Advice worth the price:)

At one show I saw in the early 70’s, he was opening for David Bromberg, which severely jilted my sensibilities even though I was a big Bromberg fan. And after Doc’s set, Bromberg came out about 35...
Interesting. That hand shaper for the neck was like one I worked with raising door panels, friction clamped knife head, not for an unskilled hand or the faint of heart. And the lack of respirators...
DV Mark Jazz 12 gets a lot of love for clean sound. Has a headphone jack and a volume control:). 15 lbs, if weight matters.
IIRC, Jethro played a Gibson F5 on the Adler House YouTube video, among other videos.
Emando.com, Cafe’s own Martin Stillion. NFI, but a happy customer.
That was fun. Thanks
I share your despair and I'm not really a newbie, just not a fast player. The discipline to work on the mechanics of picking, the 'zen' of relaxing and the confidence of performing are three...
I'm sorry, I can't help myself. And I do notice your turnover:)
Used, A style. Check the classifieds on this site. But radiused fretboard and wide nut may be hard to find at that price point. Eastman or Kentucky are the brands in that price range, although I...
I’ve only played 1 Loar, and it had a very lovely sound. Of affordable instruments, there’s a Duff and a Sullivan I lust for, although neither are for sale. I’ve played several very nice mandolins...
Very cool. thanks

The National Museum of African American Music is a must see in my opinion. On Broadway across from the Roman. More music, less clothes than the Country Music HOF.
I’d also make 3rd and Lindley...
My guitar playing wife had this surgery on her right thumb in 2021. Prior to that she had extreme pain in her pick holding thumb after 15 minutes and had had steroid injections every 3 months for...
Some things don't respond to direct force. Sneaking up sometimes is a more effective strategy, ie, moderating the slope to the hill.
Someone's not telling the truth, either through ignorance or deception. Won't help anything to have two alternate facts in circulation.
I think the added deflection of the top as the strings are brought to pitch plays a role. Easy to see on the G course.
Use the ‘Search’ function to see the many discussions of this topic. It will reduce any flaming.
Most folks buy instruments for the sound they produce, not the construction details.
Sounds like bluegrass guitar players. G, C or capo.
My take is people become familiar with the keys that are frequently used in the genre(s) they play. Most folksmusic is not done in flat keys, as horns were typically not used. Swing and jazz...
I have no use for one of these, but I really want one..........
It looks like he's playing with a thumb pick. Is that correct, and is that typical of the period?
Or swat the mosquitoes:)
