Thanks for the post Gary. Although I've been a Mandolin Cafe member since 2004 I've only been playing for two years and I'm just becoming acquainted with the mandolin greats. So now I know about...
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I received the tab from you on November 29. Three months later I'm finally playing it through and it's a joy.
Well done!
There's a great interview right here with a multi-instrumentalist who has managed to be great on many instruments while maintaining a full-time job outside of music. My take-away is that it's about...
Very nice! I had never heard of an oud until last Thursday at a concert in the park. There was a classical guitarist performing who played a lute on a couple of songs. He said it's predecessor was...
Maybe somewhere around five years more or less. Then you're experienced and pretty good or maybe not so good lol.
In my search for tips on playing tremolos I'm often led to archived Mandolin Cafe threads. Some mention using one of the fatter edges of the pick. I've tried it and it works great! I'm just wondering...
Over a decade ago I was at an auction trying to buy a guitar but was being out bid at every turn. I saw an old handmade mandolin on a table of junk and ended up getting it for $7.00. When I got it...
There's a live version of Tom Petty doing this song. I haven't been able to find it on Youtube. I love the song.
I definitely credit Baron Collins-Hill for getting me started on my way. I have a list of my ten favorite songs I learned from his site that I go over as part of my every day drills. The backing...
I have an uncle Earl, own The Turtles recordings ... no, I can't even begin to pull out of this. -25
You're not alone except what I hear is "Yelly, yelly."
This Fender site has what appears to be the same thing with your choice of mandolin, bass, guitar, ukulele and piano.

By golly I think you're correct Jim. There's a much better view in another episode where he's noodling around in his livingroom and it looks much like the Blue Moon BM-07 Electro Acoustic Mandolin....
I'm a big fan of Detectorists, a quirky British television sitcom with subtle humor set in a fictional small town in northern Essex that revolves around Andy and Lance, two members of the Danebury...
It's funny you should mention out of time foot tapping while playing. I noticed I was doing the same thing myself just yesterday and attempted to correct it. I found out it's going to be a process.
I'm registered! Sitting on my front porch waiting expectantly.
A lovely looking and sounding instrument!
Thanks everyone. I have a band mate who used a Hercules stand for his bass. I'm going to see how it fits with my mandolin at tomorrow's gig. If that seems good, that's what I'll go with.
I have a Godin A8 electric mandolin that I'm going to incorporate into our band. I would appreciate some stand suggestions from gigging musicians. I want something that will keep it well protected...
Thanks everyone, I have a point of reference now. It appears my question should have been, "How much should I expect to pay for a good starter acoustic electric mandolin?" Hopefully I'll be back...
First of all, thanks to mikeomando and bobd for the replies. What I want is a sound like an acoustic mandolin that I can also play unplugged. I'm hoping for at or under $500. As a novice I'm not...
My wife and I want to incorporate electric mandolin into our duo but I don't want to go very expensive until I know it'll work. On the other hand, I don't want to go so cheap that it's destined to...
