    Re: Eastman 815/v Antique Sunburst

    I was so charmed by the tone of my (red) 815v that I bought it and use it as my main mandolin to see how it breaks in and opens up. After a few months of serious playing it still has what Jellwoo...

    Re: Ibanez mando

    It's a 513. That model was the first serious mandolin that I could afford in my teens. I think it has a pressed top and at the time I was really happy with it, given the alternatives. It will not...

    Re: Tips for better rhythm playing

    I'll share some thick and chunky opinions and see if anyone dares to oppose with good examples.
    -Keep it quiet, dry, simple and sparse. Variations will stand out and have stronger impact. Let the...
  9. Re: Seeking "mournful" mandolin - like Levon Helm with The Band

    I hear a guitar doing a great job in emulating a vocal or saxophone line using tremolo. In the mandolin world David Grisman sometimes plays that way. Paul Buskirk comes to mind too. I have trouble...

    Re: crosspicking examples?

    Jack Tottle's "backroad mandolin" LP has a few tracks with great McReynolds style crosspicking that is very much like Andy Statman's on "Andy's Ramble": adventurous in musical ideas, yet true to the...

    Re: Please help! Fixing my pick direction

    Two tips to fix pick direction:
    *Don't play the tunes you've memorized the wrong way for a long time.
    *Practice the tunes and phrases you tend to mess up with a bounce.

    Actually, I think there...
