You are awesome!!! This is the type of bedtime music I have been looking for...I tried to put a hodgepodge of things together for my son, wanting it to be more like this, but this totally does the...

Can you elaborate? Are you saying he shouldn't play fiddle tunes? Or are you saying he should play them and not take fancy solos....if one does play fiddle tunes, should they just play it straight?...

The Hackensaw Boys have this verse:

Don't drink my liquor till I get back
Fourteen miles to Cumberland Gap!

Don't know why that one stands out in my head?[/B]

I do it occassionally at a local Farmer's Market, sit there and put the empty case out...I once made 50 bucks, but can you believe the people who toss in pennies, or small change? What do I look...

Although challenging, the insert book from Chris Thile's video has nice arpeggios and scales in it, requiring you to do many position shifts.

Yeah, you should HEAR it....it seems to still sing to me a full minute after I've picked a note...can't wait to hear it open up more over the years...

It has probably been said 1,000 times, but I say go play them, then buy. I LOVE Webers, but that's cause I love a thicker neck...the feel of it in my left hand. Some people like necks with less chunk...

Hate to bring up an old thread again, but I wanted to shamelessly self promote...as of today I am ranked #1 over at soundclick in the acoustic folk and the overall acoustic chart! My song Lost and...

Is there anyone here that has competed in a festival mandolin contest? I was wondering what a typical judges panel looks for. How much emphasis is placed on tone, technique, etc. Could an...

OK, thanks to your advice I now have an EZFolk page. You're right, it seems more geared to what I do.

Thanks guys, keep sharing! We read about each other...

I'll try that out! In the mean time, my song "I Knew" is #11 on the acoustic rock chart....if you all could play it again today, well, you know, I would feel good and stuff to see it in the top 10...

I have Clarion instrument insurance. When you get up in the 15 grand range with all your stuff, I think it's worth it. Someone broke into the house next to mine last spring, so if it would have been...

Yeah, I agree, big hands don't necessarily translate to master like playing. I have huge hands, which are good for guitar and my octave mando, but with mandolin, it doesnt' help all that often. If...

Cool stuff! #I like it! #I don't get to hear alot of jazz mando.[/QUOTE]
Back atcha, dudlebug (that's the standard nickname I use for son!!)!

Nicely recorded, too - what's your set up??[/QUOTE]...

That's a bad-a$* version of Long Black Veil! Nice job Terry, love the other ones too!

Cool stuff! I like it! I don't get to hear alot of jazz mando. I have made a myspace layout at the same time I made the soundclick one. Here it is:

Hey all,

My brother in law used this site to post some music we did and I tried it out for the first time last night. It's pretty cool and the basic version is free. Anyone else here on...

He's got a nice article in the latest edition of "Wonderful West Virginia" magazine as well...check it out if you can get a copy! Great magazine with great pictures of my beautiful home state! Makes...

Saying whether someone inspires you is like saying whether or not you like a certain style of music, an artist, etc...it all depends on taste. My opinion is that I respect him for creating a...

I think many of us have had the same thought about you, Dan! Would you like to play a few of my mandolins and an octave?

Hey Don, what's your new job? Still working up in the WV or have you defected to Loudoun like me yet?

Eric
(the guy you installed the Fishman pickup on my HD-28 for, also met you at a spring...

I bought it, it's pretty good but had way more piano on it than I had expected...almost a piano album accompanied by bass and other instruments. The piano and bass do definitely rule the songs, and...

Please stop this thread! It's pointless! It's like saying "My wife is the most beautiful wife in the world". Sure, I think she is, but one of you may think she looks like something you saw at the...

thanks guys, I'll be experimenting some more...I wish there were seminars or camps (ala mando camps) that I could go to to learn basic recording and editing techniques. I need to try to find someone...
