Sounds like Midnight on the Water to me.
It's hard to describe tonal characteristics through typing but to me the Ellis has a more complex tone, better A and E strings, more sustain and more bass response. Plus with my Ellis, there seems to...
I have Ellis A5 #351 and its one of the best mandolins I've ever played.
You'll have to decide for yourself how much you need a scroll but for my money there's no better mandolin for the price...
Hey Everyone,
I made another beginner video lesson for one of my students who was asking about taking a simple solo you know down the neck and playing it up the neck in "closed" position without...
Here's a video lesson I just completed for one of my students. It's a beginner version of Saint Anne's Reel to help students work on pick direction and arpeggios. I figured I'd throw up the link in...
Just trying to give back some content to a website I've gotten a lot of instruction out of over the years. I'm not suggesting anyone buy anything.
If it's not welcome I won't post any future...
Here's a new mandolin video lesson I just completed.
It's the traditional tune Turkey In The Straw. I wrote this up to help one of my beginning students work on their pick direction. I thought...
the downstrokes have a staccato feeling i think, a shortness that is hard to match with down up strokes. Try it both ways and you can tell it clearly sounds different. They also seem to give some...
glamour and grits.
same ol' river
brilliancy
the lord came unto me
so good.
wouldn't have made any difference to me. It's the SOUND of Monroe's mandolin that I am after, not what it looks like or which company made it. And from what I have heard Monroe sounded like Monroe on...
I like playing this one an octave higher than you did in your video BradW. i think it sounds a little better to my ears and you can get that low F# note without having to retune. Great song....great...
I liked the song, it sounded traditional to me but contemporary at the same time. Sounds like it would be a great connecting song between 2 singing ones. It didn't really sound like the dead to me,...
i think it was vince gill
if you think you'll be comfortable getting used to the left hand I would suggest practicing your right hand maybe a little heavier than someone just starting out from scratch. The right hand in...
joe is a great mandolin player.
everyone should check out his solo cd called saturday night waltz which is also really good. I am not sure where he sells it but I bought it from him when I saw JKS...
as long as they keep bringing new people to bluegrass music they're alright with me.
i haven't struggled with this issue personally but I would say it might be something to keep working on. It will limit your ability to execute a tremolo I think. A lot of music is goign to have the...
hey good to know theres other mandolin pickers in minnesota. no monroe freaks though, except lonely old me.
for some reason thile's name always comes up in these types of threads but I wouldn't be to quick to assume that this is the only way Chris can play. (Talking about the reference to Jackson video) I...
i think mandozine has a copy of that.
i love josh's solo on luke but i love how relaxed frank's playing seems, it doesn't really even seem like the chord changes are affecting him his melodies are so powerful the just go beyond the...
save your money, buy a couple monroe cd's and the amazing slow downer!
where did you hear it? haven't heard this one before.
did anyone add the untitled tune in D that I believe monroe wrote from the tourbus recordings? I checked with an all-knowing source and this is not going up caney, but a tune that never recieved a...
THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST THING...............EVER!!!!!!!!
ooops I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. Sorry
