    Re: Blue Chip Birthday

    glasses,
    I get a pretty loud chop from mine. It's an interesting sound. Less pick noise than you would think with such a heavy pick. The pick just sorta glides thru the strings for me.

    Re: Blue Chip Birthday

    I'm with Brent. CT55 is my fav. I take it everywhere. I'm too afraid I'll lose it if it's not on me at all times. Seriously though, it is the cat's behind!
  3. Re: what does it mean that mandolins "are in G"?

    Re: Blue chip picks

    Re: Low Humidity

    Ok, so I gotta ask. I'm sort of a new player (about a year) and while I realize it is important to look after your instrument, is humidity really that important? What are the most damaging results...

    Re: New Player

    When I was first shown that chord, I thought, why bother. Why not just play the 2 finger G (0023) and use a palm mute when you need the chop. That was the Guitar player in me talking AND I had no...

    I own a MM. It came set up from the dealer, but personally I don't think they did a good job. I'll explain in a bit. Some of the posters have mentioned that MM's don't get...

    Thanks Martin and Fred. I think it's just the way I angle my hand, perhaps my thumb placement as well. I'll check out the video when I get home (can't do it at work). Also, I think I'm just tensing...
