Tennesee Blues...

Here's what she plays in the first video. Gorgeous arrangement, super creative and super difficult. It was also a complete bear to transcribe (as I'm sure a few of you have figured out). Try not...

This should be leaving the land of Giacomel next week and headed to California. It will eventually make its way into Texas, hopefully sooner rather than later. Pretty excited!

I received this mandolin a few months back and it continues to get better and better. It was built in 1988, but had very little playing time over the years. I'm smitten to say the least. There...

Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association recently published my interview with Don. it addresses several of the questions raised in some recent threads about Red Diamond. Many thanks to...

I get a lot of emails from folks who have a tree in their backyard that is coming down, wondering if it might be good for musical instruments...
I think that this is the first time--in 35 years of...

This was my first time attending Monroe Mandolin Camp, and it was fantastic. My brain is full. Can't wait to see all my friends at the next one, and the next one, and...

In addition to learning...

I haven't completed any mandolins lately, but I have finished a few guitars. This one is a tenor guitar, and since this forum has a tenor guitar section I figured it would be OK to post a few snap...

I've never heard Love Come Home with a minor chord in it, nor Lonesome Road Blues. Friend of the Devil, Wagon Wheel, Midnight Moonlight, hardly blue grass.
Totally agree on Sittin' on Top of the...

Some of you may recall around this time last year I was going to meet up with Steve Gilchrist. Well, we met, had a great time and recorded an interview. Here is a link:

To me the only real "tutor" is the Carr book. He delves a little more into the whys and wherefores of the Monroe style where the others are simply transcriptions of Monroe tunes, good stuff, and...

There have been a few "built threads" lately, and people seem to find them interesting, so I figured... what's one more?
I debated starting this because this will probably be a long term project...

Steve is a real craftsman...

Just heard Shaun Garrity play this at Mando Tasting West...Awesome tune & thanks for transcribing!

I feel like a proud Papa.. six long months of whittling away at this but it's finally done! Basic H-4 specs but I installed a Virzi and THINK it adds to the complexity of the sound. I used Golden...

A new mandola with 16" scale and french polished finish.

[l. It would be a great service to inquiring minds if MC mandated that closing prices must be disclosed as a requirement of using the classifieds. Don't know how you'd enforce it, but if a seller...

My good friend Niccolo Alessi just sent over this set of custom tuning machines he made for a 1915 Gibson mandolin. It is pretty sweet to take the finest performing mandolin machines in the world,...

It might, RRRabbit. It might.

1959 and Elvis was King and Joe Stuart was doing his "shakey" legged best to make it happen. Note Bill's break......whole bunch of signature licks tossed in...

Joe was the ultimate...
