    Re: Marty Stuart cd recommendation

    Way out West is a great record, and accords with the sort of classic country you outlined above.

    And seeing him live with the Fabulous Superlatives is a joy. If he's in your area, be sure to go:...

    Caterina Lichtenberg's Artistwork's Course

    Hi, all. I'm wondering if I don't read music (or read it at a very rudimentary level) whether I'll get anything out of Lichtenberg's course. My overall level, at least in folk idioms, is pretty high,...

    Mandolin Mutes?

    Simple question: anyone know of anything like a mandolin mute? I have a mute for my fiddle, and I'd like something similar for my mandolin. I've noticed that my practice (picking technique) is...
  4. Re: Intermediate Mando - Good Mando to Step up to?

    I started playing about five years ago, and I'd say I'm pretty comfortably between Intermediate and Advanced. I have an Eastman 515, and it's all the mandolin I think I'll never need. I've played...

    James Tailpiece on Eastman MD 515?

    Hi, all. Recently the tailpiece on my Eastman MD 515 broke. Broke, you say? Yeah, one of the little tongs on which the loop ends of strings attach broke off. No idea how it happened--I just picked it...

    Any idea if the Bluegrass Music Shop from the pick is still in operation? There's no area code, so I've got no idea where it might be. But if it's local and still open maybe they can help identify...

    Re: 3-Part Chris Thile Master Class online

    Very cool. Has anyone been able to determine if a "ticket" enables you to watch the stream after it airs -- or can you only watch it "live" in real-time? I have kids, and the chance of me being able...

    Not a video, but here's a recording I made of "Whiskey Before Breakfast." Given that it was just St. Patrick's Day, and that many of us are housebound with young children, I figured it was an...

    "Dark" Fiddle Tunes?

    So I play lots of fiddle tunes, and they're a generally pretty bright and peppy bunch of songs--and fun to play, of course! I, however, am not always (in fact, rarely) feeling bright and peppy.

    Re: What instrument is the hardest? My experience

    My experience, for the little it's worth:

    I started on mandolin about four years ago, and then picked up an acoustic guitar, an electric bass, and, most recently, a fiddle.

    The mandolin was...

    Re: Starting Left-handed or right

    This thread inspired me to try and play my mandolin left- handed. I'm a righty.

    My brain hurts, and I'm humbled. I'm never trying that again.

    Any ambidextrous players out there?

    Also, I'd...

    Re: Starting Left-handed or right

    In my opinion, writing and picking are the closest analogues one can find when comparing mandolin-playing to an everyday activity. One uses the thumb, index finger, and wrist in both activities, in a...
