You're probably referring to crosspicking. There's a lot of info out there on it.

I watched Carolyn, for years, every Tuesday night in Houston. Good memories.
Interesting discussion. I've wanted a RM-1 a quite a while and live within 15 miles of Rich Del Grosso but never made the commitment. So, after the weekly bluegrass jam, a fiddler and I end up at the...
You're welcome. It's always nice to share this part of my heritage.
Rebetiko Music - "Greek Blues"

My father immigrated to the USA from Sparta, Greece. He loved this music and it's all he listened to. Still does- he's 92...
Texas Country Thing. Consider it part of the Cowboy uniform. These days a lot of folks do it for asthetics but when I was growing up in cow town East Texas it was for practical purposes. Spend all...
How could this be true? You mean to say an airline employee attempted to physically remove a person's physical belongings for said person? Isn't that called theft..or assault?
Sue puts the energizer bunny to shame.
Congrats, Jordan!
440 A sounds sour to me. A well respected fiddler, who I played with for years, would occasionally play my mando. I'd check the tuning afterwards and it was always in tune except for the A which was...
Hilarious thread if you consider the mass of personalities that make the MC so much fun while also trying at times. I know this thread started with D asking for opinions. That'll teach him.
Hi All!
Can't explain why I haven't been on other than sometimes life gets in the way. Glad to be back. Been playing as much as ever.

I've been playing my Big Horn mostly and...

It wouldn't hurt for you to set it up if it were free since a professional set up might cost just as much as your mando did new. Learn to do it yourself as it's a good skill to have. The internet is...
Play what you want, how you want but if I don't like it I might have to get up and get some water. Btw, the Anti-bluegrass police are just as annoying.
OhMMMGee... This guy. :))
I tried jamming on stage with a local reggae band and it was hard at first then was fun but I don't think I'll be getting paid gigs anytime soon. :)
I can answer this question as an official owner, they're creamy smooth play-ability and tone which is even across the board with a little more bass response than dryness makes a wonderful mando. The...
Probably the same folks that feel the need to say the Mumford Bros. are not bluegrass just because they have a banjo in the band. The poor girl that, upon learning I played mandolin, said "I love...
Dave Peter's book masters of the Mandolin is a great example of how important it is to transcribe songs for yourself. He'd transcribe just about everything he liked just for fun. The little I've...

Those silly hippies and their dancing and hula hooping. lol. I was in the back. Reminded me of two things. First is the time my mother invited over the charismatic christian group for a singing...
I agree whole heartedly with his comments about the performers aren't stilted but the audiences are. When I go to BG festivals sometimes I feel like standing up and dancing a little but the lawn...

I promise I'm not trying to be the embedding police rather performing public service. :0

This was in another post, I believe. I went ahead and embedded for you. It's a great video that bears to be repeated. :)
