If you are ever in the Dallas area and get to check out guitarist Kim Platko, you will be greatly encouraged. Kim is one of the best guitarists on the planet - and his fingers are a good inch shorter...
I got to play one of those - a vintage 1923 Loar Mandolone - at Winfield in 1980. The fact that I'm over 14 feet tall makes me one of the few people on the planet who can play a G chord spanning the...
I have one I picked up in Mendoza, Argentina a couple years ago.
I still haven't had the nerve to change the strings. Mine uses nylon strings with no balls or loops on the ends. You have to feed...
I'm working up an arrangement that requires me to play up to the 21st fret on the E string. Wow- its pretty tough to get much more than a thud way up there. If I really work it for awhile, I can get...
I'm gonna buy one and take it to the Winfield National Championships. At the end of my 2nd song, I'm gonna smash it on the stage like Jimi Hendrix or Pete Townsend. That should help bring bluegrass...
A friend's daughter is a good guitar player who wants to learn mando (wants one for Christmas). Budget is around $150 - $200.

She's a lefty. Can you take an A style mando without a...
another vote for Sibelius.
I really like it for writing, arranging. the play back feature lets you hear what your tune would sound like.
Now this is off topic for the mando forum, but this...
I'm adding my prayers and faith for a full recovery.
I've found my ears have been trained pretty well by playing lots of scales, modes, and arpeggios. I wasn't really trying to do ear training, but it seems that since I've been practicing all those...
I've flown with my mando several times with no problem. Flown with my guitar other times too. Not a problem. Ditto on getting in boarding group A - get your boarding pass on line 24 hours prior to...
I wrote a 386 page guitar instruction book. #The book contains over 800 graphics (music notation/TAB & block diagrams). #I created the music notation/TAB in Sibelius and the block diagrams in Power...
Thanks Jim - that's more than I knew about the gig. I'd met John Coats (the choir director) at a party a few months back. And there's another friend of mine (Leo Bela) who used to own a big studio in...
Actaully the schemerhorn is an octave below the flugelhorn - and is best played in the key of Cb. #However, unlike the flugelhorn, the schemerhorn has 4 pairs of unison strings tuned to a Cb major...
What I know so far is that its a big choir (300+), some strings, percussion, etc. #Will get the CD to start practicing this Friday and will know more then.
Just got the call to play mando for two shows at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on October 14th. #Its a 300+ member choir, plus a assortment of other instrments. #Will find out more in the days to...

Butch, I'm praying - and believing - for your complete healing and restoration. May you and your family be filled and covered with grace and peace.
OK, I'm actaully kind of bugged by some of these tunes. #I mean when you listen to a song like "Little Girl And The Dreadful Snake" I have to wonder why someone would write a tune and like, why...
All our wives/spouses have secretly signed a petition asking all of us to get in at least 5 hours of practice each day!
Is there, has there ever been, a song book for the first david grisman quintet album. even if it was just basic melody and chord changes, I'd really like to see that.
I play guitar as my primary instrument. I've spent 3 years writing this 384 page encyclopedia of guitar scale, mode, and arpeggio fingerings. If you're a guitarists, or know one that could use this...
Can anyone recommend a good mandolin stand? I'm a guitar player who also plays mando. I take a mando to my gigs and use it on a few songs, but it doesn't work well to try to sit it in a guitar stand....
