I use mostly Golden Gates , Wegen, Dawg and ultex just depends on my mood or what is on top in the skoal can , that I store my picks in.

I own one of the older "baby Strats" works fine for me . My only complaint is the neck is too narrow . Keep in mind it is an asian mando and will not give you the qualities found in an A9.

Some of my favorites are " Come and Dine " , " Jordan's Stormy Banks " and " Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet ".

In the tradition of all bluegrassers I use empty skoal cans .

Haven't been able to check in lately . The reason for the refret job is frets 1 - 7 have deep grooves that in my opinion will not dress out and the frets to my fingers feel higher from 8 - 12 . I...

I am a retiree so time is not a problem . The mandolin has a flat finger board so bending the frets is not required . Probably will tackle the job anyway I have had the mando for about 10 years and...

My old mando is in need of new frets . Been thinking of doing it myself. What tools are needed and will I need a new finger board if i replace them with banjo fret wire ?
thanks

toss up between a Taggert F-5 or the Kimball A style .

What's so bad about Behringer ? I have owned their 45 watt acoustic model for three years and it works fine . I only use it when playing at jam sessions where everyone is plugged in . Haven't any...

I have an old fender "baby strat " mandolin that needs to have the nut replaced or lowered . What problems can expect ? How best to avoid them ?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated .

I must be crazy I get by using my golden gate pick on guitar as well as on my mando . I seem too lose the thin guitar picks rather easily . After all there waas atime when all picks were rounded .

I have seen some tabs that try to incorporate treble and made an unintelligible mess . I`ll stick with treble and continue with improving my ear training . After all it is mostly patterns .

Why mess with success .

I am having big problems with hymns on Sunday in e flat . Which position should I use first or second ? At home I transpose to f major or d major not afforded this luxury at church .

Remember the words of Kenneth "Jethro" Burns , No one ever remembers the mandolin player after the show . So why sweat it .
