Absolutely! "Bluegrass up the Neck" and "The Pentatonic Mandolin" are two of the best instruction book/CD's available!
I'm currently subscribed to Sharon's Intermediate Bluegrass course. Most of the lessons have a sheet you can download with the chords, tab, and standard notation.
This week I took possession of this fantastic new mandolin made by Dave Thormahlen in Corvallis Oregon. Dave is mainly a harp maker, but he makes a couple mandolins a year. This one is a copy of...
When I saw this thread title, I was prepared for a story involving blood. Glad it wasn't that :)
You probably won't be doing any chop chords :)
I had one of the red ones - loved it! The design of that rev was on the small side - not diameter but height. Felt like a beanie.
There are lots of different kinds and I would recommend buying a bunch and trying them out. The Primetones have several varieties and are popular here, Proplecs, the Wegens, some people like the...
i checked out Chordpulse. The website says this:
"ChordPulse has MIDI output but no audio output. An external, General MIDI compatible software or hardware synthesizer is required to produce...
Jon Voight's car, anyone? :)
Hi mando friends,
A couple of weeks ago we performed at the Oregon coast. We almost always forget to set up recording equipment, but this time someone from our audience recorded us and put it on...
Are you going to be playing mandolin while you are singing? After years of playing guitar, it took me a long time and a lot of practice to be able to sing and chop on the offbeat at the same time. ...
One time several years ago I was at a performance of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. Darren Vincent was playing with the band. I was surprised to see him use a capo when he was playing...
Eastman 515V. I have played dozens of gigs with it!
Why? it's disgusting American food :)
There is truth in this! I was excited when a local store got a Stiver F one time. I brought my Collings MT along as a compare. The Stiver was really nice, but it didn't knock my socks off compared...
Here are a few threads on the forum about hearing aids - check them out. I got Widex Moment hearing aids this year and they make a world of difference, and I have had no trouble with them in any...
Can you post some audio clips? Would be easier for me to understand that way.
But that is not a particularly good price on the 150
I have a related question. I had some pretty deep grooves after years of playing on one of my mandolins. I took it in and they dressed the frets and reset the action. The grooves are gone, but I...
Wow.. takes us back huh? :)
I know it's time to change strings when I notice the second A string is hard to keep in tune. I have lived with it and gone 14 mos or longer, but it's a pain to keep tuning. After that long, a...
I saw this on Facebook - a blacktop 515 with Adirondack spruce:

Anyone seen or played one in the wild yet? I'd love to try one.
Cheers,

Just a "pretty good" mandolin? :)
Ok I'm reviving this old thread!
In my band I use an SM57 for mandolin, and and SM58 for vocals. I like the sound I get from the SM57, but we usually have to crank my level up on our PA - like to...
I think you will like the Big Muddy. About the adjustable bridge - Mike usually sends some extra bridges of different heights along with the mandolin. Also, I have purchased 3 new Big Muddies (one...
