Good Morning
Just wanted to give a shout out to the mandolincafe app-just the chord finder alone-is awesome-no looking thru pages of a book I was trying to learn the positions on diminished and...
Thanks-Hope I'm not too late,posting
In learning my chords-I started listening to songs -Imagine Dragons and figuring out the chords based on what I heard and sometimes,not always figuring out all of the chords-Demons from Imagine...
I was replying to Paul's post,Steve- and it just echoes that I have no business around bluegrass
Bluegrass is a highly technical music, and not everyone--and certainly not every beginner--has the...
Well,being since the area I am in,is very close to Owensboro,KY-which is bluegrass-hardcore-there are alot of bluegrass groups in this area-alot of them church based-nothing wrong with that-or it is...
Too funny!!! Well I am a believer in public service-or maybe I could become comic relief
I will check in my area for jams I can go to-It doesn't have to be bluegrass,does it? Can't I just start off small-and just listen? Yep, you are right-I am skeered-What is it about not wanting to ask...
Well maybe that is my problem-Wolfman Bob-I am not playing with anybody-once a week lessons with my teacher and practicing by myself-It is hard to find people to play or jam with-most people don't...
I have been taking lessons for a little over a year, and what I have seen in bluegrass music-is almost everything is fast-Altho' it is amazing at how fast people can play-It is intimidating and I...

Hello to everyone
In addition to learning scales,chords,and in general,being somewhat successful in hitting all my notes- My teacher wanted me to focus on a song-and play the melody...
I ran across this thread-I thought it was just me-I have noticed when I am practicing scales,chords,or a new song-I catch myself not breathing-didn't think that much about it-but it is what some...
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
I am laying the guilt on myself-me,myself and I
You are always your own worst critic
I think I sound pretty good on a little simple song -and then I play it...
Just wanted everyone to know-that after being on this site and realizing all the things I don't know-this will be a lifelong quest to always know more
Been taking lessons for 5 months-and working...
The Kay bridge was glued-he got the glue off-not knowing how much I wanted to spend-long story short-as has been stated about the Kays-new strings-lowered the bridge-it is easier-but there is an...
I appreciate everyone's input-but I guess I didn't realize how many different price points and different styles of mandolins,there were-Wow It kinda boggles the mind
I realize my Kay is a very...
I couldn't agree more-I have looked at the Kentucky brand mandolin-now that I know that I struggled and also knowing that I can play better helps me-I need to educate myself-with the help of this...
I definitely want to buy a better mandolin-My Dad,who is 80-probably wouldn't understand-but I've already been to the nearest Guitar Center and the mandolins I saw-well it gives me something to shoot...
