    Re: The Traveling Pick Sampler - Anyone Interested?

    I just ended up buying some Dawg picks from the last time the sampler was through my hands in July or August (I am slow sometimes).

    Re: Non-mando question - singing

    I am not a good singer, but I keep reminding myself that voice in an instrument and it can be trained and improved.

    Some of the ear training apps have voice modes. I have found that helpful.
  6. Re: Seeking Advice - Washburn M118SW Any Good?

    I started on the equivalent Washburn A model, but like the previous poster, I would not recommend it. They were not great.

    An Eastman or The Loar would be better.

    Re: Does this program exist?

    Transcribe will attempt to identify notes. I haven't used it extensively, but it seems to me not all that accurate, although workable if you knew the chords.

  10. Re: Has anyone heard about a crazy mandolinist named Frank Wakefi

    My introduction to bluegrass was through Garcia and Grisman and is still heavily weighted towards jamgrass instead of more classic bluegrass. So, yes, he is well known but I didn't know him. My...

    Not sure if this is what you are looking for specifically, but you could google songs that exclusively use the Pentatonic scale for the melody. Tons of Eric Clapton if you are into the blues. ...
