I've been teaching online lessons for several years. Back before webcams, I would record a lesson for a student and mail them a cassette. They would record their progress and mail it back. I had...

First of all, the Epiphones and Morgan Monroes are made in the same factory in China. It's a Korean-owned/managed company and the quality is very high (I've been there several times on business). ...

Wow so many. I don't have a favorite.

Currently, I am enjoying "Ayil, Ayil" with Theodore Bikel and Geulah Gill

well, Yo Yo Ma's background is classical. Stuart Duncan was educated in the classical method, but has performed mainly bluegrass these last 30 years or so...Edgar Meyer of course had done a variety...

Please use the classified for commerce per the posting guidelines.

This economy is really sucking the life out of local businesses.

Having said that, I've heard from suppliers that they are not interested in working with companies that sell online unless they...

I thought these were made in the US? Wondered how they could be made so cheaply. It was my original guess that they were constructed "in the white" in China and finished here in the US, as many...

One time when my brother and I were trying out some mandolins in Carmel Music Co l (he was playing a Martin Bass Guitar and I was playing a mandolin), David Grisman walked by and into the back room. ...

I wasn't able to find out much about Greco, but I learned a lot from this link:...

Many Cape Breton tunes are...

Thanks everyone for the advice and recommendations! I will tell my student the Eastman 305.

Good idea...we're heading up to Greyfox next month. Do you think they'll have a table there?

I refuse to buy from ebay / paypal. There's gotta be a better way. I'm also sick of Craigslist. People call you up and say they're coming to get whatever it is, but never show. It's a crapshoot.

Restaurants USED to hire bluegrass bands around where I live, but no longer. Now if you want to hear bluegrass, you have to head East (towards Boston) or wait for Podunk and Greyfox.

Having said...

I'll be there with some of my students. My friend Match Atkinson will be there also.

I have basically 3 picks

1. Grain 2mm - for bluegrass gigs and loud jam sessions with a lot of guitars
2. Jim Dunlop 1.5mm - my favorite pick for most everything
3. Dava "tractor" - for...

Get used to the 1,2,3,4 finger pattern more easily by practicing scales. Do a different set around the circle of fifths each day starting at the top with C,G,D,A,E,B,F#, etc

Arpeggios are also...

which classifieds? most things you buy used are "buyer beware"...always better to buy from a store so you can return it if you find a flaw such as this one.

Some excellent points in this thread. The way young people hear music now is so vastly different than the way we did in the 60s and 70s, even the 80s and 90s. You now listen to a bunch of stuff in...

Who's got the best prices online for the Eastman 305?

Jam sessions, outdoor festivals, local radio shows and cable tv shows, farmer's markets and schools, libraries and nursing homes - these are all places where normal people are that get a kick out of...
