I recommend a stop at Sun Records in Memphis. That's a place with a lot of history. I went down to Memphis from Nashvillle to spend a day at Graceland, but I had some time to spend when I...
I went down to Memphis the week before IBMAs World of Bluegrass. Graceland is a must if you think Elvis still is the King. (I do) You absolutely need to go to Sun Records. An amazing place with an...

I need some help to come up with a catchy mandolin-slogan that I will use on my casecover.

I need to get my hands on Bill Malone's article "Bluegrass to Newgrass". I need this as a source for my Master Thesis about this topic. Can anyone help me out? It would be great if I could...
Howdy folks!
Have anyone any experience with Collings?
Is there a big difference between the MF and the MF5? I'm thinking in playability and tone, not the difference in looks.
Howdy folks!
Have anyone tried this new preamp? Looks pretty good, but I haven't seen any reviews yet. What do you think of it? It looks like it covers the needs of a mandolinplayer in a loud...
Howdy folks!

I have tried the Gibson Sam Bush strings and at this time I have the original Gibson 80/20 set. I have to say I like the Gibson 80/20 better than the Bush set, but that's just my experience. I have...
Well, not all of us have the opportunity, or access, to a good instructor.
I do agree that a personalized lesson is the best thing, but this is also much about inspiration. It is not the dvd's in...

I sent a request to Homespun Tapes and asked if there will be any level 5 lessons in Bluegrass Mandolin available(they only got mandolin-lessons up to level 4). Or

Howdy folks!
I'm taking a course called Popular Music Studies at the university. I have to do some research in this field and decided I would try to "pinpoint" Bill Monroes chop, and also discuss...
I've used TI medium for my old A-mando for about 5 years, not the same set of course. (Here in Norway they cost around $60!)They have a very long durability and are very easy to play(easy to slide...
That's a good explanation, hellindc.

I have written an exam about the influence of the massmedia and music. It's interesting to think about...
It will be a Master in Musicology, but this is the translation the university use. The norwegian term covers Ethnomusicolgy and Musicology. My university have a very good background in...
Wow!!! This is very inspiring! This was just the reason I started this topic. Excellent! Keep the suggestions coming!
One of the things I already have considered is the aspect of improvisation in...
I like the thought of traveling and talk to and perhaps pick a little with people. And that is included in my plans. I need to get in touch with someone and make some appointments so I can meet as...
