Going to see Dawg at Suwannee Springfest this weekend. Great lineup this year. Jesse McReynolds, McCoury Brother, Steep Canyon Rangers, Larry Keel, Greensky Bluegrass etc.
We've probably all recorded ourself at one time or another. But I think recording your practice sessions every now and then is a great way to gauge your improvement, and work out trouble spots that...
As far as the long neck/short being a significant distinction; anyone who's played a prewar Martin 12 fret vs. 14 fret guitar will tell you they are different animals. Not saying one is better than...
Ken builds guitars. Peter Rowan plays one and has visited Ken's shop. I believe Weber is all he's selling at this time. Ken is also usually at Magnolia Festival in October and Rivehawk early...
Great CD. Fred Carpenter is the second fiddle player.
Journey, that's a great story. Thanks. I saw Jimi in Honolulu, October of 68 at the HIC. My first rock concert, and still the best. Afterwards he showed up at an outdoor venue and jammed all night.
I don't have the new (DVD) one but all the previous ones. Sam is great. But his technique may not be the "proper" technique for you. I think he'd tell you to experiment and try different approaches....
Got it. Thanks for the heads up Art. I first saw Josh At Magfest. I think he was 13. I bought my first mandolin shortly after that and took a lesson with him a few years later. He's evolved into an...
That's a beauty Skip. #12 is going on five years old. Opened up, woody, and LOUD.
You want to look up the Central Florida Bluegrass Association. Very active in that area with some great players. Sorry I can't provide a link but they are on Facebook. Get together once a month.
Beautiful job Skip! What number is this one? I still get compliments all the time on #12.
Huss and Dalton is probably the best value for a high quality dread out there right now. I have a TDR with Adirondack top and Brazillian back that is amazing.
I spoke with Tim this past summer at the MACC festival in Ohio. At that point they were looking for someone to do the forward. He said they had hoped for Allison but she couldn't do it. Didn't say...
The version I'm listening to is on Tim O'Brien's cd "The Crossing". Talk about a workout. Crooked rhythm I believe they call it. David Grier is insane on this.
I just looked up the archive and you have one within six numbers of my serial number, with the same slanted script. I'll try to e-mail some pics tomorrow. Mine appears to be all original as far as...
It's an A-1. I got it from the classifieds here at the cafe from a gentleman in Napa Valley. I'll try to get pics over to Dan and some history from the owner. It's all original as far as I can tell....
Hey Dan, I've got a '24 serial number 77161. The script on mine is at a slant on the peghead where yours is pretty even. Otherwise they appear identical. I love the sound of mine. Plays real nice as...
Mike's book of "Improvisational Concepts" will give you plenty of scales, arppegios, licks, etc. Not a DVD but would make a great advanced DVD. If Mike chose to do it. (Hint to Mike)
I think fingering is an individuals decision; assuming you've got a lot of musical training/experience under your belt. I've played some Bach pieces for years only to keep discovering different...
What do you play for your own enjoyment?
These (all 6 volumes) are all great CDs by the best players in BG but this one is all instrumental. Tony Rice, Bobby Hicks, Vasser, Todd Phillips, J.D. Crowe, Jerry Douglas and Doyle Lawson playing...
Nice job Patrick.
Anyone messed around with this? I saw Joe Craven recently using one and it was pretty amazing. Then again, so is Joe.
The festival was great this year. Weather was perfect(that doesn't happen very often.) Got to chat with Peter Rowan about prewar Martin guitars before he played with the McCourys. Monroe heaven and...
