    That looks great. Can't wait to hear about any differences in tone.

    Re: Holst F4 custom build

    That is going to be one COOL mandolin.

    Thanks, sparks. I'll check those out for sure.

    Chuck, don't you wish more artists would record acoustic versions like you're playing? I'd much rather listen to that instead of the more...
  4. Re: Gospel/praise/Christian music other than bluegrass for Bar Ch

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just bought that and am listening now. Love it.



    Very true. You can play anything on the mandolin. I'm not really looking for music to copy. I'll find songs...
  5. Gospel/praise/Christian music other than bluegrass for Bar Church

    Not that I don't like bluegrass, but I'm looking for some other acoustic Gospel/praise/Christian music. It could be country, folk, blues, old time, or anything acoustic - preferably with a mandolin...
  6. Re: Finnish mandolin players playing Chris Thile's music, Bach et

    OK, so now I aspire to be an aspiring mandolin player (if that's what an aspiring mandolin player sounds like).

    Great playing!

    Re: what's your favorite hymn?

    What a beautiful song. I've heard Eric Bibb, but I've not heard that one before. Man, that is very near the top of my all-time favorite songs now. Thanks!

    Re: Tube Amp

    I had a 2-watt version of this amp once. Actually, it would switch between 2 watts and 1/2 watt, depending on the tube you put in it. It was an AWESOME little head. Great for recording or use...

    Re: ? on "The Loar" mandolins :

    I didn't like thick necks on guitars or mandolins at first, but after I bought and played one of each for a while I've grown to prefer a beefier neck. I have fairly large hands and long fingers, and...

    Re: The Loar LM-700-VS Distressed by Big Joe

    Very cool, if you ask me. I like it a lot. I recently bought a The Loar LM-220 on eBay with the intention of removing the candy-coated finish from it to be redone similar to this. I'll do it...

    Nice picking, Shawn! You just need to relax and let yourself have fun with the music. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to play perfectly. It's totally OK to hit a wrong note once in a while....

    Re: "The Loar" LM-220 model on ebay

    I don't know anything about their guitars, but I've read some favorable comments about their mandolins from others here. I figured it would at least make a decent beater. I'm not expecting...
