  1. Re: Anybody use alternate tunings on their mandolin?

    I regularly use GDGD. It's good for having drone notes or a partial ... clawhammer style, I guess.

    Re: Reso Mando / Mando Banjo

    I tuned mine down to GDGD and played in a clawhammer fashion for a while, though my D and A strings are nylgut. There's a guy on youtube who plays "tenor banjo clawhammer", which makes it seem like a...

    Re: Big Muddy Web Site

    I like it. It inspired me to finally settle on a Mid Missouri.

    Re: "Lagrima" - Francisco Tarrega

    Thanks for this. It's a pretty tune. It will be welcome to play something from classical guitar which I am used to.
  5. Re: Do mandolin strings typically last longer than guitar strings

    I just put Nylguts on my mandolin, but I fingerpick, so they will probably last longer than if I used a pick. My guitar's strings are probably over a decade old but it's only been the last couple...
  6. Re: Free online sources for beginner classical mandolin

    I look at the IMSLP a lot. With a little work looking through a complete score you can pick out the melody line or add some complexity. For instance, I'm thinking of putting together a mandolin...
  7. Re: Rhythm Guitar messing up my mandolin playing??

    I agree with Jim. I've played guitar for 10 years and just picked up the mandolin recently. They both have their own techniques (with some overlapping) and are also different sizes. It takes muscles...

    Re: Music Notation Software

    I was going to mention MuseScore. I have 1.2 downloaded and can't seem to pull this off. The most I encountered as far as help was "the fret diagram's in the symbols pallette."

    Re: Tremolos: How fast is too fast?

    I put 32nds into some software at 100bpm, and from what I've heard it sounds like a doable tremolo. 16ths would be too slow and 64ths would be an accomplishment. Obviously my word is a large grain of...

    Re: Tremolos: How fast is too fast?

    I am also a guitarist (sorta). A google search reveals that tremolo has a symbol. I would go with that. 32nd notes would take up a score and be a little more constricting, I think, in terms of...
