I’m sticking with my tried and true Devastator…nothing better!
A lost cause at 1.5 years…maybe you’re being just a wee bit hard on yourself…?…I would guess you’ll feel this way 20 years from now.
Anyway, instead of memorization think internalization. Know -...
I don’t think your pinky is flying, it looks normal. Try using open strings when you can, four fingers work better up the neck where the frets are closer to gether.
Also, if you want to see...
Since you already play and understand music I would not start in a beginner class. PH, ArtistWorks, Nate Lee, Matt Flinner - so many others - are all good. Might consider taking a few in...
I’m in the step back camp. Alternatively, if there’s a part you just can’t get skip it and just play something simple over it…it is not necessary to get every single note precisely as the the...
Clear your cookies, close all your tabs, websites, etc and try again. There must be a contact form over there like there is here if you have a prob.
I’d like a red one but yeah…maybe wait a bit…and, I’m in the minority but I’ll put in another plug for a light blue or cornflower color. Navy and white are nice too. No matter I have a black and a...
Yay! I love my black one mostly because I won it from a Cafe giveaway years ago when I first started playing mando. I have since acquired a khaki one and would love a red one or one in a soft...
A nice problem, if you can swing it keep it, maybe the vendor will give you a discount on it. I’ve had my F5M since 2014 and love it.
Well I vote a resounding no on banning songs/tunes/instruments/hats… Who decides and where does it stop? Plenty of tunes I don’t care for but when they are called I support the person calling them...
Agree with mbruno, get a method book and work thru it. It will take you thru basic tunes and develop your reading skill.
Thank you Jake. Love your playing, love the kitty, and especially love the joy that comes thru as you are playing.
Pretty much any selection at the $3k level would work for you, you need to examine your behavior in other parts pf your life and determine if you are the type that chases perfection, if so then just...
There is nothing wrong with doing anything that makes things on the mando easier and fun for you to do. My jam has people who use a capo and people who don't - no big deal. If someone points and...
I bought a mando about a week before I went to SK Camp - awhile ago now - and I had a blast. It's not necessary but I would brush up on chord shapes and some common tunes - just listening to them is...
Northfield has some nice hoodies and t-shirts. David Benedict used to sell hoodies and Mandolessons had some nice ones too. Unless you have already bought a strap check out El Dorado straps and of...
I finally got around to listening to the Dawg Mandolins and Beer (Weed…) Podcasts and these were mentioned. I see some are free and some are $5…totally worth it as far as I’m concerned…I’ve...
Yet, here you are.
I like the PT large triangle picks. I have several BC picks, mostly like the TAD size, not a big fan of the rounded corner but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I like the 40-60s and have an 80 but I...
Cool song, a Google search will give you lots of info but I like Mike’s teaching.

Airpods Pro 2nd gen are $169 online at WalMart for black friday an $80 savings. I have the 1st gen and lost the left pod months ago…kept thinking it would turn up and the right one works fine but...
One of these holidays I’m gonna work on the tunes BEFORE the day is here…better get going on Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Anyway, here is Dance of the Skeleton by David McLaughlin:

I have 2 mandos with James tailpieces, the silver one is tarnished. I was in the Army so I am not polishing mine…TEHO…lol!
Should is such a loaded word…that said I think you should learn whatever interests you be it Bluegrass, Classical, Punk, etc. mThen, it’s a good idea to study the professionals in your chosen genre,...
