Thanks for the feedback. My wife's been sick and kids in HS, and work, it's hard to get out to a jam or play w/others. Was looking to find a more discipliined approach and flow to improving,...

Sampler 1 is on its way to mossmanl in Iowa. Enjoyed testdriving them. Took pictures of the ones I liked. Concluded I'm not a thick/pick guy.... Thanks for putting this together!

Just confirming that I"m ready to send on. I sent a pm to mossmanl is that the same as on the list?

Also, really enjoyed going through the pick samples. Great selection. Took photos of the...

Just received the Sampler 1 packet all the way from Oregon. The picks look jetlagged! Excited to try them out. Thanks for sending Willem!

There is a Fountain, Be Still My Soul, It is Well w My Soul, When I Survey. Used to play these w/my wife on guitar in my old church.

I'd like to get added to both sampler lists. To paraphrase U2, I still haven't found the pick I'm looking for.....

I'm still on my first mandolin when I started 6 years ago(Kentuck KM-250). The Gallatin charmed me the most when I tried it a couple times and was going to be my next (supposed to be my present to...

Wow! What a beautiful area. I'll try to catch it tomorrow. Taking my family to Scotland/Ireland next summer. We haven't planned all the stops yet, This might have to be one!

All, I just discovered this song by accident. What a treat! Like finding money in the sofa! I'm amazed I've gone this long without heraring it. This thread answers almost all the questions I...

This is an old Paypal scam.

They will ask for refund, which would be required, then change their accounts, while Paypal investigates. You're out the mando and the money.

thank you all for the replies and suggestions! And thanks for the video lessons, Sevelos, and DavidKos. Great information.

Just curious if this is a common technique where you pick a melody and hit a drone string on the off beats. How is this typically done? Is it like playing a melody on the E string and droning the...

I had this scam pulled on me for a car I was selling. Researched it a little, as it sounded fishy, and from what I heard it goes as you said. Additionally
1. Agent picks up car
2. Overpayment...

From what I understand, he performed in a pretty decent Spike Jones-type cover band, so I don't think it was just a personal hobby. I'll see how much detail i can get.

Ok, so I came "out" to my parents about my mandolin playing. After my mom stopped crying, she remembered an old uncle who played mandolin back in the 30's-40's and thought her cousin might still...

Wow. Great advice. I have a hard case, and I have a Preferred status, so I can get on early. I usually bring an overnight bag and a computer backpack, so the mando would be my second personal...

I frequently travel for business--fairly informal field work-- but when I'm away, I hate not practicing. Been tempted to bring the mando w/me when I go. Any tips, advice on traveling w/a mandoline,...

Wow! Great advice all around. I've been using scale practice to try to lower the finger altitude as much as possible, but going slower, always seems to be the best advice. Thanks for all your...

One thing I notice, is that when I pick or strum, my left fingers move high off the fret on the way to their next strings. I had(have) this same problem with the pennywhistle. I can't seem to...

Thanks, Greg! Didn't know that. I might try to peel over there after work soon. thanks!
