the They Might Be Giants and Grateful Dead ones mentioned. And someone beat me to posting the Bob Ross one (I make my high school art...
Mandohammer, I can't find the David Surrette. Mike & Marty, I will pick one of the Planxty albums to check out. If you were only buying one, would you get Planxty or the Planxty Collection? Roland...
Thank you all so much. I did it, and I'm done! I didn't have enough tension on the strings when I was testing them as I did the nut, so the G strings were a little buzzy. I filed down an old nut...
