Thanks you guys. That was fun and inspiring!
Cool to hear someone cover "Cold Duck Time."
Victor has a whole DVD on "groove." The Groove Workshop is a "must see" imo.

I've noticed a similar something among the players I really admire, even when they're just demonstrating a riff, they'll play at a "performance" level of intensity. IOW, they'll "pick it like they...

Very cool, Tim. What a great experience that must've been.
I was using MK 012s, but I picked up a used AT 4041 (SDC) that's become my fav for playing out. To my ear it's got a fatter midrange with less high-end ringiness than the Oktavas. It's a nice mic...
That's a nice brace of mandolins! I'd like to see more of those in the states.
I put an Eastman tailpiece on my Moon. It's a great little mandolin.

I don't think the metronome is useful for everyday practice, but for using one in a pinch I count the beat when the Heart LED is off. I find the LED's glow less definite than it's absence. Again, I...

In the end, it's how it sounds. So make it sound good from the start.
Both of these were landmark columns in my own mandolin journey. And they're still worth re-reading today.
Thanks, Ted! ...

Your sig says it all. There's more than a MiNO there.

"Pre-screenings of the Monroe biopic have been meeting with mixed reviews."
These are good.

A while ago I did download the ASD demo to compare it to BestPractice. To my ears the ASD had a lot cleaner sound slowed down, but I still stuck with BP. Mostly b/c it was free, but I was already...
Sometimes I'll push a new set of strings too hard just to get the jangles out of 'em.
I do think that the best my Eastman ever sounded was the day after a night spent jamming unamped with a...

I've got an Eastman that really shines with Nanowebs. But other than that 615, I haven't any luck trying them on my other mandolins.
I've got a Twin installed on my Moon Standard and a Baggs on my Mowry. Out of curiosity I put the Baggs on the Moon and A/B-ed them both through my Loudbox. The K&K sounds far and away more full...
My wife did a cello neck graft and fingerboard for Buell just last month. Said Buell was one of the most charming conversationalists she'd ever had opportunity to converse with. I think she said...
That was fun. Thanks Verne!
Violin fingerings are almost never played the way it would occur to me to play a section. So I follow them pretty strictly mostly just to learn something new. Once I've got a piece dialed-in I'll...
