beautiful melody played oh so nicely

My little Calhoun Wide Nut came in Saturday and I got what I was after a nice even mellow tone across strings, not bright and bitting. Good to see one here likes there's. I started with an Eastman...

Some excellent thought provoking comments. First I want to apologize to anyone that inquired about my listing as I have now deleted my listing. After getting up early this morning and reading the...

listed, now excuse me I have to go throw up...

With all due respect I totally disagree with all of this...

In this case and most cases here we aren't talking about advanced professional players who are playing classical music, composed music,...

Studying music theory, scales, modes etc etc will not make you a good player but actually can be a constraint in a way...there are many more music theory buffs that can talk a good game, explain...

So I was sitting around playing stuff on my mandolin and Everyday I Have To Cry Some came along. I was doing it in a guite slower tempo G Am D that was pretty cool. Decided I'd see if there were any...

Now what was the question again? Oh yeah, now back to the regular scheduled program...you can probably better find your answer on the tube

Sorry from moving away from ireal pro...This is guitar but as long as you can hear the notes you can find them on any instrument...you can play the same lick in ANY key. Practice it to start in the...

Nursery rhymes and Christmas tunes you can hum and find the notes in 3 octaves in as many keys as possible, start with one key, one octave...ear training

I dunno, I never was a Prince fan so his name change meant nothing to me. I'll be keeping their playlist I have as "Mandolin Orange"...the song is ok but it won't be going into my MO playlist. And...

Everyone's looking for a pleasing sound to their liking. Myself I've never cared for a coated string on any instrument. Used D'Addario EJ75 and XT's on my mandolin but liked Mangan and Straight Up...

Here it is and a great tune to know and play... https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/threads/154050-Rag-Mama-Rag

Now that's it...it's that sitting natural unamplified sweet tone...it's the natural tone of the instrument in a peaceful setting or should I say sitting.



Do you have a spare chair?

I've never played a Flatiron so I'm no help there. I started with an Eastman 305A didn't know anything much about playability and tone differences on a mandolin. I kept it about 2 months. The only...

well bound to be some likers out there...I've always use the shoulder of a pick no matter what instrument I'm playing, it just gives a fatter tone to me, I never use the pick tip, just my pick...

I've only been trying to learn my way around on mandolin for about a year, played one occasionally bout 40 years ago but guitar kept me busy working jobs.
