Plenty of examples here of mandolin and electric 5-string mandola played with techniques and vocabulary drawn from a variety of other instruments, in a varierty of genres.
I've been doing this...
This will probably sound "heretical", but the last time I listened to the Kinda Blue album (4 or 5 months ago), I thought that the best solos came not from Davis or Coltrane, but were those played by...
My views on electric mando playing are probably contradictory to so-called "norm" on the topic. (I will exempt the electric Tiny Moore, jazz archtop hollow-body guitar style of playing, from my...
The player's own technique is almost going to be much more important than the choice of plectrum, strings, etc., so an over obsession with the latter isn't going to be a/the miracle cure for your...
Here's what I had beginner students do to monitor their playing with this issue.
Slightly de-tune one string of each pair of strings, so that it is noticeable. and you can hear the...
Flower pots, vines, inlays, etc.:
I'm sure if one was to spend enough time doing image searches of Art Nouveau images (Mucha, Grasset, Beardsley, Privat-Livemont, Wm Morris, Walter Crane etc....
How do you know that the air conditioning wasn't turned to "cold"? When/if the soundstage is 10 degrees cooler than the green room, the pre-entrance tuning can be moot. Been there done that.

Way over 50% of tone comes from the player's hands and fingers. And it is BOTH HANDS. Too often the fretting fingers are not given enough attention.
I did a workshop at Kaufman's Kamp back in...
Oh come on! It's not something "brand new".
I've been using right hand fingers for 40 years, usually in the hybrid Tele pick+finger(s) style of guitarists like James Burton, Richard Thompson,...
The problem with playing oldtime tunes/songs on mandolin is that too often it comes off as sounding bluegrassy.
Mandolin can be played in a manner where it does sound oldtime, but it requires a...

How a Chance Encounter Launched a Revival of Irish American Music
March 15, 2018 | Mick Moloney ...
On fiddles and mandolin, tunes in F have a different flavor than the same tunes played in D.
Why?
It all has to do with the relationship of the open strings to the key you are playing in. In...
It is simply a quick explanation of how moving the closed pattern up or down the neck will give you a different scale. By lowering the first finger to the 4th fret and starting on the B...
GRAPE JUICE FAST
(concord grapes are best, red and black are OK. don't use green/white grapes)
There's a lot of stuff about this, in numerous variations, on the web.

FUN FACT! You don't need another program!
Just RIP YOUR cd track to your hard drive. Once it is a FILE, you can play it back on your "media player" at whatever tempo (from 50% - 200%) that you...

What on earth are you talking about? I guess I'm just too stupid to understand that "mandolin" uses completely different scales and notes, and a completely different way of constructing "chords"...

Not surprising, but everything here seems to be focused on lead/melody playing and not much about the instrument used for accompaniment.
