I am just stunned at the artistic skill on this CD. Taylor and Danny are out in that orbit that not many get to travel in. I mean I have heard a lot of mandolin in the last 5 or 10 years and this way...
I heard a mandolin player named Taylor Baker play this on a CD and am now looking for the music. Has anyone else heard of this song? or even better have the music or a youtube? Thx. in advance.

All,
I am looking for the "mandolin" chords for Georgia On My Mind. I think the original tune is in F. I know the chords for the song that's easy enough to get online but playing them as written...
What a question! All the advice here is so good. My two cents to be added to all this, you have to intuitively know your fingerboard. When your brain wants to raise the pitch of a note you have to...
Hey All,
I am looking for some simple device or piece of software that will let me loop some stock set of rhythm patterns. I basically want something like a very cool metronome that is TOTALLY...
Ok I still don't have answer to this and either I am just too out of the loop or something strange is going on. What happened to Joe Craven and Enrique Coria. It was a couple of years ago that I went...
I have seen so many Mandolin method DVD's where artists teach scales and songs but none speak to the player in term of practice. More specifically how much. Could you talk to Sam about doing a...
I wish I lived near this guy. You know the trouble I have found over the years with luthiers is that most I have meet don't want to share much of what they know. I don't think it is because they want...
Sorry, guess I didn't look hard enough. I found it.
All,
Does anyone know of TAB for Sam Bush's break for Whitewater on Bela Fleck's Drive CD?
thx in advance
I have been doing exactly what you are doing for 8 months or more. Dedicating myself to Ted's FFcP scales, just the four stock patterns, has improved my playing more that I can say. If you don't stop...
I have had left hand wrist and finger tendon problems that had stopped me from playing at one point. It scared the #### out of me because I had read something about bad habits/ poor technique and all...

Would you please describe your most effective 15 minute exercise? Is it right hand technique, scales, arpeggios, circle of fifths. What is the one golden exercise that has given you the most bang for...
Mike,
Please give me your single most effective practice exercise currently in your line-up.
I practice in 15min segments focusing on
15m right hand cross-picking patterns (constantly...
I was listening to the Chris Thile / David Grier concert that was recorded at the Prism in Charlottesville, Virginia again this morning. For some reason I just want to yell to someone, "WOW! Is there...
Good God!
I am so sorry for you my brother. I can't begin to imagine how much you feel this loss. I wish there were some way I could help more that just keeping my eye out. I will keep my eye out...
Dude, this is exactly what I have been doing now for about six/eight months, 2 hours minimum morning practice maybe another hour during the day on really hard songs. Honestly I don't remember when it...
I have heard about the IBMA all my musical life. Most every person I have talked to seemed to always have to coolest story about who they say or got to meet or even jam with in some hotel room. The...
Well, all of these responses have really made me realize just how valuable this community is. Thank you to everyone who replied here. When I think of what I would have had to do to get this kind of...
