Ooooooooooooooooooh! :)

Wow Rick! This covers it all. Thanks for posting.
But, of course, I have a question: it appears that the scale degrees indicated on the diagram relate to the key of G. Do the colors and shapes of...

Hi:

I will be driving up to Ashland 4/25 – 4/28 and wanted to know if there will be any fun jams in the area during that time. I play mostly swing mandolin, but play folk, rock, old timey, etc. ...

Thank you so much for Getting Into Jazz Mandolin and the JazzMando website. You provided the foundation for all of my mandolin playing and I am endlessly grateful. I wish you the best on all of your...

When this thread is finished, let's start talking about Gb.:popcorn:

Just a fine point: a robbery is the taking of property from another's person by threat or force. A burglary is the breaking and entering a structure with the intent to commit larceny (theft). This is...

I'm still working on playing relaxed and staying relaxed!

I use Thomastick flatwounds and I used to change them about every 6 mo's - not so much because of the sound as the price of the set of strings (Like $50+). But even though they're flatwounds, they...

Will you have a booth there?

If I'm not mistaken, the Copyright Act does not allow copyright protection for names and short phrases. Only trademark does that.

Most commonly, I use the Dorian mode (ii) in jazz when a minor sound is called for. Sometimes Locrian over half-dim. Don't use 'em much otherwise.

Don Stiernberg nails it. I can't remember if it was on Mandoboppin' or Swing 220, but check it out.

The last time I needed help with fingering a chord, I got such great help from the MandolinCafe folks that I thought I'd give it another go:

My go-to fingering for just about any Maj7 chord is...

Hey Donnie:

Thanks for chiming in. As you can see, the Giants' season being what it is, I have much more time for mandolin. :(

I started with the 2-2-3-7 as the easiest way to grab the B but I...

Or 5520.

Actually, I need the chord because I've been recruited to play In Memory of Elizabeth Reed at our company picnic in 3 weeks, so I'm going for that Allman Bros....

You saved me a lot of time and I appreciate it very much! If I'm reading it correctly, the first option is G-C-B the second option...

Maybe I'm off on this but I'm assuming an A-9 is an A- with a B in it. For some reason, the Brian's Huge Chordlist Collection (which is my go-to chord list site) doesn't list minor 9ths.

So far,...

So far it's me, a bass, trumpet, sax and flute. Flute player can play piano.

I don't have a recording but here's a pdf of the guitar part that I'm using:

P.S. I'm trying to avoid open strings so I can get the rhythm in my right hand to mimic the guitar in "Cut the Cake" by Average White Band.

Hi:

I'm playing rhythm mandolin on "Cantaloupe Island" at the company picnic. The chords of the song are: F-7, Db7, D7#9, B7#9b5, F/G, C13sus4, and C7#9. This is a funky Herbie Hancock tune a la...

I had epicondylitus for 8 years and almost got surgery. I had been through unsuccessful physical therapy, cortazone shots, sports doctors etc. As I was nearing my surgery, I happened upon a different...

I've met so many wonderful mandolinists and gained exposure to such rich history and interesting music over the last 7 years there. And I've learned a ton. There are some people like Karen H. from N....
