  1. Re: Not "Wagon Wheel" again - are there other popular band songs?

    Music touches souls in ways words alone can not. Having spent the majority of my life interacting with Sr citizens, and seeing music "bring back" more then a hand full, I delight in ANY song that has...

    Re: So I bought a Blue Chip pick-my impressions

    Hey, if the blue chips were good enough for Bill Monroe they are good enough for me! After all, isnt the quest for that one, single, solitary sound the holy grail?

    Re: hmm, to sell, or not to sell?

    Sell it. Sounds like the new guy is hungry to play, and the world needs MORE pickers!

    The plus is.......LESS "stuff" that ownes you.

    Re: Knowing it's a keeper...

    My experience is somewhat unique here. My Lady had a custom guitar built for me in 1985 with the vision that this would be "it" for life. And it was. Until health dictated I have 4 surgeries and the...
  7. Re: Please tell me I've got enough to sound 'bluegrass'

    Play what YOU like, the way YOU like it, and put your soul in it. It will sound JUST fine!

    Oh yeah, use what YOU have to do it! Dont fall into the trap of ..."If I ONLY had _____ I could make...
  8. Re: Upgrading from a Loar LM600VS to a.......Weber???

    Having played a large group of $10K+ mandolins, I would not say "X" mandolin is FAR superiour to your The Loar without listening to it yourself. I fully realize you said you can not travel to hold...

    Re: Finger style on the mandolin?

    Having been a finger style guitarist for 40 years, when health forced me to change to just mandolin, finger style followed me. I do a lot of it without even thinking of it. And I transposed a lot of...

    Re: Michael Kelly, Morgan Monroe, The Loar??

    I played a 520 for over a year and loved it! Would STILL be playing it but fate dropped a Bulldog into my lap.
  12. Re: From a really good to really great mandolin... what happens?

    While I agree that a "good" instrument is required to really produce a great sound...(No, Jimi would NOT have sounded the same on a $100 guitar and a 10w solid state amp)...in the end this "only a...

    Re: Clawhammer Mandolin??

    That is one thing about the Mandolin that intrigues me....the versatility. I have been exploring solo arrangements and even finger picking arrangements. I will have to try clawhammer!
  14. Re: nerve damage - potential causes and effects on playing

    In 2007, I had open heart surgery. (skip to the next section if you have heard this story, it bores even me!). They cracked open my chest cavity, and in the process, they crushed 3 neck vertebra, and...

    Re: V-picks

    I converted to the med triangle after receiving 3 in the mail to try. But I was using fender med guitar picks, so no heroic change for me. :) I REALLY do love the picks though!

  18. Re: A guitar question. Guild D50 Bluegrass Special

    I have always loved Guilds! Yes, some of them would be on par with Martin, just a bit different sound. Some are very "thick" with finish, some are as hard to play as most Gibsons! But SOME....are...

    I would personally LOVE to see some different builds. I am pretty tired of the tried and true F5 in brown sunburst! I "fell" into my Bulldog, but if I had been searching with money in hand, I would...
