    If you can't get to that F#, it is a severe problem. I would suggest going the other way away from the approved mandolin method and play it more like what is the approved method for the guitar. You...

    It's definitely a mental block. You think you have to play differently to play at the higher speed and one or both of your hands tense up. It's the jump in speed that's bothering you. The usual...

    The Easman tailpiece does not open. You have the right idea about feeding the loop. The spacing between the 'hooks' is small so I advise squeezing the string loops on the fresh strings a bit with a...

    Yep, F-holed mandolins were specifical designed to increase volume compared to similar oval-holed mandolins. One of the trade-offs is a noticeable reduction in sustain.

    Grace notes, indeed. Usually in fiddle tunes they are intented for the violin, but often they can be managed with a hammer-on or pull-off on the mandolin. Picking them separately usually makes them...

    The Fender Heavy is a good place to start, inexpensive and good tone on most mandolins.

    Yep, at full speed you should be hitting both strings. Basically, you just move the pick across the strings rather than trying to pluck them. A flat stroke works better than a swinging stroke....

    I wouldn't put anything heavier than Martin M400s or D'Addario J62s on it. Mediums like J74s are likely to wreck it
