That was great! Thanks for posting. Can't wait to hear the full album.

Billy G.

Still looking for a PDF or other way to work on this tune.

I've tried a few but seem to gravitate towards the Jim Dunlop Jazz II.

Yes. I'm familiar with Don's Vibe record. It's a great recording but still more old school traditional jazz. Thanks again for the suggestions. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that there may not...

Thanks for the replays so far. I guess I'm looking for something more Funk, R&B influenced. Maybe it just doesn't exist.
If it was a guitar player it would be more like Ken Navarro, Ray Obiedo, Paul...

I'm a fan of all sorts of music including what some refer to as "Smooth Jazz" - think Fourplay, George Benson, Rippingtons, etc. Are there any recordings of this type that anyone might recommend?

I agree with all of the above. I've had an NS Micro on my mandolin for several weeks now. I used to use the ClearTune app in my iPhone but the NS Micro is way more convenient and very accurate.

I like the Jim Dunlop Jazz I. It's small and not too pointy.

Donnie -thanks for the offer. I sent you a message with my email address.

Does anyone know where I can find a good tab (or tef file) for #6 Barn Dance?
I just heard this song while checking out some of the videos at The Gray Mandolin site and I'd love to work on it.

I have the new NS Micro and I love it. Before I got it I was using ClearTune on my iPhone. The NS Micro is simple and accurate and always there and ready to go.

I was torn between "Back Up And Push" and "You're Running Wild".

What about this?

Thanks Mike! I was not being facetious - just confused.

I don't use (or have) a capo. I've noticed that many of the tabs (.tef) files that I get from Mandozine.com will have things like c12 above the tab staff. I'm assuming that this is saying to play the...

I like the Dunlop Jazz I (the least pointy one)

I just listened to New Primitive in it's entirety on Spotify and I loved it. In fact, so much so that it prompted me to listen to the One More For The Road album (which is playing as I type this)....

Yes, I am able to open .tef files.

Now I see some of the fingerings indicated in the music notation staff (not the tab staff). However, it does not indicate the complete fingerings. Even so, it...

I'm working with the Grishman Minimum Daily Requirements exercises. Could someone suggest the correct fingering for these? Thanks!

Patrick - I'm also looking forward to what it is you have to share.

Thanks!

I agreed - "Highway 40 Blues" is a smokin' track. I also love "Don't Let Your Sweet Love Die". It was Ricky and New Grass Revival that spurred my interest in the mandolin. I did a number of shows...

I've gotta check out some of these records. I still find myself listening to Ricky Skaggs "Highways And Heartaches" album. I guess it's not exactly pure Bluegrass but I still dig it.

Now THIS is fantastic. This is the 1st thread that I've subscribed to on the forum.

stevedenver - Thanks so much for taking the time to deliver such a wealth of information in such a useful and...

Here's a video from my past. I'm not playing mandolin. I'm playing drums. This is the only tune we did that had a mando in it.
