    Try contacting the publisher - Mel Bay, or the author - Jesper R-Peterson. Maybe they can send you links to the download audio files.

  4. Re: A couple of position questions - trying to unlock the fretboa

    There are only four patterns. That does not seem like a dizzying array of choices.

    Seriously once you see how they connect and cycle through over the fretboard there is a certain symmetry and...

    You absolutely have permission to push things as much or as little as you desire.

  6. Re: A couple of position questions - trying to unlock the fretboa

    The pentatonic scale moves by major seconds and minor thirds. When going up or down a second, use (as always) the next finger. When going up or down a third, skip (as always) one finger.

    Or...
  7. Re: A couple of position questions - trying to unlock the fretboa

    If you begin a descending G pentatonic with index on root, you are using the 2nd finger on root Ffcp. If you begin the same scale with the 2nd finger on the root, you're using the 3rd finger on root...

    Cole mandolins

    I contacted Ron Cole back in 2000 about building me an F-5. He used bubble big leaf maple for the 2 piece back. I wanted a slightly wider neck than standard. He made a jig and custom built the...

    Re: Left-Handed Players

    I’m a dominant lefty and could never play righty. Like many things, I think handedness falls on a spectrum and some lefty’s can play righty, while for others it’s not feasible. It’s hard enough to...

    Re: Left-Handed Players

    You're making a great point.

    I've been playing guitar for over fifty years and have never been able to get a good alternating bass going. About a year ago I attended a guitar workshop with drop-D...

    Re: Left-Handed Players

    A little over a year ago I was looking to learn mandolin and took some good advice about learning to play right handed (even though I am a lefty). Never having played a fretted instrument (I am a...

    Re: Understanding double-stops...

    Harmonized scales are just making 3 or more note chords in 3rds on each scale degree. Thus, the "part of the chord - various combinations of 1 3 and 5 tones" idea is part and parcel of harmonizing...

  17. Re: Looking for a clip-on tuner that works well in daylight...

    I've always really loved the NS Micro tuners, and they just released a new one in the last month or so with a much brighter nicer display. The clip is also redesigned and lets me hide the tuner on...
  18. Re: Looking for a clip-on tuner that works well in daylight...

    Another plus, besides working well and being accurate it that the batteries last. I have used mine daily for a year it seems, while my partner is always changing her battery.
  19. Re: Looking for a clip-on tuner that works well in daylight...

    another vote for the TC unitune. Very bright and the two colors make it obvious when you've hit the pitch. Also extremely accurate, when you tune each string in a pair, they are actually in tune with...
  20. Re: Looking for a clip-on tuner that works well in daylight...

    +1. This is the reason that I switched from the NS Micro to the Unitune.
  21. Re: Looking for a clip-on tuner that works well in daylight...

    I love my Peterson HD Clip and in full sun I have no problem seeing it but be warned if your the kind of person who likes a tuner that just locks in this isn't for you. It is so accurate you can see...
  22. Re: Looking for a clip-on tuner that works well in daylight...

    In my experience, the NS-Mini keeps tuning even as the battery weakens AND the display dims - even if not enough to be obvious. Maybe just try a new battery? FWIW, it has beecome my go-to tuner for...

    I have great luck with this:

    This is my new go-to clip-on.

    Peterson strobe tuner. Used it outdoors at a festival this past weekend. Quite easy to read. Did see a number of folks using red Snarks (don't know which model, sorry). They seemed to work well...

    Polytune or unitune has a nice bright display.
