I went thru something similar a few years back, during several years of intense mando study I had obtained both an upright andd electric bass, a fiddle and a b*#j@. I gave up mando completely...

man i missed the quiz again, oh well, maybe next time

After watching the sample Acutab videos of both Adam Steffey and Herschel Sizemore, I noticed that both of them are playing in a very relaxed open handed way, now having said that and that both are...

I am finally getting the hang of this without having to think too hard, now I get to spend the next 50+ years trying to perfect it.:))

the horrible challenge is that changing the strings correctly is so time consuming, I'd rather be playing.

I have a Weber made of Engleman, the second I picked it up, I knew it was the one, such sweet tone. Mike Marshall is a great guy.

I am really thinking about getting Tim Obriens "the crossing" as a study into more of a celtic approach. any other suggestions?

Very beautiful mandolin you got there. Congrats.. I am sold on Weber, I haven't put my new Gallatin Cumberland down in the past week.

i know this may sound crazy but next time you go to a mandolin shop, try playing one with a wider nut, I have found the extra string spacing actually helps my small hands to "chop" better, i guess my...

is there anywhere else on the web as helpful as tabledit?

I would say 90%, has mando, theres the Thile musics and the Fleck &Sam Bush, stuff that i jam to with the wife, then there is the Grisman that i pay undivided attention too, and i've really began to...
