To everyone recommending the best possible acoustic mandolin I can buy and add a pickup to it, I feel you. It is just that I only had a week, 10 days max to get the final product for a friend to...
Thanks to all the reply, I was able to lock in on a Godin A-8 from a fellow forum member. Hope it reaches me in time and in beautiful condition!
Happy playing and thanks to all the well meaning...
To give perspective, A friend is coming from the US to an asian country where I live in 20 days, and is willing to carry the instrument for me. Ordering directly to where I live will impose around...
As the title says, I am looking for a decent A/E mandolin to be able to plug in and play but also strum without the electronic setup. I am learning jazz, but also play classical tunes and some...
Thanks for the reply Don :)
I am trying to keep it fun. every once in a while I get excited about a tune I hear somewhere and then learn and play it to my hearts satisfaction!
changing chords is...
continuing to report some of my progress on this thread and 3 questions that have come:
1. how fast should I be able to play a tune before I can shift to another from jethro's book ?
the speed...
thanks for the reply lowtone. a lot of your threads and replies on the forum have helped me over time :). honing memorized tunes to performance level is something I am working on, and with ted's...
thanks for your reply don! first of all I feel a little overwhelmed getting advice from you, as I was just watching a youtube video of you playing while you were probably replying to this thread.

sounds really cool way to practise! just to confirm that I got it right - I should try to sing to the tunes I am playing...lyrics can be my own..but matching the tune..and as I sing, I might wander...
Ok this is good advice and in parts what I have been doing so far. but here are some observations regarding that.
Part 3 is the easiest and the most fun - we are playing and integrating tunes that...
hello everyone, I hope all are safe.
I started playing last year and learned to play some basic tunes. this march I started with FFcP and ingrained the initial 4 positions on my left hands. I have...

this mic is called moano Au-A04 is pretty inexpensive with great reviews.It is available in india and...
thanks a lot guys, I think this will open up this great composer to me.
I recently came across these arrangements and tried to play a little. I cannot really play by reading sheet music and would be grateful if i can find these arrangements recorded somewhere to be able...
quick correction : paperback is available in general, but not available for delivery due to lock down in my area which is expected to continue for atleast 30 more days. I want to use the time to...
I have developed a regular practice routine of the inrtoductary FfcP exercises which are available for free on jazzmando.com. I plan to buy the book, but live in india and only kindle edition is...
thanks a lot pete! you and some other content contributors have opened up mandolin playing as a possibility for people from low income nations like me~!
thanks! an hour of practice is the higher side of what I devote regularly, chunking practice in 15 minutes, with a warm up is surely great advice! thanks :D
This is architectonic. I completely understand (at least intellectually), and am trying to make sure that I pick up the instrument everyday and do some practice deliberately, with purpose. sometimes...
This is what my father does, he picked up the violin at the age of 46 and plays indian pop music from memory/listening, and that is all he does wrt the practice. his arguements are exactly the same...
perhaps you have something valuable that I cannot grasp at this time. the A in the SMART stands for attainable, and hence if someone sets a goal and fails to get there by following any short term...
thanks for both of your replies. yes, setting SMART goals is important, and often it is helpful to have a mentor or a teacher. I am relying on the internet, including this community for now, and my...
Thanks JeffD! I see where you are coming from exactly. I have in the past suffered much from perfectionism and ambition, which ultimately takes the joy out of things and kept me constantly...
