  1. Re: Chord melody chat: Aaron Weinstein & David Benedict

    That was a great video and I'd love to learn more about it.

    How does Aaron's book compare to the Peghead Nation course? Is one more suitable for beginners than the other?

    I play both acoustic and electric (Yamaha YEV-104) violin and the strings are the same. I don't notice a difference.

    Re: Anyone use an octave pedal?

    I use The Drop for my octave pedal. I listened to comparisons with the POG and both sound different but I liked both. The Drop was much cheaper.

    Re: Kolbe Mandolin

    Hi, this is too funny. I saw the same mandolin on CL for Venice Florida. I never heard of the maker so I came here and what a story. Still brand new. I'm about 45 min from Venice but I don't...
  6. Re: Favorite Band in a Box realtracks for bluegrass & old time ba

    I have iReal Pro and it's great for when one is not near a computer. But the sounds don't inspire me. Can't beat the price though. :)
  7. Re: Favorite Band in a Box realtracks for bluegrass & old time ba

    I think I'm going to answer my own question. I cleared my search criteria and I got more bluegrass choices. It seems when I put tempo 85 that the bluegrass styles didn't show up because they're...

    Hi,

    I don't have an OM (yet). I've been experimenting on my GDAE tuned baritone uke (19.5" scale length) trying to decide if I want to get an OM or tenor guitar. Or just keep the baritone uke.

    Re: Octave Mandolin Course

    I have my soprano uke in GDAE (with a "low-G") too. Even when the soprano was in uke tuning, I never liked that re-entrant G so I replaced it with a low G.
