Unless something drastic has changed It's not a hole for hole switch.
Chris replied on his Instagram that each class would be archived for 30 days after.
Thanks MC for the heads up, I am excited for it!

If you want to see mandolins, I don't think there's anything much in Boston or Cambridge anymore. The Music Emporium, somewhat west of Cambridge in Lexington is fabulous but I wouldn't call it...
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:

I have heard the entire album and I think it's right up there with his debut album "Flatbush Waltz". If some of you newbies have been thinking of boarding "The Statman Bus" now would be a great time...
Thanks for your interest in the CD, everyone. I have to admit I've dragged my heels on getting this out for a long time. But it's finally put together and done. Heidi and I are looking at 'official'...
Was cruising Prime tonight and found this. FYI for those interested.

Recently, people were discussing the pursuit of mandolin "brilliance" on another thread. I'd said that one of the joys of taking up mandolin in my 60's was that I didn't have to aim for excellence;...
One important thing about playing Oldtime as opposed to Bluegrass is the backup playing. Notice Carl's and Caleb's use of two and three finger chord shapes and letting the chords ring. That is quite...
Some of it has to do with tune selection but I would listen to people like Carl Jones.........

Also check out Adam Tanner........

What kind of pick was it using?
That's crazy! And cool! And not really playing a mandolin. More of a harp made out of a mandolin. The string spacing at the bridge has been changed so that each string can be plucked independently....
While I do not share your critical opinion of the show I do respect it with exception to the comment "throwing his mentor under the bus".
I think most people would agree that Thile had nothing to...
It’s quite easy, even I can manage.
Get the bridge roughly where you think it should be; so that the 12th fret is halfway between the nut and bridge. That’s not the correct position but close...

Wrap the endpin with some painters tape until you get a snug fit.
Non-marring, non-permanent. You probably already have some on hand.
The Blugrass Musician's Supply (the name on the sign) is a great store for guitars, banjos, and mandos, plus all your gear, books, and recorded music. Not only that, they have a Saturday jam in the...
Although they look alike, there are a myriad of minute variables that might make different covers just different enough to not fit. You won't know until you try to put it on. I would either go to the...
Hora flat-top mandolins sold via Thomann are solid woods, and under 200$ including shipping from Germany. There are actually quite a few different affordable solid wood mandolin options via Thomann...

For anyone that missed it.
Thanks, Fatt-Dad, but "Blind Arthur's Breakdown" has been "removed for copyright reasons" in Canada. I'm sure I can find it elsewhere.
However, here are Blind Blake interpretations on mandolin...
Here is a fun version of Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready". Mandolin, upright bass, piano, fiddle and drums. Enjoy!
