Not to toot my own horn (partly because all the people listed above are incredible educators) but I am starting to go through Chris Thile's catalog of songs on my Patreon. I'll be posting a decent...

I like it. Soothing indeed.

I am utterly ignorant of the proper terminology and forms of various folk music forms ranging from the middle to far east, but to my novice ears this recording seems...

John Suhr, who makes awesome electric guitars, has a pretty great quote, something like: Most tone problems can be cured with practice.

Tone is an ongoing journey, and you’re at the beginning of...

I too am very saddened to receive this news. Peter was a master musician and a gentle soul. Rest in peace.

It's Sad Day. One of our good ones has passed. Thank you Peter for all you've given. A shining light in the mando world. Beautiful tunes. Beautiful tones. He opened up many doors with that great big...

Peter could play anything on the mandolin(also fiddle and guitar)and play it at master level. He did an awful lot to showcase and popularize the mandolin, his versatility and virtuosity showing us...

I'm not a professional musician, so I won't attempt to answer your question, but I want to say something to pro's and sei-pro's. Musicians keep telling us how little they're paid by streaming and...

re-reading the original post I see the poster was asking for suggestions of tunes, and coming from a flat-pick fiddle backround. So here comes a bunch of that. Not to suggest that the book and...

I'm no classical expert by any means, mostly a bluegrass guy. But this is the first Bach piece I wanted to learn and worked on. It was 4 pages on the tab from Joe Walsh's Peghead Nation course and...

Happy to see some nice discourse on this topic. More diversity in who is playing the mandolin will only make the music more interesting.

I've known females who have been driven out of music forums by males who had terrible boundaries. There are also subtle pressures through which females get the message that they might be only...

Some truth, but plenty myth in my opinion. To really get a feel for any resource you'd have to identify everyone not using a name by their gender identity. Even that wouldn't identify a gender...

I'm a hospital Registered Nurse and today was pretty rough. I was honestly fine until today. It's starting to take it's toll, or maybe I'm just rambling and tired after a bad shift. My wife and kids...

Eva's most definitely the real deal but flies under the radar a bit in the mandolin world. I know she got the call to appear on an Anthony Wilson CD around 14 years ago. Wilson, for those not...

Hey y'all,

I am working on a project for Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin in which I work up fingerings for each piece along with explanations on why I chose these fingerings....

Works for us. I'd guess you could add to that list, and I'll probably think of more at some point:

Tristan Scroggins
Mike Compton
Don Stiernberg
Adam Steffey
Wayne Benson
Marla Fibish

I'm not asking, but insisting on a halt on this discussion until Ted Eschliman has a chance to review. I'm slammed with other business at the moment and just don't have the time to stop and tend to...

I think it is time to close this thread as we have clearly wandered into politics.

I don't care if people pretend to be experts about mandolins here, but the people posting medical claims and now...

Hey Friends, long time no see, hope you all are well. Transcribed this last year for Steve Smith's mando camp, made a youtube video after and have had a few requests for the transcription. Thought...

There's an outdoor old time jam held every Tuesday, 7-9, in Post Office Square in the heart of Portland. Goes through the summer months.

All are welcome - bring yourself - and a chair if you need...

I am currently playing in an acoustic trio mostly pop music want to play bluegrass and old-time tunes. Feel free to message me or post jams in central Florida.

Best Tom

Ya'll can worship at the alter of Thile if you want but in my opinion Ronnie was more musical and overall a "better" player.

And Women:)
