I'm about two months and MANY gigs & practice session into my current set of XS's and they still sound sound great. If the A and E feel a little weak to you, you might want to try the custom medium...

For me, something about how the Amazing Slow Downer processes audio makes its slowed-down output much easier on the ears than YouTube's approach. I find it a lot easier to pick out pitches and...
Glad you enjoyed it! I promise there's no rocket science happening - I'm always happy to set up an online lesson to break it down for anyone who is interested.
Just got back from a trip to find Sampler #1 in the mailbox. Looking forward to spending a few weeks experimenting before sending it along to the next person on the list.
Thanks, Mark! Glad you enjoyed it.
Aw heck, thanks so much for all the nice feedback!

I thought folks on this board might be interested in this video I made of the classic western swing fiddle tune Red Wing. I like exercises that force you to be creative within specific parameters - I...
I've been really enjoying working through Tristan Scroggins and George Jackson's Old Time 100 project - recordings and videos of 100 old-time tunes that are frequently called in jams, based on input...
This seems like a great place to mention Tom's absolute classic 1998 album "Jubilee." It's not on the streaming platforms but was was hugely influential for myself and many of the best musicians I...
This is one of the all-time great tunes in ANY genre and it's cool to hear all these interpretations. Here's my band rehearsing the tune for our show a couple months back at the Freight & Salvage...
Sounds great, Jake! Very cool (and daunting) project. While we're on the topic, those of you without munchkins may have missed this album from 2007 which has some absolute gems from Ronnie all over...
Not old-time, but check out Scroggins & Rose.
Thanks, all, for the kind words about my video. I'll try to keep 'em coming!
Yep, I'm very lucky to have one of Mike Kemnitzer's fantastic instruments. Thanks for the kind words. It definitely took some warming up and a few tries to be able to play that solo relatively...
Hey all, I learned John Reischman's ripping solo from "Nesser" off Up in the Woods and made a little video. Hope you enjoy.

Heads up, California choro-heads, the legendary Brazilian seven-string guitarist Rogerio Souza will be at the Freight and Salvage on October 12, along with fantastic mandolinist Tiago Souza (son of...
Does anyone know how to get more of the tape that comes with the K&K twin pickup? Mine came loose and I need to re-tape it. Is it a generic tape that I could find elsewhere or is it something special...
Yeah, the Travelite has been on backorder for at least 18 months on every online retailer I can find (Amazon, Elderly, etc). The sites will show an expected availability date a few months into the...
Looking for a lightweight but protective mandolin case with backpack straps - something like the Travelite or TKL Zero Gravity, both of which seem to be out of production. Any advice? Not interested...
It seems like Travelite doesn't make an A-style case, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience using an F-style Travelite for an A-style mando? Would the mando be snug & well protected, or is there...
Giving this a bump. Anyone know how to find a copy of this recording?
Here's Joao Batista's website - seems live to me: http://www.jbinstrumentos.com.br/jb/

Blog do Choro, a Brazilian blog, just posted an hour-long video of the Grupo Chapeu de Palha, a well-known samba and choro group from the choro revival of the '70s, I believe.
The video is...
