Thanks for the link, unforunately, i don't read music but my dad does so I should have that covered. I'm not sure if they want the recessional piece or not, but it wouldn't hurt to know it just in...

I'm in serious need of some help. I've been asked to play for a wedding next month and they want the Wedding March or whatever it's called when the bride walks in played on the mandolin. I have no...

I am trying to figure out the mandolin solo to this song and have part of it down halfway right, but was hoping some of you could help me out. I'll forewarn you, I don't know jack about theory,...

Ok, thanks.

I'm almost embarassed to ask this because I know it's a dumb question, but here goes...I used to use non-coated strings and had a couple of those GHS string cleaning cloths that were treated with...

tnbluegrasser, are you familiar with the Cumberland Plateau area? I live in Cookeville, TN and there's a great luthier over in Sparta by the name of Jim Grainger. He runs Custom Fretted Instruments...

Carolina In The Pines by DL&Q and One Tin Soldier by The Bluegrass Alliance

Definitely, no question about it.

Sorry to be so late, Flatpick, but here's those pics from the 4th-

I just saw D&V tonight and Jeff was playing what I believe to be a Weber Fern, it did not have bound f-holes, but had the fern inlay. I can post pics later if anybody wants to see...

I'll be going to a free Dailey & Vincent concert! And then maybe hit the Smithville Fiddler's Jamboree on the 5th. WOOHOO!

I was just checking prices on First Quality and Elderly's websites to restock on EXP's and found some Black Diamond strings with a black coating. I am a faithful D'Addario user, but am curious about...

I like the Gibson instrument polish. Cleans really good and it don't leave any residue. That and a couple of flannel polishing cloths along with Mr. Myagi's wax on wax off routine will fix you right...

I had the exact same experience as Tillmanator, I used to hate my Dawg picks. I couldn't get any tone out of them and they just felt weird, but now, that's my favorite mando pick out there.

I'll be the odd ball and say exp's all the way. They sound great and last a really long time for me. I play almost every day and they last me for several weeks, sometimes months. I don't like elixirs...

That's not right to do a fellow picker like that. I've been down that road many times before, and yes, as you will see in my signature, I am a Gibson owner. But just because I have a Gibson don't...

I wish you the best and hope it's all you want it to be and more. For whatever reason, there just aint no Alvarez mandolins around here. About every music store in these parts are Alvarez dealers and...

Ooh, purdy!http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Never played one, but I've heard good things about them. Post some pics when you get it!

If you can ind it by them, Jim & Jesse had a good version of it and it was one of Roy Acuff's standards.

I've been thinking about buying a Tortis pick (the ones by Red Bear Trading Co. just to be clear #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ). I've read up on them quite a...

Actually, on almost every DL&Q recording (even their newly released one) that's come out since the Lawson model Gibson was introduced, the liner notes say "Doyle...

How about some different shots of mandos from beginning of construction to the final touches.

The three mando pickers that most influence my playing are Doyle Lawson, Bobby Osborne, & Bill Monroe. Not to say I can play like them, but I sure as heck try...

As far as listening goes,...
