Congratulations and welcome. I have the same black top 404. It’s a beautiful instrument and will serve you well, but don’t let that stop you from collecting more mandolins

I have an NFS as well although I went through a number of lesser instruments before that. If you can practice 2 or 3 hours a day you should be making great progress, especially if you have been...

100% agree with this. With both Mike and Sierra you will get a lot of insightful, personalized feedback, it’s way more than “keep up the good work”. The one downside is you can expect to wait a bit,...

I have taken both courses, and they are both good. I slightly prefer Sierra’s course for the reason you are apprehensive; some music theory. Learning about chord structure and arpeggios probably...

I agree that AI will start with pop music, which is already quite formulaic. Û Can AI create improvisational music ?

I think that is somewhat of an estimation. To properly calculate it you need a 4th order quadratic equation and Plank's Constant

I sure they are using an algorithm to do that. The same happens on Reverb when you watch an item

The Dom Julin book has a huge amount of info. Personally I found it overwhelming. I used Bert Casey’s book and found it way easier to follow. Of course his book is 100% bluegrass, so if that is...

I don’t know if he is still having Bovier’s made. I bought a used Bovier a couple of years ago. I emailed Jeff and he gave me all sorts of info on it

I question whether AI can surpass the musical genius of Beethoven, Thelonious Monk, or The Spice Girls

That would explain why Keith Richard’s has been alive for centuries.

I get my aged-tone from being old. I’m not torrified, just naturally old

$45 for a Gibson. Who has that kind of coin?

That is a cool find

I am on the intermediate course on AW with Sierra now, and very happy with it. I have also encountered a few instances where the tab does match what she played. I mentioned this in one of my video...

They want you to imagine yourself playing awesome stuff on their mandolin. It’s the same reason commercials for SUVs show the car riding in rugged, cool, off-road places instead of the driver go to...

Hoping for some new colors, possible?

So is that 54 Canadian years? With the exchange rate that’s only 40 US years

Unless you are Keith Richard’s, you don’t play better hammered.

I am going to order a Rogue with hopes they send me a Gilchrist

I’d be surprised if you could actually purchase one there. It certainly would be interesting to tour the factory

Had an itch to get something different. Nothing fancy, just an Eastman MD404 I found used on Reverb. I was immediately struck by how different it sounds from my 2 F-hole mandolins. Sorry for the...

I plan to bury one of my old threads in a time capsule. That way people a 100 years from now will know it’s wrong to use a capo on a mandolin

Using a pick on an electric bass is far less egregious than using a capo on a mandolin. However, Using a pick on an upright bass is heresy.

I am taking Sierra's course on ArtistWorks right now. I think I will ask her about the capo in my next video submission

I used to love Sierra but now that I know she has used a capo she is dead to me:)
