I had the K & K installed in my Eastman MD515 when I bought it from the Mandolin Store. I've used the LR Baggs Para DI and the ToneBone PZ Deluxe preamps as well as straight into my effects board. ...
I admit I didn't care for them at first, but I really like the V pick now. It's all I use. They grip so well I rarely loose position when I'm playing. Putting things away is another matter. I hate...
I thought I had, but at the time I was ready to hurt somebody and may not have. Thanks for mentioning that Martin I'll do a search and see if I did or didn't. I did post it to Pawn shop Association...
I read an article, I think it was written by Ted Eschliman, or was at least on the Jazzmando site on using the Fishman Triple Play midi interface on a mandolin. The idea was too appealing to resist,...
Since my original "Baby" a Cherry Sunburst Ryder EM-55 with double side by side Humbuckers was stolen last June I've been pretty down, but I have good news. Steve has worked his magic again and a...
It's amazing the great sounding pedals out these days. That was really smooth and sweet, not what I expected. I love the Analogman line up. I got a chance to talk a bit with Guthrie Govan (The...
I'd caution you to be careful with not adding "too much" effect. As Mr. Wrght aptly said "a tasteful." Also, the particular effect pedal you choose will make a big difference. There's soooo...
Tonight before we started rehersal and another audition I shared the forum comments with the rest of the band. It was a bit ironic that the first words out of the guitar player auditioning tonight,...
I was fortunate enough to get some lessons at Tiny's studio and get to know him a little before he passed away. Although I didn't take lessons from Tiny I had a very good teacher that I'm still...
I play western swing and jazz. Mostly the western swing tunes now since I'm playing fiddle and emando in a western swing band. It's a lot of fun working out harmony parts for the emando to play...
I would suggest "The Tenor Mandola Chord Bible," by Tobe A Richards. I've found it very helpful. Although it doesn't account for the E string I've found I can add the appropriate note, or mute...
I don't get over here as often as I'd like, but always find so much good information when I do. This is a bit off topic for the category, but not that far. I've been playing in a couple of...
Although this is probably not news to anyone I thought I'd pass along that Tiny Moore is being inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame in Mineral Wells TX this coming May. I believe Mineral...
Very nice Tom. I hope you'll share some more.
Sorry Ed, I meant to say those were all good choices. I"m most familiar with Jim and Andrew's music, but have heard Don's.
I wish I had the funds to attend your camp, but I'm still getting used to being retired and on a survivor type income. Just curous who is the makes of the electric mandolin you found?
Looking over the coming summer of camps, and clinics and noticing there really wasn't much for emando folks I thought it might be interesting to pose the question; Not that I can afford at this point...
Jon, just get a chair and sit on the front porch!! That's if it's not too cold!! I think that was my next move, but the Fedex lady beat me to it! Keep us posted with pictures and such!
Yes, Ed,...
Here's a couple of links to demo the Ryder, as promised. I recorded with a little Tascam DR 03. I use a Fender Twin amp with a Weber California and Canabis Rex speakers. The volume is about 2.5,...
Hey John,
I was thinking last night this is like having two beautiful girlfiriends and decided that would just get me in trouble so I just better say I have two beautiful instruments. .....and...
Thanks, that was a good read. I recall reading somewhere else that fiddle and mandolin were very common in early blues, not to mention most of the parlor music of the late 1800's through 1930's. ...
You're right Tom. This was built by Steve Ryder. This is the nicest instrument I've ever owned. The pickups are balanced (no weak E), Absolutely "no noise" in any position including split coil on...
Being impatient I went out to make sure the doorbell worked (just changed the battery) and the Fedex lady walked up with my package!. I can't always claim such good timing, Here's a few pictures...
C mionr (E flat). The first 4 signature chords are C minor - C minor (Major 7) - C minor 7 - C minor 6. The B, or middle section of the song sounds more like E flat.
