  4. Re: How to use a metronome, by Victor Wooten (Video)

    Victor has a whole DVD on "groove." The Groove Workshop is a "must see" imo.

    Re: my new "picker's creed"

    I've noticed a similar something among the players I really admire, even when they're just demonstrating a riff, they'll play at a "performance" level of intensity. IOW, they'll "pick it like they...

  11. Re: Looking back: What the Pros say about Good Tone

    In the end, it's how it sounds. So make it sound good from the start.
    Both of these were landmark columns in my own mandolin journey. And they're still worth re-reading today.

    Re: Beat the crap out of your mandolin

    Sometimes I'll push a new set of strings too hard just to get the jangles out of 'em.
