I agree with a lot of the suggestions here. I think it's best to internalize the piece first, then learn how to play it on your instrument. A book I have, "The Musician's Way" suggests using a piano...

I posted this on another thread a while ago, but I was there for this set. Found a Blue Chip Pick on the ground during the set, too! Was really looking forward to GMBR 2020... I hope the festival can...

I remember listening to this show live. He actually lost his way part of the way through and had to stop. After the show he tried again, and this is the version. Not saying this to knock him at all -...

I was hoping to finally attend one of the “Christmas” shows this year, and was hoping for a return to Tanglewood.

LFH was really starting to push for donations directly to the show from listeners, at least in their email newsletters and in the youtube chat each week, which I did. They had just started up a fan...

As I said in the other thread, almost everything about my current musical life can be traced back to Chris taking over PHC/LFH. Sad about this.

Ugh... just saw the post from Thile on twitter and came here.... Very sad about this. Thile and Live from Here/Prairie Home Companion made me love music again after feeling burned out for while....

Check out the book The Musician's Way by Gerald Klickstein (Amazon link). For me it had great advice on structuring practice and how to approach learning difficult pieces. Applicable to any...

Jake has posted seven tabs from Landmark on his site for purchase at $5 each.

After playing the guitar for 30 years, I decided to take up the mandolin a few months ago. I got a bunch of mandolin books from the library, but The Mandolin Pickers Guide to Bluegrass Improvisation...

They did, though it wasn't part of the telecast:

I asked Jake on Instagram and he said the plan right now is for guitar only, though he may decide to add mandolin and banjo parts later.

I don’t know which instruments will be included, and unfortunately I can’t find where Jake mentioned it.

I learned Salty Flatt in mandolin - lots of fun to play. Working on Down in the Dirt on...

It's a great album - I also saw via Jake's Instagram that a book of transcriptions is in the works.

Just an update on this - I had no trouble flying Southwest with the Rover travel guitar.

I don’t want to fly with my Eastman either. What Rogue do y’all recommend for a knock around traveling mandolin?

I’m about to fly with a carry-on Washburn Rover guitar in a big bag for the first time. It’s longer than the typical carry-on rules would allow but the airline specifically allows small instruments...

Yeah - Acoustic Guitar Forum is the best I've found so far, but leaves something to be desired, which is why I started this tread

For you guitar players out there: Is there a site similar to this one but for guitar? With news, discussion, learning resources? What are your favorite guitar sites?

I was in this boat earlier this year - a guitar player for 30 years - also thinking I'd by a sub-$200 mandolin, and after reading and researching, came to the same conclusions that people are saying...

I know this thread is a few months old, but I saw Frank a few weeks before you posted this. He was invited up on stage at a Hawktail show on 8/14/19 at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY. They played...

My sister-in-law has a fiddle. Now that I can play a bit of mandolin, I'm excited to try it out. I'm sure I'll be terrible at it.

I actually had a dream that I did try it. In the dream I picked up...

When I click his link for the transcription, I get a google docs error page. Were you able to see the file?

Great show tonight!

I gravitate toward dark sounding music as well, so I can't wait to check out all the tunes posted here. Here's one I've been really into lately, and one that's fun to play: The Boxing Reels by Jeremy...
