I hear you, Beck. I don't plan on parting with this no matter what. It's just too cool. But I don't want to give up on it yet, either. I'll seek out some expertise if I can.

I should also...

@ Jeff--Thanks for the reply!

@ Jamie--Thank you. Sorry for the double post.

Thank you Allen! Sorry about the double post--my bad. The strings are off, and I have the bridge safe. I had slipped a piece of paper into the crack just for the picture, but I won't try to fill...

Thank you for the good information, Martin. I knew it was a risk, and I'm not looking to turn it around for a profit at all, but I sure would like to play it. I should have paid more attention to...

I posted this in the General Discussions area but also wanted to post it here seeking expertise and guidance:

So we were at a flea market today, and I saw a lovely bowlback, bargained, and bought...

Hi Kip,

I slipped a piece of paper into the crack to show it up better. It goes about half an inch deep but is very narrow. There is cloth inside the bowl. I have not found any labels, names,...

So we were at a flea market today, and I saw a lovely bowlback, bargained, and bought it. :grin: Now I do understand that it may end up being a paperweight :crying: but I am hoping that with some...

@Couchpicker -- Would you recommend those same stretches for shoulder inflammation issues?

Karen

Hey Journeybear,
It sounds as if you have a wonderful gift, and I am wondering if your "musical high" would be extended if you found some additional ways during the week to share your music. ...

As always, Don Julin's instruction is spot on. Thanks, Don, for a helpful little lesson that will benefit us "Newbies!"

Karen

Wow, Ed! Those videos make me want to plug in. Maybe some day.

Bruce, I downloaded and printed out the workshop, and it looks like a wealth of good instruction. As as beginner, I am somewhat in "information overload" and have not worked through the chords yet,...

DC, I'm praying for Martin. Please keep us updated.

Wow, this is a treasure trove! Thanks for sharing it, Bob.

This is a good thread with many helpful comments. Like Brent, I've bookmarked it for continuing reference. Great video, Don.

Thank you for the good suggestions, everyone. I guess I should have said that the Newbies group is looking for songs we can learn online together, so we need online tabs or tabs/notations. There...

Hello everyone,

The Newbies Social Group is looking for some easy to learn common Christmas songs.
Song suggestions with links to tab or tab/notation would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Karen

Simen, your songs are hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing the link--good web site. I'll be trying to learn some of these.

Karen

Thank you, everyone, for the excellent suggestions--for songs, for song sites (very helpful), and for learning techniques. I think we are off and running! :mandosmiley:

Hello everyone,

In the Newbies Social Group we are trying to find some easy songs for us to learn together (kind of a "Junior Song of the Week Club"). ;)

We are looking at Greensleeves as a...

I agree with you, Gelsenbury, and I have started a Greensleeves thread in the Newbies forum. See you and Ed over there!

Ed, that is a very sweet version of Greensleeves. I did find myself wishing for more chords and harmony here and there. I have been working on the one in Greg Horne's "Beginning Mandolin" book. It...

Prayers going up, George. Thank you for sharing the lessons of friendship, music, and coping.

Jon, I am indeed looking forward to the next reunion, which we are planning to have next April in Savannah (some of our ancestors came there to the Georgia colony from Austria). Music is in the...

Gelsenbury, what age/type students do you teach? Since I see that you live in the U.K., "Greensleeves" (aka "What Child Is This?") might be a good one to learn. I'm working on that as a solo...
