I would absolutely love to hunker at Skype with a like-genred mandolin player. I play a bunch of non-bluegrass (celtic, choro, latin, italian, etc, mostly Irish). ~Jen

Here's the music (notation) on Session.com:

click the 'sheetmusic' tab.

I surely love this tune as well, and it's in my list of tunes to...

When I play fast, my noting clarity and tone go out the window, and I'd rather sound good than fast. I can play fast-moving tremelo, but fast tempo is difficult. I sure would like to know how to...

In the BlackHawk car museum, surrounded by cars of course, at a dinner thing, for some French consulate (and we were frisked by security before going in!)

On the Wine Train, which goes up the Napa...

Well, You take the M.M. segments, I'll take the D.G segments, and we'll work it on out. ;-)

Got it. Great advice. I didn't specify though, how far off of the original position ; looks like a little over a 1/8 inch on the 'e' side, and less than an 1/8th on the 'g' side. Maybe the...

Oh , I didn't mean like that I *see* it moving, I just meant in theory, how I understand the instrument moves under tension, in heat, in cold. I leave on e and one g under more tension to test...

Hello Hans, yes, very sage advice. I have a few friends who are very knowlegable about mandolin construction, and well, it was from their advice I try moving the bridge. I never have more than...

Bridge is straight up, flush with the top. Thanks Jim !

Recently I changed the gauge on my strings (D'Addario J74's) and I don't know if that was the cause, but I noticed the intonation was off at the 12th fret, pretty far. So last night I put a fresh...

Oh, see, I don't have my cronology straight, for sure. :)) It's evident that the quintet conception was still maliable at the time.

Alan quote "I was referring to a studio recording where Dawg had Statman on 2nd mando, circa 1978,79. "

Hey,...

I did not know that Alan. Thank you. I'm learning as this thread expands....

To me, these records around Quintet '80 were before I was really sentient in the acoustic instrumental music, and pre-mandolin playing years. I started collecting Dawg recordings (later cd's when...

Wow you explain it so well. I didn't realize Quintet '80 was such a situation, though I suspected as much. I too had an old beat-up tape someone lent me of Quintet '80, and I think that was the...

Wow, thanks. I will surely find some friends here to jam with when we get our webcam. One thing I have always wanted to try is composing and playing harmonies with another mando, but in the flesh,...

Wow, I can't believe a tenor guitar forum. I have a Martin tenor, mohogany, nothing fancy, that I've got tuned GDAE. I have a difficult time getting it to sound bright, and it's likely the...

I think Quintet '80 was one of the great albums, he definitely played a Monteleone Grand Artist on this record, and M.Marshall was 2nd mando I believe. Some of the tunes got rerecorded on Dawgwood,...

Thanks MLT. I am only looking for incentive to get a webcam, of course. ;) I was hoping I could 'practice' with my long distance friends. And maybe some of you here on Mandolin Cafe that I have...

Hi everybody. I was wondering if any of you have a webcam that you use to practice with others a distance away. I imagine there's some sort of time offset lag, but, just wondering if it's possible...
