So, I'm finding that I like to play mandolins with a slightly wider nut or actually a nut that is on the wider end of the spectrum. I played and old Givens the other day and although it was...

You'll probably get a lot of varying answers to this but I'd say practice as much as you can as long as you feel like it and enjoy it. Practice every day but only as long as it's enjoyable, if you...
You know this is merely here say but my dad told me a fella that lives about 1/4 mile up the Rd from my parents used to play with Monroe. My dad said he quite the band because Monroe always wanted...
I love the pipes and actually have a book on teaching yourself Gaelic, reply wanted to learn but never got around to it and now the teaching medium, I.E. cassette tapes is out of date lmao. When I...
Thanks all, I'll start doing that. I wasn't too much concerned with the scuffs and what not from playing but I only have a gig bag and I drive flatbed for a living so A LOT of dust and what not makes...
Just wondering what everyone uses to keep their Mando's shined up and looking spiffy?
I've played the Km 150 and the neck does seem to be a little wider and easy to play.I bought a Loar LM 220 LM vs and am very happy with it however the neck is definitely a little tighter than the...
Minus the percussion at the front I started messing around with the theme from Terminator 2 last week haha
Having just went through this myself I'don't at least start with either a Km 150 or a lower end Loar. I started with a Rouge and moved to an LM 220 vs and couldn't be happier (loar)
I bought a Load LM 220 vs on eBay marked factory used for around $250.00 still working through some minor setup issues but couldn't be happier and it generally has everything you want in a quality...
Someone may have mentioned this but there is a fella on Facebook/eBay that builds acoustic instrumentso that might suit your taste I believe it's Kentucky Guitars or something like that but he has...
So yeah, totally thought you were talking about the Chinese made modern ones and I thought "I dunno,I sure like mine " and thenot I read the price and was like "oh".
So it finally happened to me while playing Saturday, does this mean I've rounded some sort of corner in my playing, taken it to the next level?
Sorry man I'm technologically stunted myself.
So like someone else said I don't think I've gotten to "drool level" yet but I'd say it's in the forecast, my mouth tends to contort in strange ways when playing segments that I have trouble with...
I've not wet a line in over a year, sadness:crying:
Nice!
journeybear, I'd say your statement pretty accurately sums up what my current definition of "good" is. I'm at the point now where I can hear it in my head but can't actuate it on my mandolin lol. I...
4 hours a day?:disbelief: Hell I thought I was dedicated by practicing/playing 30 mins a day with frequent forays of playing a couple hours a day, lol. I'd say on average I play and hour and a half a...
I'm not at a skill lever to use it myself, I have the same mando (recently arrived) um I can't honestly answer your questions either, apparently my natural playing area falls well below the fretboard...
She's got a brother, I don't think he's a Caitlen Jenner but you might luck out;)
:grin:
Thanks for the words of wisdom all, I may be in a conundrum. I believe I would have been more accurate to state how long did it take for you to feel comfortable playing in front of others, lol but I...
Well, hell, thanks ya'll lol. I know my wife recorded me on my new LM 220 and my old Rogue yesterday so I could listen to the difference and I sounded better (still not good) than I thought whilst I...
