Probably my favorite recording of this song. Any other favorite Campbell clips?

Did anybody listen to the original Monroe version that is linked in post#5?

Same frantic pace, same incredible speed and amount of notes as the Thile version...methinks that thou dost protest and...

I love this stuff.

Like mandroid stated above, it'll work with J74's. As long as you're running it into an amp you won't need a preamp. If you're running direct into the board you'll need a DI box to match impedance. ...

I've been working on a series of Sonatas for mandolin in the style of the 18th century Italian composers like Barbella, Gervasio and Battista. It's a style I really like and I hope to do a lot more...

And that Eldon Shamblin guy on guitar.

Some fiddling

Just saw this posted on facebook. Quiet, sparse, lovely. A little flourish on mandolin. Not sure by whom, as there are three mandolinists listed in the credits. One of them is Sam Bush, but I don't...

I've watched this video multiple times and it moves me every time. It's a great tune, and Tim O's rendition is soul stirring to say the least (the man is a certifiable national treasure in my book). ...

Seeing Marty on the mandolin has become something of a rarity, which makes this even more of a treat.

I hate to be the contrarian but this is just about the worst tune in bluegrass. It's a show off tune for fiddle players for audiences that don't know what good fiddling really sounds like. I'd rather...

I am a big fan of pentatonic scales used as both a key center or as an extended arpeggio. Here is a short video I produced showing an intermediate to advanced technique using pentatonic scales as...

I've done several assisted living homes and at first we went in loaded for bear with the usual system the first time. All it did was scare folks. We ended up not using it and it was fine. The main...

I think your practicing of scales is excellent, for the ear training, ear finger key association training, knowing what each note does in a scale and knowing how a note can have an ambiguous...

Here's the thing I found: you have to learn how to play twice. Once alone in your room, and once again with or in front of other people. I believe the reason is that when you're practicing alone in...

What's wrong with that? Sounds like classic Bromberg to me. He's always had a "unique" vocal style. I'ts real mucis by real people. Two voices, two instruments. There's no place to hide.

Alan, you're dead wrong!

Rule: Singer gets to choose their key, unless there are other valid extenuating reasons

The key chosen makes it to difficult/impossible to sing the harmony part(s)

Guessing is poor advice and it makes very little sense to retune and learn new fingerings for one particular key.
Also there's no particular advantage to having the root and fifth open.

The...

Turn off the TV for starters.

Going back to part of the Original Post..


Wouldn't you have to retreat to the bathroom to use those?
since all you have is the Microphone in the Phone, to hear the pitch.

A case of beer is my favorite footrest. I usually find its a little too tall though and after the removal of a few I'm sure I sound better. Some might ask. What about when its all gone? No...

This was in another post, I believe. I went ahead and embedded for you. It's a great video that bears to be repeated. :)

From a newbie's perspective, this thread is a little disturbing. The notion that a good setup is THE most important thing in bringing out the best in a mandolin is probably single most repeated...
