Very nice post..... thanks. Great tips on playing the Am and Em with open E. I've always played these cords fretting the E string.

Wendell

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I appreciate it. Here are the charts to the song if anyone wants them.

I just posted this James Taylor song on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ih2l8CZjnI

I changed the key to D. Hope you like it.

Iris.... I posted this on the forum a while back with the charts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLMc1yjLBA0

That would be interesting to know. Also if amplification could be the difference. I have 5 amps. All are different running direct. I have also used my bass pedal a Digitech BP250. It can...

I got my mandolin back today. The job was done perfectly as near as I can tell. You cannot tell it was refretted. I'm happy. Demitri even plained out some of the relief on the treble string...

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Ed,

Dimitri at Subway Guitars could do the job for $175. I decided to go with him. Thanks for the info.

Wendell

I called Larry. Price of a refret is $350. I was going to replace the thin frets on my Hohner with bigger ones. The big frets on my Michael Kelly has spoiled me. This is too costly though, so...

So far all these guys are a long haul from where I live.

Thanks,
Wendell

Can someone recommend a shop to do a refrett job on my mandolin? I prefer not going to San Francisco. East bay is preferable.

Thanks,
Wendell

Hi,

I recorded this and posted it yesterday. I don't consider myself much of a vocalist, but here it is. I'm playing my Michael Kelley fse running thru a Line6 Spider Jam amp.

I like the fact that no one can tell by looking at my hands if I'm playing something hard or not. It bugs me when I'm playing bass or guitar and a guitar player is watching my hands to see if I'm...

TEE,

You are right. I was thinking retuning when I responded. Just simply playing upside down should work fine. I too have seen excellent guitar players play upside down.

Wendell

Nash,

Welcome to this great forum. I've played guitar for over 40 years and had no problem switching to mando a year and a half ago. If you try this alternate tuning be sure to let us know how...

I was wondering about this myself. Even as a guitar player.... it's cheating!! The listening public doesn't have a clue though so it's up to you. I really hate it when I'm playing bass and the...

I have used Paypal to receive payment from Russia for camera equipment. You will be charged an exchange fee so you may want to check the % and get the buyer to pay it.

This is another inspirational song for me that will make me practice more. I have tried playing some of this by playing along with the CD. It's really nice to see that this song is played so simply...

Is there a fuse on that amp? Check. Sometimes fuses break on drops.

Wendell

Scott,

You can change mine to Wendell Jeong.

thanks,

I shortened the stap last night about 2" to put the mando a little higher on my chest. This seems to help the hand position when I angle the neck upwards a little.

Thanks,

Wendell

I've been using Mp3panda.com for about 4 months now after a friend told me about it. Songs are 5 cents a track. From their legal disclaimer, the site is in Russia and they adhere to copy write...

Boy... I tried this last night with the FFCP from the 2nd fret postion. This is really going to take some work to make these long stretches. I can't believe how weak my pinky is even though I use...

Funny and true. Try googling Major Scales and Minor Scales. You'll get a lot of good information about what these scales are and the theory. Scales are very boring to play, but you need them...
