  2. Re: Article: Wohlfahrt Violin Studies Arranged for Mandolin

    I thought these were of greatest use to us mandolinists to learn reading standard notation in all keys.

    So adding TAB seems to defeat that purpose. Many (all?) editions already notate where to use...
  3. Re: How do you approach a complex piece of music

    Discipline: chunks, links, flow, increase tempo, isolate and polish the rough spots until every note equally comfortable, phrasing and dynamics.

    Muscle memory for tempo but also supervising visual...
  4. Re: 3rd FFcP Fourths Exercise (theory question)

    You are on course, and it will make more sense the more you use it. Might help to distinguish scale degrees from the quality of the scale degree. To make a 7-note scale of course you must use every...

    Re: Which recording device for music camp

    I've used my H1n for about a year--and H1 for six years before that--to record lessons, workshops, songs, assignments. Great for vocals, acoustic guitar and mandolin and micing bass and jazz amps....
  6. Re: Does the A vs F style price point even out eventually??

    Others have tried to interpret or rephrase your statement; I'm not sure what it means either.

    But one thing I know Collings and believe Ellis and Kimble and Dudenbostel also say is that they...

    Re: Rootless chords

    I think the key to playing a chord in which you omit one voice is to always include the 3rd and 7th (guide tones)--these are the essential bones of the chord skeleton. In your example you added a...
  8. Re: Newest thoughts re: Northfield's Big Mon Model

    Well, I think you did exactly the right thing and what I would have done, just ask the dealer how he or she can sell a new/used/NOS/whatever instrument for the low price they are asking when you have...
  9. Re: Supreme MAS: Which Would You Pick? Top Three?

    I guess it has gone without saying, so I'll say it : ) -- what a fantastic resource is Fiddler's Green! Compelling inventory, detailed descriptions and pictures, many video sound samples. All you...

    Re: Collings Pick Guard Removal

    Well, there are two holes--threaded metal inserts into which the small Allen bolts screw to secure the pick guard. But while you play they face the floor and are invisible to you and anyone looking...

    Re: Cut time, 2/2, 4/4???

    Just one more thing, tempo, right? If marked as 120 in cut time (each beat is a half-note), then quarter-notes are played at 240. So I sometimes think of cut time being used in bluegrass notation to...

    The original StroboClip certainly gets the job done and for me at least works better than any green light tuner. Probably like many my clip had broken twice with gentle music room use and careful...
