    Another Thile Thread

    Okay, first of all this is a beautifully done song. But my question is about a certain sound Thile gets starting at 0:22. He plays the low notes and sounds like he also does a little flick of the...

    Re: Why do you play?

    I play traditional for several reasons. One being that it's just cool to connect with the mind of someone who lived so long before you. But the bigger reason would be because my family has a strong...

    Re: Pas?

    Props for not losing them, man. My problem goes like this. I find my favorite pick, and carry it around with me everywhere I go because I'm afraid to lose it for several days. Then I lose it. But...

    Thanks guys! haha. Glad y'all dig it. Journey, I checked it out. There was a lot of mixed reactions on youtube which is what I was expecting with this vid too. Some think it's funny others call it...

    Ghetto Grass

    Hey folks. My buddy and I were jamming a bit last night and we came up with this little rendition of Clinch Mountain. We tried to dress and act the part a bit for humor so I figured I'd share it for...

    Re: Michael Kelly Dragonfly Flame question

    I use the cheapest MK, the A-solid model. It was/is my first all solid wood instrument and I do like it, but don't love it. Given my experience with this and the comments I've heard from others, I...

    Re: Rest in peace, John McGann

    A very admirable man and musician. What a shock. I only knew of him via the cafe but it doesn't feel like it.

    Re: what's your favorite hymn?

    "Near the Cross" and "Be Thou My Vision". The latter is my all time fav.
  11. Re: Who gets your mandolin when you are gone?

    I'm a very sentimental fella. So if my mando would have that kind of value to someone after I'm gone then I wouldn't mind them having it. If not, then definitely give it to someone who could use it....

    Re: What brought you to the mandolin?

    Too lazy to learn the guitar.

    But, the mando turned out to be the better fit for me. I can pick it up and go anywhere with it without much trouble. I like being able to play it in the car (not...

    Re: Do you ever get discouraged?

    Totally, the reason I took up the mando was that my friend was a better guitarist than me. I gave it up and looked for something different.

    Now, I have taught myself a good bit of theory and know...
  14. Re: So... What's on your musical Christmas list?

    A couple new songbooks to work through. But, I'm happy to report I did get a pawn shop fiddle for my 20th birthday on the 20th of this month. That'll keep me busy through the winter.

    Interesting technique

    It seems like he's just running his pick across the strings like an articulated strum. But I'm really having trouble copying it. Awesome to watch anyways.

  17. Re: Phoenix Mandolins...which model is most versatile?

    Funny you should say that. An ad in the classifieds just popped up for a Phoenix bluegrass #195. Not sure if that's what you meant, but I figured I'd point it out.

    Great choice. Folkmusician is a great dealer. I got my first mando from them and they took good care of me. And I agree with the other guys. The Loar definitely beats the new Flatirons. And yes,...

  21. Re: What helped you the most when you were just starting out?

    That's really good advice. I wish I learned the fretboard earlier than I did. Tabs without the context of some theory really held me back. I've never had anyone to play with or a teacher, so the cafe...

    I'm too young for MAS. I... I never even had the chance to play a fiddle.

    Another noteworthy symptom of MAS would be trouble sleeping and/or vivid daydreams.
