Count me in!

I do use Pandora a bit, but I don't like to use it while I'm out running, all that streaming kills my data and my battery! Spotify is a bit different in that you can select a whole record (or...

Hey all - been looking for some new bluegrass/string band/mando-centric music to listen to while I'm out for a run or a bike ride. What have you all been listening to while exercising? Maybe you have...

I likes me some V picks..

Hi all, does anyone happen to have tab for the kickoff of Heartbreaker's Alibi by Rhonda Vincent? I know it's not super hard and I could figure it out, but I need to learn it on very short notice! I...

Hey Al, I am pretty sure Mike is playing a Kimble F5, Mike and Will are from the same neck of the woods. He also plays a Kimble mandola I believe.

Wonder if that Stiver is still available in the classifieds? NFI.

I think it's a Fletcher Brock GOM (guitar bodied octave mandolin), and yep, that one would definitely go on my list.

Here's some cool saw music. Pretty good mando pickin' too. The Spankers always put on a fun and interesting show. Check them out if you get a chance.

Hi all,

I just acquired a new mandolin (Collings MF) that will most likely be in need of some sort of pickup in the near future. I have noticed that the Pick-up the World two footed mandolin...

I had been playing guitar for a few years before I got a mandolin, and as several of you had mentioned before, my guitar rarely came out of the case after I got the mandolin bug. However, lately I...

I've been thinking about this for a while. I mean, I have two mandolins, but one is a Mid-Missouri M-0, and while it's a good little instrument, it doesn't really do the job for bluegrass and the...

Hi all,

I am a mandolin player in the Harrisburg, PA area, and I am thinking about upgrading mandolins in the near future. The problem is, as with many places, there are not a lot of high end...

Man, me too! I used to have a pretty good handle on that one, but it got lost somewhere along the line. Maybe I should work that one back up....

I'm definitely on board with seeing his version "Girl of the North Country". Lots of other good ideas too!

I have had this problem in the past as well. In the toolbar under score (I believe, I am not at a computer that has Tabledit installed) you can change the spacing between lines, as well as select...

I thought "Get Up John" used the even stranger tuning F#A DD AA AD (low to high). I have used this, and it sounded right. I like the way it sounds, but my mandolin has a little trouble adjusting to...

I actually own both pickups, and had been using the Schertler for a while. I think the tone of the Dyn-M is very natural, but I have problems with it in louder situations, and the band I play with...

I had a McIntyre for a while in one mando, and am now using a K&K twin internal, but in a different mando. I like the K&K a lot, and have compared to several other options, and it has worked the...

Most times I chop (low to high) 578x, or maybe 53xx at fast tempos. All the other recommendations will fly too. I figure, try 'em all, the more chords shapes I learn, the easier it is to visualize...

As far as finding the key, I really like to try to focus on the last chord of the progression. The last chord is almost always I (I'm sure there are exceptions). Then I use that as a reference...

Drove down to see these boys play this evening in Phoenix, MD. There was not a jam, but Adam and Kym absolutely killed it! Some of the best I have seen to date. For not touring together before,...

Hey I used to play that tune! I liked to play it with these shapes, to help minimize movement around the fretboard. You can also hear the chromatic movement in the progression with these. Hope...

An early '90s Taylor dread with a big 'ol crack in the top. Professionally repaired, sounds great. The latest of many good loaners I have had over the past two or so years. The was Larivee in there...

Wow, this sounds cool. As of late I have been finding less and less time for practice. Grad school. However, this seems like something that I could use for both. Make a mando deck, a guitar deck,...
