I have been a reader of this forum since I started playing mandolin in 2007. Between then and now, I have never felt the need to post anything here. Instead, I have always been content to read what...
Trying a fun little exercise of learning a Ronnie McCoury solo a day. Maybe I underestimated how difficult this would be but let's find out :))
I usually post majority of my videos on social media...

To be fair, she did warn us - at the mid-point of her pro...
Sounds like the company that purchased "The Flatiron Mandolins" and "Epiphone":)
It is always to be remembered that the Grail Instruments were all made in a factory. The Loar fretboards were miscut. No one cared much about them when they were released, at least the F-5 and the...

Instead of a beater, get a reasonable forever mandolin, one that you can love, that you wouldn't mind playing even if you weren't traveling. Treat it with respect and...
Well cause he's Sam Bush.......
