Thanks Ted! I read your reviews when they first came out. My most hostile environment is playing against the tenor sax which is not bad at all. And yes, I too have played some of those hostile...

Well, I am waiting for an A5 to come, and am pretty excited about it.
Part of my motivation is to get out of bringing a PA to every gig. I play in a trio, where 2/3 of the time I play an old jazz...
Hey Ace,
I teach a few people, and often notice that they have the notion that they need to have chords ring out for the whole duration. On mando, I usually don't hold the chord the whole time,...
Hi lgc,
I teach mandolin, and I work with students to get a good combination of efficient pick attack without too much excess motion, and a relaxed pick. I find students are so tense that they get...
OK,
A new twist. Pairs of strings slightly detune and tend to oscillate in and out of phase, which is what causes the unique chime like sound of both twelve string guitars and mandolins. Nothing...
No financial interest. I heard the Greencards yesterday on Mountain Stage, and really enjoyed them. A fine mix of tunes with a bit of Trad. and a bit of Choro influence and lots of mando and fiddle....
Roger,
I have never heard an internal pickup that I thought sounded very realistic. They will create a mandolin like sound, but nothing like a condenser mic into a PA could do (albeit it at lower...

Couldn't resist.
I noticed that you said "I know Scott has an accountability system. I just don't know what it is."
Scott is diligent about blocking scammers when possible, but to my knowledge there is no formal...

if you have questions about the SSMO, String Song Mandolin Orchestra.
The nice thing about a group is that if you...
Wow, I didn't even know about this thread. I am Jim Davis, the acting music director. Yes, everyone is welcome. We play most of our tunes from written music, but if you want to give it a shot and...
Hey Daniel,
I am glad you enjoyed the Capek for which we have both been a steward, and will look forward to hearing about your new mandolin. I am still a Stiver player and would be likely to buy...
Also, the usual progressions are
I IV V or E, A, B7 chords
I VI IV or E C#min A, B7
or in more jazz like songs
I VI II V I or E C#min F#min B7 E
Hope that helps
On the advise of John McGann, who transcribes for Homespun tapes, and did all of Sam Bush's transcriptions, I got The Amazing Slowdowner. It is pretty simple to use, works on files or CD's and had...
Hi MC,
We met at the first symposium, and when I came to you and DL at that funky college bar in Ithaca. Nice web page, I enjoy reading it (work avoidance you know). Complements to the web master...
Glauber, I certainly notice changes in my mandolins over the seasons. Also, over long periods of time, bridges often need to be moved away from the neck to maintain intonation.
As for violin, they...
I too would suggest Steve Perry at Gianna. I bought the Tennessee fiddle, and even new it compares well with much more expensive instruments. The set up made it so much easier to play than the rental...
I thought I was getting pretty good on mando, now I just realize I am the only mandolin player for hundereds of miles http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Neat. And I have to ask Mr. Mandohack to tell us about his picture with the tornado and him calmly holding a mandolin. Is it true, or brought to us by...
At the end of the day, you only spent $5, and it was returned quickly. If there were no problems like bad nut slots, or tipping bridges, binding tuners, and it just needed intonation and bridge...
I recently started fiddle/violin. In my case I am lucky that there is a local fiddle group that I could start with (Fiddlers of the Genesee in Rochester NY). That gave me about 150 songs to work on...

And whats the difference in a fiddle and a violin?
The violin looks smaller, but really the players head is just bigger.....
Not a definitive answer, but some observations. Rags like Stones Rag or Pig Ankle Rag seem to share the following
-They use repeated phases over each chord change
-The rhythm of the repeated...
Yeah, what Big Joe said. Ironically, I was listening to Danny Roberts as I started this thread and thought "what about Danny, he's new to us, and keeps up with all those guys">

Well, this is in the key of E and E is the I chord, A is the IV chord, and B7 is the V Chord.
Very standard changes for blues, and most pop and rock and roll.
You can play this in the key of E...
