Let's hone in on mandolins there (22 pages!)
(apologies for the ghastly URL, I've forgotten my BBCODE to hide it!)
...

I agree with everyone else here, while acknowledging it is inded a slippery slope (see my signature below). Especially as a beginner, it helps immensely to move up from a budget mando to a "real"...

Don't forget to try the Dunlop Big Stubby someday, they're cheap! I really like the thickest teardrops--they're my alternative to thick triangle Primetones. Also nice on the budget end (have one in...

Thank you Rob for sending me your ebook (again)!

As a quarrantine project, I'm upgrading my Rogue again. You ebook was vital the last time I did so, but that was quite a while ago, and the...

I'm so sorry there was an unexpected death in the family, and I never even got to open the pick sampler. Please PM me who I should send it to next. I can't apologize enough, I simply misplaced and...

The cat in my avatar weighs 14 lbs. That's the octave mandolin case she fits in so nicely.

Sounds like you're working with fiddle bows, not mando picks! :mandosmiley:

I don't think anyone is actually maintaining the list. It used to get copied and repasted with each new person adding...

Score! I was able to use a Mel Bay coupon code from the home page to get 25% off a PDF of Fretboard Studies, along with another technique book I would recommend for less advanced players like myself:...

Where can I buy it as a pdf? I would much prefer that to kindle.

Wow that's heavy. Here in the US people simply mock forms of music they don't appreciate or understand, which is surprisingly effective at stifling diverse listening.

Seriously though, how did you...

I like this a lot, and would have paid to try it out more, but I don't use my card for subscription I can't unsubscribe from on my own, as PayPal subscription let me do. The site creator seems like a...

Here's a first report on the Rogue project. It arrined from Musician's Friend about a week after the Memorial Day sale, and the mandolin was set up and playable, with twangy little steel strings that...

Thanks for the terminology. I've seen a bunch of these shows and really enjoyed them, particularly how some jams created what felt like pulsating standing wave patterns on the room. I've only ever...

This is the most economical edition, all three volumes in one. It comes with an MP3 CD, not the ordinary music kind. The individual volumes come with ordinary CDs.



I got the DVD as a separate...

Another Eastman owner here (515) who loves the sound of Primetones and think the Americanas sound dull and plunky. But I suspect the Americana might get a great "tubby" sound out of a different...

My planned project for June will be to follow Rob Meldrum's free ebook process to set up a basic cheap Rogue mandolin, and I'd budgeted the current street price of $60. Now it turns out that...

I've got several Freeman tweaked, along with a Cillian O'Briain, and a "Shush"' (both those via "Big Whistle" in the UK).

Thanks! I'd been looking for a good iPad abc notation app, and not finding anything adequate. This looks like just what I've been wanting,

PS: I play whistle too

My inconvenient and irrational hang up is with the traditional sunburst look. That's one reason I chose an Eastman, given a budget under $1000.

If this is too complicated shoot me down, but I have a bunch of interesting picks that are duplicated in the sampler, but I'd love to share them with others who might have more restricted pick access...

I was sooo tempted by those when they were still in production and the street price was low. At the current prices, not so much. I'll have to wait for the next cool thing to come along.

I have the single volume compilation of this mandolin method, and as a beginner the first volume has become my favorite learning resource. I confess to reading way ahead of what I can play, but I...

Just another satisfied owner of a TC OM here. I got mine from Elderly 5+ years ago, and the setup was great. Buying from the classifieds here would be cheaper. I was a newbie to stringed instruments...

I'd also love to participate. I have some picks to contribute too, ones that aren't in the picture.

I'm another lifelong non-musician whose midlife crisis took the form of learning to play a musical instrument! It's been great, once I got over the "I'm so untalented" mental trap. Never ascribe to...
