Well I haven't been active for quite some time and I must admit its because I've been playin my 6 string guit a lot more often. Here's a song I worked up with a couple minor screw ups of course. Have...

Alright, so I heard a song a while back on Pandora and I haven't been able to find it since. The title is "Wearin the Blues" and its has an awesome banjo solo in it that I really want to let my banjo...

I will be moving down to Tucson here this summer. People speak even less of Tucson but I like it and U of A is the place for me for the next 5-7 years. Time to start rolling on with my career goals I...

Oh my, you guys gave me a good laugh about this ol place. First off allow me to say, I love Arizona with all of my heart. Consider the fact I have not traveled a whole lot but I know of few other...

Hahahaha Ive always wanted an accordion, those things are right up there with mandolins as far as price is concerned. Even the smaller well made concertinas will run well into the...

So, my lady friend would like to jam with our little bluegrass group that were developing. She only plays piano, anyone know of some good examples of some BG piano? I cant seem to think of any off...

I have been a long time head banger myself lol, went from punk rock to heavy metal to techno to indie rock and somehow I found my next suitable step in bluegrass. Theres just something homey about...

I know nothing about Kay instruments and if it would even be...

I've never owned a Fender, I've always wanted a Telecaster though. I have had 3 Ibanez bass guitars (thats what started my string instrument infatuation) moved onto a REALLY bad starter kit electric...

I have a close friend whose father bought a high-end Ovation guitar back in the 70's and has kept it through the years. It is probably my favorite guitar to play, the way that thing sings with the...

Well for a cool $300 it'd be hard to beat a nursed up Maestro here in AZ. My Savannah would have cost me close to that straight outta the box if it hadn't been for my trading some old equipment. Im...

I like that one a lot Pipeous, I am finding myself attracted to the light skinned ones these days. If you ever wanna get rid of it shoot me a message. I too would like to get a nice mando this year,...

Mandolin Acquisition Syndrome = MAS

I didn't catch it either Kip, I had to ask a few weeks back :redface:

Thanks for all the input folks, I think I decided against the Dylan tune.. Its just a very emotional song for me and it makes me think of my grandmother not being around anymore. I think that...

A bluegrass adaptation of the music those three guys play while the Titanic was sinking.

I would like to sing, I have a low end voice and don't know how to use it all that well but some things I am comfortable with. I like to sing a lot of Johnny Cash and I mentioned that Bob Dylan song...

So I am interested in getting some info on Ovation Mandolins... I like their acoustic guitars, I see their design is far and apart from that of most mandolins but would appreciate some opinions from...

I would like to cut back on the less than productive hobbies I have acquired (Coors Light and Amateur Movie Critic) and focus my efforts more on sitting on the back patio and letting my Mando ring...

I am so new to the mandolin world, but I can already feel the tingle of MAS in the back of my brain as I comb the classifieds in full view and scroll down The Mandolin Store's inventory. It doesn't...

Well folks, I hate to say it and I almost feel strange asking for some advice on the subject, but my grandmothers health is declining.

It had been a couple years since I had last seen her until...

So, I am interested in getting some info on what exactly all these different parts of a mando are. I keep seeing things like "fully bound" and I dont know what they mean. Does anyone know of any...

We had a whopping 66 degree Christmas here in Phoenix. It was quite nice out if I should say so myself :))

So Im looking for a place to go and listen to and/or play some good tunes on the mando. Im really looking for any genre of music, I keep hearing people talking about jazz and classical Mandolin, I...

Ill do the same for mine, I gotta include his little harmonica lick in there too, its a part of the song that always makes me smile :grin: Im waiting for my Hohner Special 20 in the mail!

So Im interested in converting some of Woody's old songs to mandolin jams. I dont think it will be particularly difficult because most of his songs basically follow some standard chord progression....
