Appalachian Bluegrass in Catonsville, MD isn’t too far away.
I totally can relate. My approach was to focus on something completely different musically - stepping away from bluegrass and mando and focusing on guitar. I realized I had some guilt or what not...
What a trip! We were just in Duluth for the first time for a wedding last month. Nice place.
What year is the mandolin? Do you know what kind of wood it is?
Just wanted to share my new axe - meet "Stella"!

I've been wanting a 5 string e-mando for some time, mostly to not drive my wife crazy but also because I love the options with the lower...
Yes, and there is research to support it. I've been reading "The Practice of Practice" and there is a whole chapter devoted to it ("Going Mental").
See...
For me it's about playing with others. I get into streaks of practicing daily which I enjoy but I struggle to find the time to play at jams or with others.
Thanks for these. I spent a few insomniatic moments getting low with "Hurt". Fun stuff and keep them coming!
Folks, thanks for the thorough and thoughtful replies! I learned much more than what I asked about.
Hi all,
I'm starting to listen to Andy Statman's Jazz Mandolin audio lessons and right from the get go I am stumped by a G7 chord he is playing as part of the 12 bar blues.
Below is the audio...
My Portuguese is not great, but I think the label indicates that it was from an instrument shop in Funchal, on the island of Madeira. The street address is Rua dos Tanoeiros #38.
Hi all,
My co-worker owns a very old bandolim that his great, great grandmother purchased somewhere in New England around early/mid 19th century. He is looking for information about it. It's very...
So cool. I loved "Us and Them".
Hi all,
I'm heading down to Brazil for a short trip the week of 9/28. I will most likely be in Sao Paolo the whole time and would love to catch some music. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance....
Love these threads - you all have just added hours and hours of new listening and learning for me!!!
I was fortunate enough to catch a free show in Buffalo last night where Yonder Mountain String Band played two awesome high energy sets. I had caught them for the first time at the Dear Jerry show...
I think this is fabulous. Chris has a bit of vaudevillian, Jethro-ish, Apollon-esque quality to him. He's really an entertainer. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPh9jbUC2VI
Can't wait to see...
Happy Spring everyone.
I've been working on my rhythm playing lately and was curious how far you all have taken the drums to mandolin connection.
I'm fascinated by it. Listening to Jacob...
I like to call myself a Mando Whacker.
Hi all,
Thought I post the output of our jam last night. I'm taking a Wernick Method jamming class and am excited to improve!!!!
Any ideas for good mando breaks for this tune, please advise....
Who knew!

2014 was the year I came back to mandolin, for good. I had played on and off since college. Mid-life crisis or what not, I decided to pick it back up for reals this time. I signed up with ArtistWorks...
No no, that would be BAD karma. She has had it evaluated - it's a 1920 A2 in VG/Ex condition, with original HSC in ex condition. No cracks, a little bit of separation at the back seam, and a slightly...
So my neighbor saw something I had posted on Facebook recently - a video of Bernardo de Pace, and commented that she was a fan of the mandolin, and that her grandfather played, and she had his...
Watching this now - totally awesome. Love the African instruments and the Stradolin!
