I was only born in 1980, so am clearly not a qualified enough follower to comment on the earlier periods, but I cut my teeth to Willy and the “Outlaw” Country gang (mostly the Highwaymen singers and...

I liked it, but I was not expecting Willie to suddenly sound like the Stanley Brothers or Flatt and Scruggs.
Willie is country and has a very distinct style, so no matter who he is pickin' with...
FWIW, I thought Rob Ickes was a standout instrumentally on the album. I've only given it a listen and a half, so maybe I missed something, but he stood out to me.
I get what several of you are saying about the technical use of the term “bluegrass”. However, I like good music and I love it played with string band instruments. It’s just a good record. I like a...

I have a dozen or more YouTube videos where I play solo mandolin on a variety of blues standards. Enter my name in YouTube - Sam Lyman - and the videos will magically appear :). There is...
i think it might be time to dust off my tuba and start practicing some bluegrass tunes.
I started off saying it as a joke, but now I kind of want to... bonus that I can actually read music on the...
Guitar, bass, OM, mandola, mandolin; they’re all different. I just get on with it!
Bought it in college in 1978 or so, taught myself mandolin with it. At one point, after much painful brute force practice, I could play a passable, but sedate, version of the cross-picking Home Sweet...

I had the same trouble. The graphic is aligned with the photo, but I couldn't figure out where the nut was either.
A suggestion: the fretboard graphic looks like it's presented as if the viewer is...
I've edited the link because it appears there is a pretty serious issue with Musician's Friend web site right now. Any link pointing to those "deals" which is a sub-directory below their root (or CGI...
Sol Goichberg (1908 – 1978) was a major figure in the history of classical mandolin in the United States. Conservatory trained as a violoncellist, he made his well-received concert debut in New York...
The great pianist passed away yesterday. I had the privilege to study with his online weekly sessions for about 18 months. Learned a lifetime worth of material to practice.
He will be missed…

The first 2:30 of this video has some of the most brilliant playing I've ever heard. I didn't listen to the other versions on the video.
I heard this on the public radio station today--didn't give...
Glad to see this obscure Gem of a Gem available , so woody, smoky, and heavy on the Bebop. Some of my favorite string band music ever.

Hi everyone, I just posted a quick lesson about playing walking bass lines on the mando, something I love to do when I back up someone in jazz music. Enjoy!

Greetings,
I am looking to connect with like minded atheist / agnostic Bluegrasser's. If you are out there please let me know. I have made this request on other forums but it keeps getting...
Today I spent a delightful hour or so with Brian Farmer, owner of Sun Valley Guitars, our sorta-local MandolinCafe.com sponsor. At the end of our visit, I left my Eastman MD305 with him and walked...
Hi all,
I'm so excited by the new mandolin I just received from genius luthier, Oliver Apitius. In my opinion, there is no mandolin that is better suited to Jazz. And it plays like a dream. I...
