    Reattaching and Oud Tailpiece

    Anyone have any advice on reattaching an Oud Tailpiece? I’m a newbie to other than basic work on my mandolin and guitars, but never did anything with an Oud. If it’s fairly simple, I’d rather try...
  2. Re: Progressing a Learning Session Into a "Regular" Session

    Well, that is kind of you, but I've been to "regular" sessions, and we aren't there yet. It is a "learning" session, and, frankly, the music store is supporting a "learning" session, because its...
  3. Re: Progressing a Learning Session Into a "Regular" Session

    Thanks for the advice. I don’t think we run into those difficulties here. Sessions happen fairly regularly, and that isn’t a discussion I have ever heard of, nor have I heard of anyone being shut...
  4. Progressing a Learning Session Into a "Regular" Session

    I started my Sacramento CA learning session a few years ago, and I've chosen to focus on fewer tunes, moving slowly, rather than jumping around in order to help beginners and early intermediate...

    Re: "Noodling" at Sessions

    I hear the newcomers who claim they are “discouraged” and I can understand that.

    At the same time, Irish Traditional Music is, unlike a lot of music, an open forum for players to participate...

    Wow! As the Original Poster, OP, I don’t think that’s fair at all!

    I clearly explained that I’d been told this by a violin teacher my wife and I had, and that another person defined it...

    Re: "Noodling" at Sessions

    I feel like the "noodling" concept is much more about "etiquette" than anything else. And still, the discussion gets confused and difficult as we refer to various ideas and experiences. Examples:

    Re: "Noodling" at Sessions

    Well, it is a relevant point, actually. The conversation simply evolved:

    This point got brought up because the point was made that "noodling" by a mandolin is not the same - and often forgiven -...

    Re: Travelling With Mandolin

    We do have a private room, but they don't lock. I guess I'll be in the dining car with my mando seated next to me and my wife across from me. SCANDALOUS!!! They'll be talking for WEEKS about it......

    I have had many of these experiences, but I guess I have interpreted it differently.

    For the list of tunes:

    I have made these lists of tunes, now, and it's quite a bit of work. I was...

    Re: "Noodling" at Sessions

    I don't think I read anyone on this thread stating that it is an expectation that no one "noodles" or tries to play along if they don't know a tune at a "learning" session.

    That's what a...

    Sounds like my question led to other discussions about other things, which is fine. I don't mind my question leading to other people getting clarification on similar concerns.

    "Noodling" at Sessions

    Recently, a divergent understanding emerged among the fellow learners who attend our learning/slow session regarding what "noodling" is, what this REALLY means.

    All were in agreement that...

    DougC just dropped this in another forum topic, and I thought I'd drop it here, since it is likely to be helpful in connection to this topic. I asked him: What are some "core" session tunes? So that...

    Wow, Doug! This is so awesome! Thank you so much!

    Unfortunately, I haven't found the tune book you cite. I would love to buy one as a reference for our group.

    Re: How many of you play 3rd-less chords?

    Sure... but I pretty sure you know that backing in Celtic/Irish music isn't really a "rhythm" job, since the tune has the rhythm built in. It's more for counterpoint, as many on this site have said,...
