Peghead Nation, Mandolins Heal the World, and ArtistWorks all offer pre-recorded lesson series.
I just ended up buying some Dawg picks from the last time the sampler was through my hands in July or August (I am slow sometimes).
So if companies want to donate, this can be a good way to get...
Just to add a little more, for those who are not familiar...The Caverns is the longtime home of Bluegrass Underground tapings for PBS for the show of the same name, which has now been renamed "The...
Cavefest is a worthwhile trip to the Caverns in Pelham, TN just outside of Nashville. My wife and I have been both years they have had it and will be going back. Good lineups, good venue, lots of...
I am not a good singer, but I keep reminding myself that voice in an instrument and it can be trained and improved.
Some of the ear training apps have voice modes. I have found that helpful.
I started on the equivalent Washburn A model, but like the previous poster, I would not recommend it. They were not great.
An Eastman or The Loar would be better.
I haven't wondered over to Waynesboro music, but I have seen that they are occasionally hosting jams over there. Can you say much about the range of inventory they had for mandolins? And other...
Transcribe will attempt to identify notes. I haven't used it extensively, but it seems to me not all that accurate, although workable if you knew the chords.
I'm on the other end of these things as far as music goes (as a learner, not an organizer), but I've led any number of workshops and trainings on a variety of other topics. My advice is to focus on...
My introduction to bluegrass was through Garcia and Grisman and is still heavily weighted towards jamgrass instead of more classic bluegrass. So, yes, he is well known but I didn't know him. My...
Sue,
I'm not sure if you are still there or if you get down this way often, or how far you are travelling, but with more notice I could have gotten some more info together. I'm in Charlottesville...
Mark,
Are there any toneslabs in the Pick Samplers? Hasn't been that long, but i can't remember.
I have tried that and was unable to get it in a workable condition on my laptop. I have stuck to using it on the phone, when I use it which is rarely.
Waiting for my chance to see them here on the East Coast. They made a one-show stop in Richmond a month or two ago when they were out for a festival (Merlefest I think), but unfortunately I had...
I put some suggestions on the first page, but adding a couple here:
Mountain Grass Unit: a very young trio, played mostly covers but had a couple of originals. I had hear OF them before, but...
Brownwyn Keith Hynes is a fantastic fiddle player. I was not really familiar with her until she started playing with Molly.
She did a few shows with Jason Carter this spring and I think there are...
I am in possession of pick sampler #2 and will hang onto it for a couple of week before sending it on its way. Hope I have enough time to try them all. MarkB98 is up next...
So, my "method" for practicing these songs with an eye towards learning about the Pentatonic Scale would go something like this:
1. play the pentatonic in the appropriate key a bunch of times. ...
Not sure if this is what you are looking for specifically, but you could google songs that exclusively use the Pentatonic scale for the melody. Tons of Eric Clapton if you are into the blues. ...
Some smaller, newer, or regional bluegrass bands that I have been listening to a fair bit recently. These definitely lean into the Newgrass mode:
Fireside Collective
Sicard Hollow
Into the Fog...
Ticketmaster has such a stranglehold because they are not just a ticketing company. They also own venues. Other venues they manage, either completely or for some subsection of events. They also...
Resurrecting this old thread to note a couple items:
Hawktail did release a new record and they are now touring--they are opening for Nickel Creek in my town in May.
Molly Tuttle and Golden...
There is a guy who has brought an autoharp to the local OT jam.
Occasionally I've seen a fellow with an accordian around at some of the community events, but I don't think he's ever been at any of...
I've got my tickets for when they hit my city in March. I'm sure we won't get a Dawg sit-in.
I'm also curious as to the other band members are. When I read the blurb on the venue site, it sounds...
I play my electric for a more rock oriented sound. Not that I don't also play acoustic to those songs. But it is just a different sound. I am still figuring out a bunch with it, but at some point I...
