erratta- Angel Delight (rather) not Full House

I was turned on to Fairport in mid 69, (through, of all places, the Columbia Record Club- remember them?) and acquired an English import of their Unhalfbricking LP a bit after I got their first US...

I haven't bothered with a setup for it though I know it probably would help. But my Rogue is actually louder than my Ibanez electric (when not plugged in) and taking off the pickguard added even more...

Practice until you get bored. Then try again the next day.

I don't mind them but for the most part I like a big thick triangle with sharp ends that won't slip or nudge away while I'm playing. Guitar picks are, generally, a tad too small, although they will...

I have a choice between 2- the EP-1, which has a relatively midrange boost, and a Morley AP-10 electric-acoustic preamp, for an Ibanez electric mando. I think the Morley adds a LOT of punchier volume...

I'm gonna stay "a million miles away" in a figure of speech, even though they'll be just down the road in Santa Clara. For one thing I too am very satisfied with my memories, little regrets, and of...

I am playing a Rogue A-100 for a starter mandolin and have my head set on an Ibanez electric for the next step. Now I have seen a lot of funk about Ibanez mandos not being the greatest, however I own...

Happy Birthday David! While we had not the pleasure of meeting & rapping, our paths did cross occasionally out at Dead nights at Nickie's on Haight St. I have come to appreciate the mandolin much...

I stuck those little colored Avery dots on the neck's side on mine 'pour le moment' to do just that.
Careful, though, those ones are probably some of the most expensive types of labels they make,...

From the sublime to the ridiculous...

Not to mention, justifying to Mission Control the extra weight necessary to carry string winders, wire clippers, as well as the extra sets...

I have read that they (Radio Shack) are going to continue with many (not all - maybe half) of their stores and discontinue the cellphone/smartphones & contracts stuff. And they still DO have a great...

No I don't collect them. I am lucky if I have even three sitting around to spare!

Well I did try it between the A and E and you know what? I like it much better between D and A. MUCH less pick clatter and it sounds like there's "more breath" to it. I think that's gonna be the...

I have set it "just yay behind the bridge" as suggested. One problem however, and this wasn't the case when I had it placed inside the f hole, is that there, it transmits a great deal of "pick...

OK... I have been playing mandolin a month or so now and am actually working from a bare bones budget, [which is why I have begun with a Rogue A-100] and have acquired a super cheap disc-style piezo...

I confess- yes, I do this, Frequently most often while looking for a lyric page or something else (like headphones) while I'm sitting with the mando/guitar or leaning over after something while...

Hmm. My own approach will probably listen to a lot of it (mostly that which I am already aware of) and just attack it with my own style and not consciously attempt to imitate anyone's particular...

David Grisman + Richard Thompson

You all know what makes it "country" don't you? Pssst! It's the hats.

I am just learning mandolin myself and feel that keeping the chops up on both as you go is probably best. A bit of both each day. The first week I had the mandolin (out of excitement)I played nearly...

They must have been D'Addarios then since they were bronze not silver. I did not think they sounded dry- I usually play D' Addarios with a wound G on my electric 6-string, so these may be just what I...

Hi there, I'm new here and new to the mandolin (tho not music) and am transitioning from being a 6 string guitarist (primarily) to the mandolin. I do hope to add it to my gifts in performance...

I am pretty sure that the same gremlins who steal socks from the laundry are the same ones responsible for missing picks.
