I can't believe I forgot to post a birthday wish yesterday. Hope all is well with you. Still miss the Sellersville jams.

(12)000 sounds pretty good. That would give you, low pitch to high, D G A E, (R 4 5 9) so no third. The nomenclature of Dadd4add9 is fine; the arranger obviously wants a D triad with the 4 and the...
The two scale notes you are asking about have different uses and purposes. The flat 3rd is what produces the mournful quality of the blues. It is especially effective when you bend it toward, but not...
C2 on guitar: X30010 or X32030 or X32033
C2 on mandolin: 5030 or 5253 There are others.
The common usage is C2 is not the same as Csus2. The sus omits the third. The 2 or add9 keeps the third. Ex.: C2 = C D E G; Csus2 = C D G
I think the chords are I III (major) vi (minor.) You can clearly hear the C C# D notes on the piano over that section.
10-4 Good Buddy! I still miss jamming with you at Sellersville. Many happy returns!

There really isn't a definitive answer to this question. If you had to pinpoint one chord besides the I, IV and V of any key which shows up the most, I would say the vi. In Bb it is G minor. You...
10-4, Good Buddy. Many happy returns. I still miss jamming with the old crowd in Sellersville.
What exactly is the issue? The E string will not sound at all, or it sounds the wrong pitch? Help us out with a little more information.
A lot of times two instruments will split a solo. Listen to Bill Monroe's version of "Uncle Pen." For the first solo, fiddle did a verse, which was essentially the same as the intro, but the...
Yes, this is what I meant.
C7add4 would include an E note; C7sus4 would not. Since their chord includes the E it is an add4 rather than a sus4.
Hope you have a great day. I still miss jamming with you in Sellersville.
Your chords, in order are: Bm A G F#sus4 Em F#7
Bridge: G D Em F#
Blue Chip's nomenclature is in 1000ths of an inch, whereas most picks are gauged by the millimeter. The TP48 is around 1.22 mm thick, which is pretty much an extra heavy. The 60 is ~ 1.5 mm and the...
The norm is a larger, thicker (stiffer) pick for mandolin. The material contributes as much to the tone as the thickness. My close second is white (has to be white, they sound different from...
To answer your question, Fender 351 heavies are absolutely acceptable for playing mandolin. It was my preferred guitar pick when I first started on mandolin, but as I experienced other picks, I...
In the key of G, I find these shapes work best 98% of the time:
G - 7523
C - 523x
D - 245x
If D is my I chord, I'll use 745x.
I do not like the 4 finger D chop - 2 roots and 2 thirds sounds...
Guitar player for 55 years, mandolin for 15. I didn't have tabs either when I first started, but I would never reject a method or technique which could increase my proficiency at my instrument. All...
CB,
I don't think you are stupid but weren't you asking about fretting only one of the G strings and one of the D strings in your original post? That's what I got out of it.
In case you...
I don't think splitting strings was suggested, but I do believe that the original poster misunderstood someone before (s)he posted the question and thought (s)he was supposed to split strings to play...
I believe your original question is predicated on splitting strings. By this I mean fretting only one of the G strings, for example. This is a special technique that some players use, but it is not...
If you aren't doing so, you should play chop chords rather than a muted strum. Same space isn't so much the problem as the fact that you could get the same effect by whacking a table with a...
