You folks are awesome. Great advice. We don't have a teacher yet to help with this part. I thought of getting the violin first. And Mommythrice, you're right, I don't want to try to sell 2...

Thanks for the tips. The interesting thing about renting is that for the price of 12 month of renting I could own this cheapie. And I suppose it would be around $120 per year until she reaches a...

Hi folks. I'm hoping someone can help me out here. When I was starting out on mandolin I didn't realize just how poor my first, and very cheap, mando was. When I finally played a higher quality...

Listening to some of the audio clips right now - Real nice, Ben. I like it.

You'll start to see that this place can be used to find tricks to getting over a hump in your learning. It's also used by some as more of a social club. If you want to use it for it's...

Right on Bertram. It amazes me how something that I struggled with just seems to happen, almost ealisy, without even thinking about it. This often happens when I switch gears and try to learn...

Wow Ed! 2000 posts in less than a year. Does anyone know if that's a record?

My Webber has big frets and it was one of the reasons I was drawn to it.

Martin,

I can't wait to be able to do that kind of injustice to my mandolin some day too. Loved it!

Hey Tom, welcome to the Cafe.

Many folks here would tell you to try out as many mandolins as you can and pick the one that feels right. I encourage you to do that as well. In my quest to...

I got to see about a dozen shows in the early 90s. Then I was introduced to Dawg through his work with Jerry. I would never listen to music the same way again. That duo is the reason I play.
...

- Oh, you said SHEET music? I so sorry. -

Hope you're having a great day, Ted. Enjoy your new toy. Happy Birthday!

Some may like it, others not so much. But I do think that when you're selling something on e-bay you should try to keep your bra and the commode out of the picture unless, of coures, you're selling...

Hey Rich

I had a very similar experience just over a year ago. I was at a festival and picked up a Bitterroot. I had never held a mando that felt so comfortable to me. I don't know what it was...

The baffled king composing Hallelujah?

Great John, that's what I wanted to hear! And it is indeed Cubase. Powerful and easy. Sounds like just what I'm lookin' for :)

Thanks everyone. I checked out the Zoom h4 - Looks like it may be everything I need - 24-bit wav or mp3 and it comes with multi tracking software so I wouldn't even need garageband. Neat little...

But what a tease it was to see Sam for such a short bit - Thrilling nontheless!

I believe the Tascam does have a USB and should let me drop the mp3s into GB, as Laurie stated. Thanks for the audio advice - I have much to learn and I'll look into the ZOOM too.

Thank you both...

Need some help.

I'm looking to record multiple tracks and I'll probably try Garageband as I've heard it's easy and does a decent job. I'm wondering if GB takes mp3s straight in or do I have to...

Wow. What a nice story, beautiful piece of work and great sounding video clip. Great work, Joe. And nice playing Walt - Enjoy that baby!

Since the start of the Mike Marshall Odeon thread it's been that one. I fell in love with it on his instuctional DVD and now that I've been playing the youtube version it's lodged between the ears. ...

That was great, John. That Julian knows a thing or two, doesn't he - brilliant indeed. Well done.

I really liked that. Sure, real instrumentation would be more authentic but it sounded fine. Very nice mando work. And yes, you should do more.

There is no emoticon that describes my open, drooling-mouthed desire for this absolutely gorgeous creation. Beautiful work, Walt. Absolutely stunning.
