I agree. There was a time when you could say imported instruments were routinely of a lesser quality than American. That time has passed.

I think that I may have bought that mandolin- I got it at Gruhn's yesterday and they said it was a SPBGMA sample. I am absolutely amazed how good this thing sounds- dry, woody, popping and loud! The...

Yes, the song would be in "C", with Am being the relative minor. Really no such thing as a minor key...

Dry, woody and with a "pop". Like my Flatiron. :)

+1 for "The Crossing". A masterpiece.

The 2nd Nickel Creek album was a big disappoint for me because I liked the first one so much. In fact, it's the only one of their records I like.

Hot Rize first album and Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky...

What, in your opinion, would qualify as "capable"?

I totally do not get Lucinda Williams. One word- overrated.

REM- at the 40 Watt club in Athens GA around 1986. I think it was some kind of benefit at the club where they got their start a few years earlier. I was not a huge fan- I liked some of their stuff...

I'm very interested! I was just thinking about doing this and was searching for "Mandolin orchestra Nashville" on google. I think it would be a blast!

+1 for the pocket knife. And they have thousands of uses!

Blue Highway- great live show.

I love bluegrass gospel, which my wife says is sacrilegious since I'm agnostic, but I don't see it that way. It makes me feel nostalgic for my childhood, when my grandad would watch "The Gospel...

I have a '93 Montana made A-5 Artist, signed by Bruce Weber. Love it.

I've seen him four times- definitely worth the price of admission.

I don't respond to ads that don't list a price. Many forum's classifieds- like the Internet BMW motorcyle riders list require a price for all ads.

I just meant I don't play a lot of three-note chords on guitar like I do on mandolin.

When I first started playing mandolin, I thought I had to have a scroll because I thought they looked so cool. However, in my search for tone and playability and my limited budget I came across a '93...

I see said the blind man. I guess I still think more as a guitar player.

OK, this confuses me. Admittedly I'm not a theory expert, but one of the things I thought I knew was that in order to make a minor chord from a major, you flat the 3. If 2-4-5 (A-F#-D) is a D chord...

Bill Monroe, Ricky Skaggs, Sam Bush, Tim O'Brien, basically any Monroe style player...I wouldn't say that I "dislike" any of these guys as musicians, I mean I love Tim O'Brien as a...

Lots of big names for over 30 years in Nashville area.

He is the real deal.

So it speeds the learning process for you. That's cool. I've never come across anything I wanted to learn that I couldn't learn by ear- it used to take longer, but now it's usually just a matter of...

I don't know why I bother to post on these topics- someone always takes part of what you say and runs away with it. What I said about feel was specifically describing most of the people "I've known"...
