Eddie was a wonderful, kind, positive man. A delight to have shared a bit of mandolin time with him.

Here's a bunch of O'Carolan tunes in abc with sheet music and midi files. http://www.oldmusicproject.com/occ/tunes.html

Ask and ye shall receive :) This came up in my feed today. It is all of that as he does Cold Cold Heart.

Thanks. I agree with all of that - except no, never heard of "Dawgalypso" before this thread. It's a snappy number, for sure.

I have very few recordings of these songs, possibly because I hardly...

This one hits hard. Blow By Blow and Wired were my favorites, and I wore out a few copies of each.

Check out all the categories under "Music By Genre" toward the bottom of the Forum page. Also click on "MP3 Library" under "Learn/Listen" at the top of the page. You'll find a great variety of...

I can understand valuing an instrument made by craftsman (individual luthiers) over one made by a large factory subcontractor or even a company owned factory - as most Chinese instruments are,. ...

Hi. I run a podcast called Bluegrass Jam Along. I normally keep updates about it to the 'Jams, workshops...' section of the forum to avoid spamming too much, but I thought this one might be of wider...

All right, enough of this guitar stuff, here is the mandolin version, available for all you fans at Gruhn's.

For me it all depends on where I’m starting. If I’m starting on the second fret it would be I M M R. Starting on first fret it would be I I M M. Third fret M M R R. I would probably not do I M R R if...

Wouldn't it depend on the melody? If a slide from one note to the next one up would sound good, that's the finger that will cover two notes. If there's a "breathing gap" between two notes, that's...

"Dawg Pound," haven't heard that one before. LIKE! Same thing happened to me in the 1980's when I discovered Mr. G. in the SF Bay area. Nice picture.

Mr Breeze, You polishing cloths will work great. 600 grit is fairly safe to clean up file marks without easily changing the actual height of the fret. 1000 grit is a better finish than you get on...

I loved what he did, all of it. Perfect song for understated playing, and perfectly understated playing.

Saw the new Grisman Trio @ SF Jazz last night with Danny Barnes and Sam Gisman. He talked about going into the studio soon, this was only their 3rd gig. David featured almost a dozen new tunes, and...

I have crowned worn frets on many instruments as opposed to leveling when it is just a few frets. Use a crowning file and crown the fret leaving a faint trace of the dent so you don't lower the fret....

I prefer to organize chords by logical groupings and then practice those groupings. Here is an example:168942168943

I have a different approach to my cheat sheet. It is not as easy to use as the OP's reference to simply find the chord you want, but I think it is more useful for learning how to make chords and have...

The clickers are just several pieces of metal that span three frets at a time and are dead flat. I just made some out of 1/4" thick T6 aluminum bar stock since I have access to machine tools. I have...

Just take a look at this discography:

Congrats on that rare beauty, Breeze!

While you're waiting for an answer you might want to take a look at this thread.

Here is the tune with mandolin TAB added. Enjoy!

I wrote this piece because I love glissando (slides), it is such a cool sound, but not many pieces use it enough in my opinion. So I wrote this piece that is loaded with them (about 70) so I can get...
