I have one F style (my trophy wife mando) and she's the most valuable instrument that I own. I had such anxiety about taking her anywhere that I eventually adopted her poor cousin (my beater).
I...
I feel like a noob again and all my girls (mandolins/mandola/bouzouki) feel new to me. The music is coming back quicker than my hands.
I'm so sore right now but I don't care. I keep reaching for...
Grrr...
Can't seem to rotate the image

I got the Goldtone OM800+
Current it has unison pairs, but may do octave pairs on the and D. I like the way it sounds.
It's been a few years since I've played (due to neck issues and life) and got the bug again after playing at a funeral for my aunt.
I'd stopped playing our local sessions when it got moved to a...
Mandolin in Hardcase = Carry-on; briefcase, diaper bag = personal item. Southwest let me fly with both no extra charge. I also checked a bag.
My guitar playing brother gate checked his and...
I started trying that, but it's a lot for Mr to process. I'd just started to learn to read music before my neck problems started.
I just got back into playing last month. It's been two years....
Yeah, the jury is still out on whether or not to have two courses or three as octave pairs. Sometimes I like it (strumming) or not (melody). I need to learn my mandola chords so I can chime in on the...
I haven't posted in awhile. Neck issues had been affecting my hands.
I have a GT OM-800 on the way and thought it was strung up in octave pairs (it's not) and wondered if I could do this. I tried it...
I originally bought it because I thought the case was going to be nice. I assumed (wrongly) that the mandolin would be of Rogue quality and playability.
The case was junk (Styrofoam wrapped in...
I highly recommend them for the price even if its not the power plate.
I still play mine at sessions and just noodling (unless the kids are sleeping).
All kinds if fun for a buck and a half.
As for Hora, I bought one of their bouzoukis and felt that i got MORE than I paid for. The instrument does feel a bit light, but mine played well right out of the box. Warning, their cases are not...

Wow! forgot about this thread. I actually printed the tab from that link 4 years ago. The solo was crushing my spirit back then, but now I actually play along with the song.
I haven't posted on...
Go back a page. Good tab

I'm going to chime in on the Hora instruments, or rather, the Irish Bouzouki.
I currently own two Eastman Mandos, a Gold Tone Mandola and have had several "cheaper" mandolins. My budget has never...
The melody line was killing me since i don't read music that well. I had originally asked if some had the bridge tabbed out so that I could see what I was doing wrong.
I'll try it out when I get home. Really digging the song.
@Bill, wow! What a neat app! It didn't technically solve the problem, it gave me several different versions by various contributers and the on the fly transposition. I'm working really hard on...
I think what I have now is the notation in G (1 sharp). The note that vexes me is the first note of the bridge. My score has it as an E flat, and the chord listed is as well
I was curious how...
Was trying to add an image of my sheet music to this thread
So that would be any note in C or strum the chord....
The original has an E flat (stars fading...) hand written next to an E minor chord. The notation (written in G) has an E flat note that just...
