.... nice discount ... thanks. I need to mix things up a bit and this book will likely be a great help to me !!!!

I caught MO last night from up close that the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. Goodness, it was magical .... they did the last song unplugged.

Hope the video shows... I'm not so good at inserting...

I have s slew of pedals to try to make those psych sounds. Is there a wrong way to play it? why do I want one?

pretty much how I dance to everything ..... the moment just demands it....

I have been to a few low end "sessions" but attended my first BG jam yesterday. I've been to this jam once before but didn't get my mandolin out, it being the first time there, and it was a fairly...

I agree with all of your points. I've been to Elderly and played a bunch of high end models, but realized the Eastman is a pretty good instrument and I'm content (as of now) with it. I'm well...

I have played late at night while trashed... does that count? (not recommended....)

I found that when I wear tights (ala Anderson), I make faces too ....

I graduated from Geneseo in '81, and while not 'in tune' with the mandolin at the time, also don't recall this group. I do recall the "Moss Back Mule Band" playing bluegrass at the now defunct...

I'm sure there are other threads pertaining to Thile / Mehldau shows, but I just have to say that I caught them tonight at a very nice-sounding venue (Sharon Lynn Wilson Theatre in suburban MKE) and...

to each his own... I think she is amazing ....

Chicken Wire Empire from right here in Milwaukee ... a nice bunch of guys to boot. Ryan plays a Nugget...

Apologies for not knowing how to embed ....

Speaking of Jason Isbell, I saw him recently at Milwaukee's Summerfest (Outlaw Festival) and he was REALLY LOUD ... he was good, but really loud (saw him indoors a year ago and that was really loud...

It's helpful for me to use a looper to practice with the mandostrat... and why not add some pedals for fun? I have a Rocktron Valve Charger overdrive (very inexpensive, got it used at MusicGoRound)...

Alrighty ... Sampler II has made its way from Canada and arrived today !!!!! I'll settle into some "hot" picking this evening. To be clear, it's climatcially (a word?) HOT in MKE right now. My...

We are so water logged here in MKE ... when I picked up the mando last night, like Ken, it too was "farther off than I have ever experienced". Interesting ....

mine is more like ... sexy. Quite a G string.....

jobs come and go... a 24 Loar? Not so much...

ummm, he is playing within the context of a live radio show, and making it resonate with a local theme. It's a "skit" and probably not meant to be "ground breaking", but rather well executed, which...

cool ... it's great that these 'greats' still come out and meet the concert goers....

I looked at your Dawg lick vid and while I have a ways to go on the lick, I also highly recommend Lakefronts...

... I do like how Bill Frisell uses his pedals to amazing effect (the king of reverse delay), all the while getting about as much emotion out of a guitar as anyone ....

Two finger chords "ring out" louder so are good for volume, but as mentioned, other chords might distinguish your mandolin from the other instruments. "Double stops" also work well, while keeping...

I started with both and acoustic and electric because I like acoustic but needed to rock with the nephews. The electric is nice, as mentioned above, because it's quiet when not plugged in, so I can...

I had the Gibson F5 jitters, for sure, ..... I could have managed the situation much better. I was with some friends of the in-laws who think they know the F5 owner and said he has a stunning...

Brad, that does look like what he had, and the price is right.

Can't blame my wife ... I really didn't have the time but it was a fun experience. I don't suspect I'll play one of those for a...
