"What I am trying to say is that a person has to be born with the gift of music for technique and theory to help them play better."
Remember that line form my original post? Seems like I said that...

I AM NOT against learning theory or proper technique. All musicians should try to learn to play with proper technique and try to learn at least a little theory.
What I am trying to say is that a...

Don't know if this will help, found it on YouTube.

Hey Frank, after listening to your video clips and reading about how you can pick out a melody by ear, I with seriousness, think that you would be a natural on the banjo. Have you checked out The...

I think Jimmy Page is an awesome musician even on mando, dispite what some here on the forum think of his technique.

I simply love the tiger stripe on the back of that mando.

Either way IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC, is it not?

As long as we don't try and say you can't play without it. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif[/QUOTE]

Guess I'm just a contray kind of person who should learn more theory. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Well, dang, ya'll have just about talked ME into getting an Eastman as my second mando.

P.S.
Check this out, I think I'm in LOVE.

Sounds like a great idea. Even if we could just input some TAB and see if anything matches up that'd be good.

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif Is that a real DVD. Ya'll got to be pullin' my leg, right? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
And here's a...

LOL, kind of like the way I like to push buttons and make jokes about things all the time. Guess we've all got our part to play in this big ol' world....

No, I'm not saying I'd teach someone to play guitar like that. What I am saying is that technique and theory are not the end all and do all of Music. The sound you hear is the end all and do all....

And we don't need no stinkin' drummer. LOL. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

But he is known as one of the greatest Musicians of all time. Guess being a great Musician doesn't mean much if you don't have proper technique. Oh, wait, ever heard that blind guy that plays guitar...

I guess I'm still ticked off because back in my Rock n' Roll days I could NEVER find a dang drummer to start up a band. That's why I went Bluegrass, no drummer needed....

After reading this:

Eastman all the way. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hey, that's one I knew on guitar. I'll have to see if I can pick it up on mando too. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Congrats on the new mando. Just don't scratch, dent or otherwise do harm to it or you'll never forgive yourself. :cool:

LOL, No, I'm talking about a full kit like Neal Pert from Rush would use. I guess a single drum, like used in Irish Folk music would be ok since it's portable and easy to fit on the porch. ...

I could swear I just saw Jimmy Page use his thumb in the song "Battle of Evermore" on YouTube. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Ok, I downloaded version 0.8.2 and it looks to be runing fine now, also a lot faster. Thanks again Mike for the suggestion.

So does this mean we'll start seeing drummers in Bluegrass bands now? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
