Trim to trouble shoot a little problem tha I can’t figure out. I have a Pav A satin. (It’s new) I love it but i dont love the tuners. They re not smooth but that may not have anything to do with...
The more I play it the more I love it. This is the first instrument that I have ever bought on line that stuck. Tonight I played with a bass , big Gibson acoustic, electric guitar drum kit and a...
This was extremely helpful. And I am much more solid on single notes in that position...dare I say a bit smoother. I totally get this but barre chords still collapse my wrist as does pinky I...
Wow.!!! that video really helped me see that my hand is nowhere near where it’s supposed to be, he has his thumb wrapped all the way around at some points. That was some pure inspiration there !!!!...
leaving a space Between the hand and the neck works on open chords. Once I go up the neck all bets are off. That’s going to take a lot of practicing in a new way.. lots of work to do.
I think you are on to something with the notion of relaxing .... I find I have a death grip on that neck.
Hello all. I’m a novice ..rhythm player but starting to shift to playing breaks and riffs and all the fun stuff but I’m guitar player and I keep moving into bad positions for barre chords...I...
I can honestly see why it would be totally ok to have both the Collings and the Pava. They are different enough. I have always preferred a warm sound but there is a lot to say about the focus and...
This is interesting.. i have always loved a lush warm full sounding instrument, it never occurred to me that they would disappear in a group setting.. so i brought my pava to my group for the first...
I think you are quite correct. I am not good enough to play that mandolin well. It’s loud and not forgiving.
[QUOTE=newmanj24;1753746]Interesting, I did the same thing with a Collings MTO. I had it a couple of years and just felt like I was fighting it. I bought a Pava Pro from Carters and could not be...
I bought the wrong instrument and I knew it but as a beginner I thought that it was my skill that was wrong because it was such a nice instrument. I was very relieved when I accepted that it was the...
I think the Collings would have been great had I been a better player. When you have that much sound with not much control terrible things can happen. .
What kind of difference are you seeing between the strings it shipped with vs Straight up string? I’m always interested in trying new strings!
A while ago... over a year, i made my first post here about my struggle with the neck and sound of Collings MT. I was not in love with it but decided to stick with it. This was a mistake. The...
I have not touched my guitars since I got my mandolin and decided to sell my Goodall.... but I still love the hell out of my ukes, especially plugged in. It’s such a cool little instrument.
We have a group, 2 women and 2 men. We spend a lot of time shifting keys and changing who will sing the root until we find a mix that sounds right where everyone is comfortable. Four part harmony,...
Thanks for so much great council. I put on D/A Monel strings and was amazed at the difference, they definitely toned down the brightness, I hear the mids much more and it does indeed sound more...
That’s funny ! People always try to show me the neck and I can’t really tell if the neck is straight or not.... further I would be petrified to even think about adjusting thr truss rod. I have seen...
I already live in a humid climate, south Florida. Recently we had a snap of cool dry air, nothing severe, it was in the 50s and we had all the windows open so I’m sure the temperature was probably...
I started with light gauge elixirs and action so low it had a little fret buzz and I ignored it until I got callouses and all the chord changes and barre chords were easy. Then I got a better...
I just put them on my Collings MT and I am absolutely stunned at thr difference this has made. I love them so far. (Just on for one day). I was struggling with the brightness. I like a dryer...
This is amazing. !!! Fusion bluegrass. I love this.
This is really very cool!
..... I have been in many forums, I have never seen anything that compares to the generosity and outpouring of support as I have experienced in here. I have been reading it for a year before posting...
