    Re: Picks for arthritis

    Have you considered trying a thumb pick? Might be worth trying.
  2. Re: Artist/Album Recommendations like Punch Brothers & Sierra Hul

  5. Re: Has anyone heard about a crazy mandolinist named Frank Wakefi

    Re: May we revisit (online lesson sites)

    Another vote for Matt Flinner. At the completion of each course you can download and keep all of it, videos, sound files and notation/tab. And periodically he does beginner-intermediate material.

    Re: D-Addario Monels

    I put some Curt Mangan monels on my Girouard a few months ago. I was playing with some friends last week, and they said my mando sounded really good.

    In addition to their pricing policies, their website is difficult at best. I’m fortunate to have some local independent smaller venues that feature alternative ticket vendors. I despise stadium...

    Re: Reverb to start collecting tax IDs

    HonketyHank, check with a CPA. That’s a good way to find out how you might be impacted. Maybe just show on 1040 as misc income.

    BTW, HonketyHank, that’s a great handle, makes me chuckle.
