    Re: new trend?

    Who could possibly be interested in information that's over 20 years old? I am throwing out all my music theory and instruction books published before 2003. And my complete works of Shakespeare too!

    There is a name for this kind of behavior, and it's not "kind" or "considerate."

    Re: Using a capo with a mandolin?

    Playing a mandolin with a capo just isn't done. Like playing a right-handed guitar left-handed just isn't done (right Jimi? right Albert?) or playing a bass guitar with a pick (right Macca?)

    Re: 90% of us can’t do this.

    I am prone to this as well. I console myself by remembering that Michael Jordan used to stick out his tongue while driving to the hoop.

    Re: Second chord in Old Home Place

    I wouldn't call it a substitution. Going from the 1 to the major 3 is not uncommon in popular music. Georgia On My Mind comes to mind.

    I don't like to make plans that far ahead. That's when they start throwing terms like "premeditated" around the courtroom.

    When practicing those fiddle tunes, try changing a few notes here and there. Voila, you're improvising!
