Leone mentions lengthening and shortening fingers and Christina covers this whereas the other two don't. However, Christina does not advocate...

Take a trip to Eddie Bauer, LL Bean or REI or the like and look at the zippered pouches they sell for packing things when you travel. If the look...

Yeah, I know that but that's not what my copy of the Gruhn book said. Thanks for swinging through again.

It is done.

So looks like all the videos are advocating for a loose fist contrary to what Leone suggests. No one pinky anchors, so I'll throw that out the...

I think as long as you're somewhere in the ballpark of what Chris, Caterina, and Mike Marshall are demonstrating for pick hold you're fine. Which one...

Noise and distraction are the limiting factor, not just cost and batteries. If I lived in a mountain cabin away from everyone, then drone delivery...

thanks after 40 years of guitar and 3 years of mandolin have recently been re evaluating my pick hold.

Ted: Beyonce's message, in regard to what it means for Bluegrass, is no part of nothin'! Her performance, her attire and her disrespect for anyone...

That was entertaining, but even more, I was informed! So educational! Thank you Mike.

Thank for the info, they definitely look like a good quality build. The videos sound good on the Pono octaves. I probably will get one of them...

I’ve never considered using a tenor guitar like it comes, but I have considered converting an old Harmony arch top to 8 strings, but that’ll be in...

thanks! - - - Updated - - - Totally! Thanks for watching!

I suppose before too long, you will be able to order mandolins with high impact packaging for the drone parachute drops, extreme insulation packaging...

So I've watched Catrina's video and Chris's video each multiple times. I feel like they are describing 2 different approaches between your index...

Thanks, Jim!

I'd rather listen to a good player on a Washburn than a bad player on a Fern.

I probably only want to spend about $2K which is why I was attracted to the Eastman. But who knows? I have a birthday coming up. ;-) I looked for a...
