Anyone going?

Did anybody say "Hurdy Gurdy Mandolin"? Sorry Mandolin if they did!

there is a discrepancy regarding the dates of the concert. The Mandolin Cafe Homepage states "November 15" and the article states "October 15".

Which date is the correct one?

Does anyone have mandolin tablature for Hot Rize's Sky Rider?:confused: Even the chord progression would be a helpful start.

Imhave been "learnin', for a little over two years. I took 101 last year and followed with an "intensive course" (not 102) . While I would prefer to think I could handle 102 I decided that I am Gonna...

This got over 7000 hits! My mando (Grady #65 - see my avitatr) has a hollow...

Good advice from all. I especially like John R's comment...."bite me"! Gonna see the two brothers this weekend. Can't wait to try that out on them!

I do think they are trying to let me play (if I...

I love your Grady. Almost bought it myself three years ago but decided on a more traditional neck. I purchased Grady #65 (See my avitar). It was my first mandolin. I have not been disappointed. Grady...

I have a question about Jam etiquette. I am a relative beginner to mandolin (two years) and have essentially no one with whom to play regularly. My two brothers play (banjo and guitar) but live in...

Allen, the strings are sharp less than a half-tone. Maybe I will compromise and leave the mandolin in the case when I know that I will not be around to play for a few days! However, leaving it out...

Thank you all for the fast (and furious) feedback (FFF). It seems that there are a lot of differing opinions about whether to leave the mandolin in the case between playing sessions but everyone...

I keep my F-5 on an instrument stand between uses. I generally play a little every day or two. The room has central heat and air conditioning (heat on now and the room stays around 68 degrees). The...

Check out Smokehouse Band from Corinth, Mississippi. They have been together for over 30 years. Reasonably priced.

Congrats on the wedding!

No, not at all. I love the hat, but my big head makes the bill look smallish. I suspected the camera angle was the issue. I would have still ordered this had I known. The quality and construction...

The Bill on my new hat is smaller (shorter and narrower at the front) than the one in the photo. While the hat seems to be more substantial than the other one I purchase a year or two ago the bill is...

I don't think the banjo player even needs to be loud!

A classical violin professor at a local college attended my church for several years. We had a small group of musicians who played traditional and bluegrass music. He joined us for a while. Was not a...

Matt Flinner's course has given me insight into what IMPROV can be. He teaches a systematic (cerebral?) approach to learning "a way" to begin improvising (basically memorizing tunes and variations...

I echo the comments above, especially about Matt's patience. There is a lot of personal interaction with Matt in the "CHAT ROOM" and many of the students have great insight and suggestions as well....

Learn to crawl before you walk (or Run!). Check out this website <www.williamnesbit.com>

Good luck and be patient. I am two and a half years into this "beginner" thing (still a member of the...

Check out Matt Flinner's on-line course (www.mattflinner.com/2013/09/bluegrass-mandolin-101-with-matt-flinner/) . An hour (or longer!) twice a week for 8 weeks ($200!!)! I am finishing my first...

Odd, I tried the Mandocafe tabs site but guess I missed it. Thank you.

He may offer Skype lessons?

Thanks Mike. I guess I should want to learn all of those others also, huh?
