    Re: Posting Tablature Files?

    The other thing to do is see if your printer has a "PDF" or "Save to PDF" button. My HP printer does a fine job of turning everything I have into a pdf file.

  10. Re: Why no "A" note in the 4 finger D chop chord?

    Plus, you have all the other instruments playing the a note so we mando players don't have to. (And we have the smallest instrument so we can skimp on a note or two :grin:).

    Re: R.I.P. Mike Auldridge

    What a pleasure it has been over the years to hear him play and sing. I believe he was the first Dobro player to free himself from the tyranny of playing in positions. A game changer for sure.
