Grisman the first for sure. Second, I'd have to say the late Butch Baldassari had beautiful tremelo. Mike Marshall has some of the best and really focuses on the dynamics of his tremelo (no doubt...

I haven't taken any Peghead Nation lessons yet but they sure are tempting. I've been a member of Mike Marshall's school since 2020 and Sierra Hull's school since she started hers last August or so?...
I think he used the grant to buy his SECOND Lloyd Loar!
Rebecca is actually in B.
It really is a fantastic album. If you haven't heard it, check out his duo album with Grant Gordy where they play a bunch of jazz standards.
Hey all, my bluegrass band recorded a few videos last week in an effort to start booking some gigs. Here's one our banjo player edited real nice. Hope you enjoy!

This is great. Such nice and clean and "pure" playing. Nice!
I just googled Skip since I have been wanting to get some of his mandolin-centric albums and looks like he has all of them available on his website! Gonna have to pick those up!
...
I'm surprised nobody has started a thread about Mike's new album already. Just got my autographed copy in the mail two days ago and I've listened to it about 5-6 times so far. I can't find the words...
That axe sounds awesome, Don! Congrats! Probably gonna have to get rid of that Duff now, ehh!?
You forgot Dominick Leslie, who plays on 5 of the 19 tracks. He has one of my favorite mandolin breaks on the album (Baptist Pumpkin Farm) and plays on Round Rock on the album.
Man, this album is...
Thanks Iflngpicker! It really is fully the next level above my MT in absolutely every way possible. I am so damn happy with my purchase!!
Well it finally arrived around 10 this morning. Opened it up about an hour or so ago and am so enjoying this new sound for me. Obviously a little bit louder and fuller with greater bass response and...
Hi all,
I am so excited to be finally getting a new mandolin after playing my trusty Collings basic MT for about 11 years now.
A little backstory: almost 5 months ago I bought a used Northfield...
Hey all,
Just checking to see how many of you either went to Rockygrass or viewed it via the Mandolin.com stream. I ended up shelling out the rather cheap $50 for the option to stream all 3 days...
Bela Fleck on banjo, Chris Eldridge and Brian Sutton on Guitar, Michael Cleveland on fiddle, Mark Shatz on bass, Sam on mandolin and fiddle. It was epic! It was so cool to hear them play Swing 51...
As a current student of ArtistWorks, and more of an intermediate player I have been sooooooo happy with having this resource. Even though it does take Mike around 10+ days to respond to your video...
Hey all, my friend Colin put together this video of us playing “Bill’s Dream” by Bill Monroe. The guitar player recorded a backing track and we all recorded our parts with just our cell and then...
Like fAtHanD....these 2 aren't exclusively mando and guitar but Caleb Klauder and Reeb Wilms is high up on my list:

Yeah, that is one of my favorite mandolin videos of all time! It has been posted a couple of times before but it's always a good one to watch again, again, and again........
Hi all,
I just posted this in another thread but wanted to post it in a new one, also. Not sure if many have seen this but, man, it's a great one! Enjoy!

Hi all,
I was just watching this video and it made me remember this thread. Thile seems to put the clapping to rest pretty quickly while doing it in a way where he didn't sound like a jerk. Haven't...
I got to attend one of Brian's workshops on 12 July. It was only 4 of us present and each one of us ranged from rank beginner, intermediate (myself) to established player in both bluegrass and swing...
Journeybear, like I said in my original post, I DIDN'T look at the archives but typically think I'm pretty on with the announcements of new features, etc. on this site. I obviously missed this one! I...
I may be slow in noticing this but I just wanted to say thanks to Scott T. and crew for giving the option to "thank" people for their posts. It's a nice feature that I just noticed a couple of days...
