    App "Chord Cracker Pro For Mandoiin"

    Really cool, check it out, just click any frets, and you would think that marking G and E strings in 2nd fret would render a D.....But, it says some off-the-wall A+13. What in the world?

  3. Re: Is this a chord? first fret, D AND A, then G&E on 3rd fret?

    Thanks to all. I guess I will have figure what the other two chords of the 1, 4, 5 progression is. Or just keep it easy where I already am!! Good fun indeed.
  4. Is this a chord? first fret, D AND A, then G&E on 3rd fret?

    I dont see it in any chord chart, but I pulled up G Jones and Tammy Wynette "Just someone I used to Know" and they are clearly playing in this key. Actually, I have seen it more than once. Is it a...

  6. Help! How to attach KK Twin Spot to my A Mandolin

    This just arrived, two little 'transducers' to be attached, or inserted, I feel that the instructions are not clear enough. There is a sheet of paper that says ' superglue not included' I am scared...

    Re: Under $300

    As to rogues being mediocre, I'm astounded at how good my Ibanez feels and sounds. I paid a lot more for a Loar but I find it of lesser quality and satisfaction. Go figure. Anyway, that's the one...

    Was following a you tube tune where it had me crank my D up to an E and the string broke, a new string. What is the consensus of making strings tighter, how far can they go, is there a max of one...

    Re: Does anyone "serious" not use a pick?

    Amazing, AubreyK....I thought of posting this issue yesterday. I LOVE to strum the mandolin, make notes mainly with ring finger, play Bury Me Neath the Willow, Echos of Ozarks, etc, it sounds fine...

    Re: What is the '4' chord in key of F

    I may answer my own question....it dawned on me as a beginner that it is really a Bflat, so I am moving a B to the left one fret, making a B Flat? So this begs the question,, if this is a Bflat, why...

    What is the '4' chord in key of F

    Dabbling with figuring things out, I think that A# is going to be the chord, thus F, A# and C to make up the key. The A# up on 6th fret doesn't sound all that great when playing two-finger chords,...
  14. How to decide, do I want lite gauge or medium or what

    Extra light gauge (.09 for E) is cool and easy to play, the heavy gauge G is just big. What is the main distinction to guide us to what gauges to use? Ease of fingering , quieter rather than...

    Use of a Capo

    The key of E, e.g., is a little difficult to grab, ,,,,does anyone have a capo chart to show its position for the various keys? thanks
  17. (Melodic) strumming rather than picking one note after another??

    I get more enjoyment from the great harmonic sound of the lingering notes of a 'strum' rather than pick, pick, pick. A great example of this is, go to YOUTUBE and type in "Rise Eddie Vedder". Pick...
