Hi. I know this is old, but still very relevant. I am also a beginner (practicing 6 months).I also have an inexpensive beginner mandolin (the Loar Honey Creek f style). I also got and used the ebook....

Dawg told me there are at least 5 or 6 of these volumes coming down the pike in the future. Exciting news, will be some terrific music to revisit or hear for the first time.

Just thought I'd share this really cool find at my local music store here in Charleston (Monster Music). All of the Osbourne Brothers band members and also Bill Monroe! What a cool find!

Stay trashy, my friends.

If you already know the melody:
Look for any two notes that are a semitone apart, for example F#, G on the third string.
Then you immediately know that the key is either the higher of those two...

Wow!
on Friday I was talking to a class about chord-melody a/k/a "Jethro Style", mentioning recordings that featured ample displays of his pioneering technique. I said "one you gotta get is...

Irish trad: Planxty first album, got it around 82. A true classic.

It is mainly due to to the fact that he is a really great mandolinist playing on a super great mandolin.
On your end, your picking is a tad timid.
I think you might only be plucking one of the...

You can find a style M for considerably less money.

There's also a couple of style N's [Little Wonder tone ring] on the well known banjo forum, one at a very nice price.

My pal Dan restores old tenor banjos and sets them up for Irish playing, he only has one banjo listed for sale at the moment but always has a few on the workbench so check his site regularly to see...

Since inception this site has attempted to serve as an oasis, a respite from the rest of the world, a place to relax, let down and get away from a lot of complicated news, hot button topics, and many...

A curmudgeonly comment follows, that is probably not news to anyone, but I cannot seem to overcome my baser instincts and leave this alone.

What I absolutely love about old time music is that we...
