Anyone else seen this new Eastwood MRG Series?

Mandolin, mandola, mandocello, tenor, ukulele, guitar, and more, all with F5 styling. I’m not...

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...

As the title says, Carlo Aonzo has put out a signature pick:

One of my musical heroes. Get well soon, Andy!

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...

First, this video by Aaron Weinstein is just amazing:

Second, and here's my question: does anyone know how he's making...

Alright, thanks folks. Looks like I might have to find some time to get out to Lexington.

I'll soon be in Boston for a work-related trip, and I'm thinking at some point I'll try to find the time to stop by a music store. I'll be in the Back Bay area, so Cambridge and central Boston are...

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.
...

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...

Likely this has been posted before, but I just came across this video from the Philharmonia Orchestra and Nigel Woodhouse, and really enjoyed it, especially the excerpts from different classical...

Thanks for the review--very informative!

I know it's silly, but I'm particularly interested in this e-mando given your description of it as playing like an acoustic, but with no real volume when...

No need to ban mods, I keed, I keed.

(Not really.)

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...

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...

What's the easiest/cheapest way to do multi-track recording? I'd like to be able to record some singer/songwriter type stuff on the acoustic guitar, and then add some mandolin parts. Any...

Well, that's the question, alright. Anyone have any idea what emando Thile's playing?

Some chop advice, that I've not often seen articulated on the forum, but that I recently received and is making a lot of difference in the effectiveness of my chop (and no, I don't always chop, but...

My advice: take the mandolin you love playing most. You're going to be in one of the most beautiful places in the world (Telluride), and you should enjoy it as much as you can. Lots of people leave...

I just pre-ordered the record, so I'll find out soon enough, but are there any vocal tunes? I'm imagining Michael Daves maybe singing a song or two, while also handling guitar duties (much like Tim...

New Andy Statman record? Best news ever!!

Tomorrow is going to be an awesome new-release day; I think the new Tim O'Brien record is out, too. (I'll be buying both.)

I know there are lots of video lessons for double-stops out there (and I've done a few myself), but who, in your opinion, offers the best/clearest/most useful ones? In other words, which lessons most...

I was playing "Eighth of January" the other day (probably on Jan. 8), and it got me thinking: what other fiddle tunes were borne from a very clear historical context, like "Eighth of January" was...

Does Norman sing on this record? (I hope so.)
