  1. Re: How do you play a "dark" vs. "brighter" tone?

    Just got back to my own thread! Hey thanks for ALL the responses - it definitely helped. As far as what the "OP originally meant" - again it was in reference to the book I'm reading, many of you...
  2. How do you play a "dark" vs. "brighter" tone?

    Reading up in some theory and am drawing a blank (hard to "read" music!)

    The author shows two measures of exactly the same notes, and under the first measure states "darker tone", and under the...

    Anybody gone to this that would care to share your experience? Can you compare it to other places? How was the instruction? Quality of night-time jams, food, etc.?

    Re: Perplexing harmony question

    Ahhh... ok, thanks very much Jim. Here I thought this was "plug and play". I would map out the harmony on paper think "man, I'm doing something wrong!". So now that my expectations are in check I can...

    Perplexing harmony question

    To harmony experts here. I've often wondered why, let's say when you are picking the tenor harmony a third above melody, that some notes don't fit and that sometimes it's the 4th that does. Example...

    Other software like band in a box

    Howdy,

    In terms of software that rapidly spits out a harmony line if you input the melody line, do you all have other suggestions besides (cheaper) than Band in The Box?

    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Thanks to you both. Marty, novice question here, are abalone shells used for inlays? Where on a tenor banjo, the fingerboard?

  17. Re: Suddenly developed hard hands half way through a gig

    Yep, same song, same dance. In-ear monitors will solve, puts you back in control, especially if one of your ear buds is dedicated to your instrument. A pain to deal with but worth the effort.
  18. Re: Suddenly developed hard hands half way through a gig

    I think you nailed it. For me, in a monitoring problem I play loud and hard and that definitely will cause problems. I'm convinced others hear a mandolin better than the mandolinist himself.

    One way that I do it is with Ctrl-R - and then specify the measures to repeat by clicking the arrow which moves it over to the playlist. Then highlight the one you created and click play.

  24. Re: Comment on ANKI - learning aide, suitability in maintenance p

    That’s why I’ve got to be done with this thread. Who said I wasn’t successful with the tool, Jon? Never mind, don’t bother. I think I understand you, now.
  25. Re: Comment on ANKI - learning aide, suitability in maintenance p

    I never said that. I gave ONE example of practice. This is why you jumped the gun and mischaracterized everything.
