Thanks for the info everyone...I just have to get used to being confused about this one!

I'm kind of confused by these songs of almost the same name.

They seem to be different songs. Goodbye Liza Jane is a great instrumental played here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0eOAugV3QI
Note...

Aaron is fantastic. I'm really glad to hear he is playing in a band with Seth Taylor. And I am glad to hear of Seths success in Mt Heart. I first met him when I worked doing RV repair at Tom Johnsons...

I guess I am somewhere in between regarding jam sessions. One is the free-for-all, the other being a circle...I like both, and somewhere in between too. What I can't stand tho, and will leave as soon...

foldedpath stated " I can think of dozens of mics I'd rather have in front of my mandolin."

Sounds interesting...any specifics on some of these in a similar price range? I am at the point where I...

Joe..what make of digital recorder are you using? I would like to do what you describe for a live gig sometime, instead of putting a recorder in front of a main speaker! I used to use a digital...

Thanks folks for the input. I have one beta57 that I use for my mando, but everyone else has a regular 57. I guess its time to get everyone to upgrade. I also have a beta58 (off ebay), but I think...

With all that moving around I would have a hard time being heard thru my mic! Must be a pretty sensitive condensor mic being used.

I sure like Shure mics, thats all I have. But since I can't hear what the audience hears I don't know which mic to use. For the mandolin, which one gives a more natural sound (the sound I hear from...

I agree...I guess I should have mentioned that. Our guitar player alot of times, since he is the band organizer, will start an instrumental, even when he asks us what we want to play. He does this...

In a jam session you can control the speed if YOU start the song. As far as developing speed, I take Adam Steffeys advice to heart, on how to develop your own break to a song, not from tab. Start...

I bought one of each of these off of ebay awhile ago and never really thought I had a knockoff. That was until my friend brought one of his old beta58s and I ran that into channel 1 and mine into...

Alan...what do you mean by his "rocking right hand"? Are you refering to a certain lick or string picking sequence, like cross-picking? How is it documented in that tab? Thanks!

If I was considering spending that much money on a mandolin, I would not be shopping for a name on the peghead. Meaning I wouldn't spend that kind of money to have one built by a famous builder. The...

I just bought his dvd off ebay. I have seen it for sale at the festivals and finally gave in. The tune Rebecca (I assume the tune was created for his mother?) will be a good one to put on the back...

I've got the same equipment and I am wondering how you mount your XLR preamp to your mic stand..velcro?

I saw Raymond do this also at a live show years and years ago. Don't know how it could be contrived though. How do you break a string on demand? If it was contrived, it seems a bit ridiculous for him...

I make sure I have an hour of undisturbed time to kill, pour a glass of Moscato wine, or crack open a beer, get the mando, put a towel down on the table, take all the strings off and put the new ones...

I just got mine about a week ago, great resource. Thanks for the idea about the binder, that sure will make it easier to lay it down and read from while practicing the mp3 tabs.

Happy Birthday Sam...but I thought David Grisman was the King of Newgrass. Or is David the King of Dawgrass? Jimmy Martin is the King of Bluegrass.

Hi SteveDenver...since I was called in to replace the real guitar player, I was not privy to any details of the gig, or whether there was a contract or not. I don't even know if I was given the real...

Doing the high end country club gigs is a different world for sure. Years ago I got a call to sit in for a bluegrass guitar player who was sick. The gig was at an Oceanside gated community, their...

Thanks BradKlein for that video post, I agree, great recording and very talented guys. I see the capo and I am wondering how that instrument is tuned. Is it tuned, or do people tune them GDAE, then...

How about Velcro?

Still waiting for the aha moment. I like to keep a very difficult tune in the works. Right now Millers Reel is it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W_2Ym8ij4Y It is currently beyond my ability to play...
