Pictures or it didn't happen :grin:

Paul I have used masking tape with a hole punched in the size of the fret marker you want. Then a drop of fingernail polish for the marker. Take the tape off before it is completely dry so it doesn't...

(not sure how interesting this is, but I felt like writing it today)

It was 40+ years ago that I (at about 14 years old) was given a junky old mandolin from my grandfathers attic. After arming...

Not to hijack the thread but you'll love your mando through a Loudbox!

I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Being an 80s kid, EVH was a big part of my life. Every boy in my generation at some point wanted to play guitar, and mostly because of Eddie. I...

I met a girl named Amanda Lynn in Atlanta years ago. She was a friend of the teenaged sister of a friend of mine, and didn't even know what a mandolin was. She didn't appreciate me teasing her about...

My good buddy Steve Roy & I have a duo, Steve & Dave Play Dead, which is what we do, and we did it as part of an online fest we are a part of, Dead to the Core, this past weekend. We are the only act...

It's hard to describe, and yes, that's what I've been using and would still be satisfied to use. I feel like the attack of the "clown" pick is what I like and the tone produced. I realize it's all...

Billy Strings is - of course - all shades of bad (_*_)

About 10 years ago or so I was attending an industry retreat in Massachusetts at which we were lucky enough to have Mike Marshall, along with a couple of young guys on violin and bass, play for us...

I find it interesting that almost everyone is talking about when it is appropriate to upgrade an instrument.

I like setting other benchmarks, which are instrument-independent. Scale exercises...

I was searching for something else and came across this old thread, pretty good read so I had to bump it to throw in Jarrod Walker. Been listening to him a lot lately and while he is a SOLID...

I'm going to jump back in real quick and answer a few more things.

First of all Jim DeSalvo: Here's a longer video that just consists of the mandolin being played:

The emando is a whole other set of tools for expression, and part of the great variety of mandolins in general in regards to shapes, build styles, woods, etc.

Beyond my acoustics (Rigel A and...

I hope y'all enjoy this Pink Floyd cover we did!

Well that was surely one of the musical highlights of my year! Just a terrific show!

Two sets. One microphone. Just the right amount of banter and spontaneity to give it a 'living room' feel while...

Hey Folks,

Tried to post this in the Grateful Dead Section but I don't see it. So here is a China Cat Sunflower lesson. Hope it is useful and let me know what you think!

I received a request...

A good friend has been helping a family that has recently relocated to Minnesota. There are two sons that like music, but have never played. Someone had donated an acoustic guitar for one of them....
