Am I missing something? I dont see a link.

One more vote for this band. I was at the Berkeley concert and could and would have written exactly what Paul said, but he beat me too it. By the the way Paul is a great player himself.

JJM makes a lot of good suggestions.
It's of course to learn the instrumentals, but I strongly believe that to get the essence of the Monroe style you should learn his breaks to songs. Tha's...

It's Gerry by the way.

I had a Gibson A-3 with a caved in top that Jim Hiatt at the 5th String in Berkeley Ca., replaced with a cedar top from a 300 year old barn. It sounds great and plenty loud when you want .

Great idea. Thank you. I never thought of this or had anybody suggest it, in all my years of playing....

9 8 10 10 is another nice one without the root. Bass or guitar should cover it. Another good thing about this position is that is also be a Em7b5 (root in bass), or, Gm6 (m6 in bass).

A banjo can play it in G or Bb or B or C or C# with the capo on the 6th fret. But,A is the best key to play it on the mandolin and fiddle. The open A and E strings give it a full sound and emphasizes...
