I think it's a great time to get an octave. In your price range I would look for a used instrument and maybe see if you can stretch just a little bit more...I know...but for an extra hundred or so,...

Man, tough to explain with the written word... The tune is in 4/4, but measure 7 of each verse is in 2/4. The trick is to half chop (accent beat 3) the 4/4 measures, and regular chop (on beat 2)...

You may have an easier time if you watch a stripped down version on Youtube. No distracting background, and you can watch his right hand.

So here is a video from another thread which struck me as being a good example of vocal accompaniment and support of a guitar lead.

Merry Christmas everyone! Today is the day we celebrate the birth of Love.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
Yes, I do, but only when I want the open strings to change. For instance, a lot of E Dorian tunes sound great capo'd to II and played with D Dorian fingering (there is one example of this in my book,...
I always post this clip when inspirational OM players come up. It's Ale Möller, playing a Latmandola. Not exactly an OM, but a Swedish variant with a low course on a longer nut. Not exactly a Cittern...
And let's not forget Mark Knopfler.... no really... OM-based intro starts 3:50 in:

Hey everybody! sorry I haven't posted in a while. my computer was broken. Either way, here's some Beaumont Rag!
I've learned the hard way not to tote around my own mic's and ask a unknown soundman to use them. Some can, most can't. And most run away from condensers. And single mic's can just make them stare at...
Using a single condenser in a live setting, particularly a live outdoor setting, is going to depend heavily on the soundguy. If there's any way for your band to regular practice with a PA and the...
The FET 'preamp' in the mic is really just a buffer amplifier - not to be confused with what you might call a "full blown" preamp as you might use for recording, or as found on a desk.
Your ART...
I only use my ART pre with the 990 when I don't have phantom power available. The ART may have added too much gain.
I've used this mic for the past 10 years with very few feedback instances. We do not use any external devices(preamp, EQ). We just plug into a Yahama powered mixer. We ues two small condensers for...
I don't have this mic, but a couple of things in your message popped out at me:
Why are you using a preamp -- the specs at the MXLmics web-site says it has an FET preamp built-in. Isn't that...

No. Technically speaking. Simple as that.
The fact is that an acoustic guitar amp (we are not talking electric guitar amps here, because they are totally different), but strictly acoustic amps,...
Ok, here it is.

I'm impressed by this bloke - he's a cafe member. This is a good introduction to jig rhythm. I think his advice is spot on: feel the rhythm and get your right hand into the groove before...
Shell is not toxic, but it is hazardous. There is a difference.

This is worth relating, I think, as it is a very common problem, though not everyone goes quite as far as the person involved in this case.
A guitar playing friend contacted me to ask for some...
Bought this recently. What a mistake! Should have been titled 'Dull & Worthless Licks'. This is a very disappointing collection of licks. Few of them are interesting at all. Few are memorable. It...
I love Christmas music,and I particularly love Christmas music on mandolin. Please post recordings of yourself (or your ensemble, band, etc.) playing Christmas music OR post your favorite recordings...
