Very well done!
Sounds great in your hands Adam. Great playing, Enjoy!!
Very nice ABrown. Thanks for sharing.
Really great tune. Paul Shelasky is an amazing musician, and darn funny dude.
couldn't play the link- my band did it in D always a crows pleaser
- I remember when we were first learning it the bass player said -"that is a lot of notes"
a fun challenge and very cool tune, I...
"Hey little blackbird, on my wireline..." My word! What a creative and soulful arrangement of that tune. Thank you for working it up, and for sharing.

I love Dawg’s take on “hardcore” bluegrass. Songs like this and albums like Home Is Where The Heart Is, Bluegrass Reunion...awesome stuff. For my money it’s the perfect, if there is such a thing, mix...
I am really pleased with the condition of my new, pre-owned Ratliff. Obviously, it had been in the case for 20 years. Little wear-- with just one or two tiny bumps. Really nice robust, dry tone...
I don’t think you can go wrong these. Harvey era ferns sound amazing and their fit and finish is grade above previous eras.
OK …… Here's my take. Use four tone / string voicings when you are able. When you are unable use three tone / string voicings on the lower ie. G-D-A strings. There is a timing "thing" going on...
From the description these are the possibilities that occur to me:
1) D string is getting muffled
2) You are using lighter strings on the G and D than your bluegrass idols
3) Pick attack / angle...
Who’s chop do you want to sound like?
Are you playing hard driving bluegrass?
Sam Bush has one of my favorite chops, many consider him one of the gold standard rhythm players. Part of it is how...
Have you considered getting a few lessons? Sometimes that is the most efficient way forward, especially when there is one specific problem you are trying to overcome. Maybe even as little as one or...
That's easy enough, PM me if you would like.
I have no knowledge of the Washburn, but will give you some unsolicited advise. Your 305 is plenty good enough to keep until you can save up $1200 or so to buy a used A style from a small builder....
For all the diy folks, here come two links about building a pop-free mute switch (also for condenser mics):

I love the purity of this video. Tim and his Nugget mandola leave nothing else to be desired. A man, his mandola and a great song written by J.D. Hutchison.
Enjoy!

Yup, you play the hell out of it, and eventually it starts to bloom and open up.
There are many threads in the forum about various versions of what you are talking about.
There is the Siminoff...
I used the Whirlwind "Micmute PP" for a long time. It is a bit more expensive than the Rolls but it has an LED indicator light so you know when it is on. I did eventually have to replace the...
Woo hoo! Guess I can never say "I never win anything" again!
Now let's see, F14...that's like 9 better than F5, right?!?
Many thanks, Scott, and to Mandolin Cafe and Weber Mandolins!
Totally...
Another approach might be to get both set up and controlled using a mini mixer something like this....
The Sign Off has no indicator light, but a couple other Pro Co models do - the Power Mute and the Panic Button.
Beautiful Fern. I love the back, very unique.
Hello fellow mandolin enthusiast,
Please rest assured that we are still producing Gibson mandolins on a daily basis and are very excited about what the future holds for Gibson with the new...
