Sam Bush's octave technique does this. You can sort of hear the 'click' of the muted strings, but that gives a bit more to the notes.
Wes Montgomery on guitar, likely where Sam evolved from did...
That’s a burning solo. That performance is extraordinary from everyone.
What type of emando is it?
It’s too rich for my blood but it beautiful.
Wishing him the best birthday from probably the worst student he ever had.
Given the popularity of MOs and MEs I suspect 3000 is not out of the question - I suspect a lot are under beds, in barns, in attics or given to local museums where they lie out back, undocumented,...
If Monroe did it … ;)
There are over 1300 genres. How many of them are jargon, marketing and bs, I don’t know, but I’d guess somewhere around 1285. Wagon wheel is not overplayed here in Aus. I get a bit annoyed at...
I’ve never used the classifieds. I have, in the past, bought merchandise. And will again in the future.
Do the classifieds work in Australia? If I was to sell something, are there Australian...
I love the mandolin on ‘ doubting my ethical and spiritual ritualistic practice.'
It’s certainly been played. I love the patina.
The f style oval hole is something isn’t it? Just beautiful.
As I understand it, a banjolin has four strings and a mandolin banjo has 8. So banjolin is fine, provided it’s used correctly.
You’re wrong. It has been that way since before YouTube. Granted it may not sound better, but it’s easier to get the rhyth,m right, particularly if you’re new to the form. Or if you’re out of...
If someone else said this, I apologise, but a jig is usually better sounded DUD DUD… so as always there's a valid exception…
I never met bill monroe. I’m not even sure he came to australia when I became aware of him and I was in America before I really knew who he was. Although I wasn’t anywhere near Nashville then. When I...
I don’t think it’s a Gibson, but I think, provided that line is a reflection, it’s one of those pancake? Mandolins, which the army offered. It’s too round for the Gibson, I think.
On the old jazzmando site, Ted Eschliman gave the best comparison description I’ve read. I’ve linked it below.

Also, I have two banjo capos, one for banjo and one for mandolin. They fit beautifully on mandolin.
Rule 1 of music: No Pain is No Pain. (play ergonomically)
Rule 2 - we play music, not work it.
Rule 3 - if it sounds good it is good.
Use a capo if you want. I don't but that usually because...
Mandolin masters has some Sam bush transcriptions, but the best remain, as said above, Sam’s homespun tales. One on lead mandolin and one on rhythm. Sam breaks his playing down really well.
With...
Rule 1) No Pain = No Pain
Rule 2) If it sounds good, it is good.
But...
I suspect the mandolin fretboard is not wide enough to be able to articulate all the notes in a sweep. So DUDU, or UDUD...
I have two ovals - an Epiphone masterbilt mm40l and a Washburn M1. For blues, Irish and Italian and jazz and folk they are superb. The F holes can do some of those well, but like the ovals don’t do...
Last week, I flew home to regional NSW to care for my ailing father. (87, various health issues... it's a thing. I think my sister and I are just grateful for however much time we have left with...
I started guitar seriously at 19. Bass at about 24. Mandolin about 40.
