I'm looking for a really good recording of Reuben on mandolin, looked on YouTube but not finding a killer break. Anyone know of a great mandolin recording?

I've been working a lot this week, I'll get back to it next week and post what I find. Thanks for all the advise.

Maybe I'm just older and have a hard time remembering but the pattern thing sounds the same on the banjo, I can move all over the neck and don't even have to know the specific notes or even most...

I play banjo and have learned by ear, I can pretty much play a song just hearing it BUT as most banjo players, I use a capo. I can play most 3/4 waltz tunes without a capo in any key. I'm trying to...

I gave $300 for it, but I looked it up and saw they were selling for $1000 new so took a chance. Added about $150 in bridge and jig and some other stuff. I'm going to pull the bridge and look at it...

I'll work on it after church, it might be just a crappy $1000 mandolin lol!

Actually, I raised the action after I initially started playing it with the new bridge just to see if I could get a little more volume out of it which it did give a little bit but it really doesn't...

Ok, I'll check the bridge tonight. Thanks

I'll try to look at the bridge slots tonight, it was slotted by Comberland Acoustics and I don't want them any deeper, got a little wiggle room but I carried the mandolin to a guy that does repairs...

1/8 inch at 12th. I have the relief pretty slight, maybe a business card thickness at the 7th and 8th fret while fretting at 1st and 14. The D string does have a slight bit of fuzziness to it but...

I set up a lm700 loar Mandolin. I bought it on eBay damaged, it had no bridge, a bad spot on the finished and for whatever reason the first inlay marker was gouged out. I put on a new Cumberland...

I can do it, I replaced all the frets on my banjo several years ago and it still playing fine. I've just not done a lot of frets other than that. I think I did a pretty good repair on the inlay dots...

If I want to level frets, do I need to take the relief out of the neck then level frets?

Thanks for the input, I'm going to try some lighter strings and file and dress a couple frets and see how it plays then.

Ok, the neck on my Loar LM700VS drops off or slopes down after the neck joint. Looks like it starts about the 14th fret. Is this a common thing? I guess it's the fret board extension joint maybe?...

I made a change in measure 8, plus measure 7 is hard to figure so take it as what you feel is right but I believe the notes are there might be some more pic movement in between. Here is what I...

OK, here is the PDF. I thought I put the credit info on the tabledit file but its not there so I put it on the PDF, I need to give credit to my daughter Jenifer for working a few hours on this with...

When I get off work tonight I'll convert it to a PDF and put a copy on here. Considering how long ago Blue Highway recorded this song I'm surprised nobody's tabbed it out before now.

OK, here is what I have. Let me know what you think. Getting all the rhythms just right was hard so when you play this it's gonna be kinda close but I believe the tab is good to go as written. just...

No, Lonesome Pine by Blue Highway, it's a great song and the opening break is what I tabbed. I haven't seen tab for it but you can listen to it online.

I got a new to me Loar LM 700 for Christmas and tabbed out the song Lonesome Pine as played by Shawn Lane. Trying to figure out how I can post it and see what everybody thinks. I'm by no means a...

When my banjo does this it's almost always the nut pinching the strings. It will hang up in that slot and when you tune the mandolin and then play it'll let go and cause your strings to go flat every...

OK, I got the mandolin in the mail yesterday and other than the cosmetic issues its fine. I bought a Cumberland bridge and the sanding jig. I sanded it very close but seems like I cant get the very...

I've had John work on a banjo neck for me, he's a good guy.

I bought a Loar LM-700 that needs some repair and a bridge. I might put a bridge on if the mandolin looks ok as far as not broken and can actually support a bridge and the pressure. I'm hoping all it...
