  1. Re: CGDA how is one supposed to play G#7 and A7 chords?

    Judgment?:crying: I'm in trouble now.
  2. Re: CGDA how is one supposed to play G#7 and A7 chords?

  3. Re: Long-term (1-2 years) storage of a mandolin

  4. Re: Long-term (1-2 years) storage of a mandolin

    I've ‘retired’ guitars to their respective cases for over 20 years, only slackening the strings for protection. Dry in my part of Oregon used to mean ‘didn’t rain today’, but things are changing and...
  5. Re: CGDA how is one supposed to play G#7 and A7 chords?

    Drop the 4 finger chords and play like Jethro, three finger chords (mostly). On a CGDA instrument, the easy A7 is the 3 finger chord 767, which is G C# A, as Walter noted. G#7 is one fret closer to...

    I don’t know the origin, but I do know that any money to China was sent long ago. As you type on your Chinese component filled computer, looking at a Chinese made monitor, you might better ask ‘does...

    Re: Tab vs. Dots

    I learned to read tab when I started to play mandolin about 10 years ago, but I learned to read notation when I was 8, which is a very long time ago. And I've learned tunes by ear as well. But now...

    Re: Vintage vs New

    its the 'common wisdom' that the majority of folks on the cafe are bluegrassers. The common wisdom has been debunked many times, most effectively by the one person with data, Scott, the site owner....

    That's a very interesting comment about Art, given that everything that's made is a form of human expression. The hierarchy of 'utility' versus 'ART' seems challenged by better machines. And many...
