Heading to Asheville area next week. Any friendly bluegrass/old time jams?

I hope you guys are wrong and that is not just something that has to be tolerated! I don’t think the saddle is reversed. Strings are J74. It isn’t just the intonation, overall the A course just...

Thanks for all the advice, I will probably give the nut slots a try.

Hi, I have a Collings MT with a frustrating intonation problem. I have it setup so that the intonation is pretty much perfect on all strings when comparing the open and 12th fret. My problem is...

Doc & Dawg

Thanks for the help everyone. I just messed up last time I took the bridge off to clean and put it on backwards. Just switched it back, seems like everything is ok

I noticed it might be backwards because the A and E strings sit deeper into the bridge than the wound. Should not the deeper grooves be for the wound strings.

This is probably a stupid question but how can I tell if my bridge is on the correct way or is backwards. Pics attached.

I use peghead nation and really like the Joe Walsh and Shannon Gilchrist courses. It has definitely improved my playing.

I also play an MT and love it. Zeno's in State College is my favorite bar in the whole world! Wish I could hear you play there.

Does anyone know the chords to John Reischman's Bitterroot Waltz? Seems it is in Em but I can't figure them all out.

thanks,

Thanks for all of the advice. It is certainly not the strings, will look into if it is a technique problem. Unfortunately, that is usually the culprit for my tone problems!

I play a Collins's MT that generally sounds pretty good. It seems though that there are a few frets on the A strings that just don't play in tune, even though it seems bridge is set properly. Some...

Seemed it was from the tuners by putting my ear up to different places and striking sting hard. Anyhow I think I figured out the problem. The screw in the end of the tuner for the first G string is...

Hi, I've been having a recent problem with my Collings MT. I'm getting a very bad buzzing on my open D-strings that I'm pretty sure is coming from the tuners. This is not a minor buzz but very...

Does anyone have experience playing a Rag mandolin (Upstate NY)?

Hi everybody, I am learning Dawg Funk today, awesome tune. I would like to play it at a weekly bluegrass jam but am looking for a simplified chord progression to share with the rest of the group. We...
