She really is good, you know.
Well, we all know that of course, but honestly, just watch how she covers the whole of the fretboard, watch how effortlessly she uses her pinky - indeed her whole...
Thanks for the replies. The scroll isn’t vital for me. Decided to get the best A that I can. Went in a completely different direction … Collings MT2V.
Noting the anniversary of this feature.
I was honored to have my compositions read at the 2022 CMSA New Music session in Kalamazoo MI. It is a suite in three movements, each one reflecting a state of mind: AGITATION, MEDITATION, and...
There’s a great story of Julian bream, the great guitarist, giving a seminar and at the end one of the students says, ‘sure you have great tone, but you’ve got a great instrument. How do I get great...
Round up the usual suspects, bridge slots and nut slots. A close inspection of the angle the slots are cut, and the slot width can possibly reveal a difference as compared to the other slots. Just...
Welcome to the cafe! Check out the Newbies group; several of us Newbies are Oldies. Mutual support as we learn is what the Newbies do.
My first mandolin was also a Kentucky KM200S. I bought it online, and despite the seller telling me it was ready to go, it had very high action. The bridge saddle was already all the way down, and I...

Here’s a vid #2 I did a couple of years ago. It explains at least some of the main things about doublestops but I don’t talk about 3,5 double stops (mainly because they’re more ambiguous).

I ordered some from China a while ago and although they are reasonably well made (and cheap), the problem is the string loops keep slipping off the posts. The Allen tailpieces have the posts at an...
NEVER play through pain. I know a few great players who will never be able to play again as they tried to ‘play through the pain’.
