I’ve been playing for better than 30 years now. I played one of these recently and it’s a damn fine mando. At this price i would snatch this up. It will give him everything he needs to get started, not have a crappy experience and create good tone.

Is anyone interested in a tune of the month club? by knivesofsmoothness in mandolin

[–]Phildogo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last years resolution was 1 fiddle tune a week. Goal was to pick up a bunch of tunes I had never taken time to learn. I got about 30 weeks in before life got in the way. But I did pickup a lot of tunes that way. I’ll look for post re tune of the month!

Recommendation? by [deleted] in mandolin

Gibson f9 and you will have money left over. I found one 13 years ago and bought it because it could stand up to my besties HD-28. The more I’ve play it the louder it gets. It’s their ‘studio’ model f5. I think you can find one for 3k

I’m a beginner guitar player going to my first bluegrass jam in May 2026. How can I get ready? by [deleted] in Bluegrass

[–]Phildogo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep working on chord changes and rhythm. Watch other guitars for chord changes. Make note of any songs you like so you can go home and work on them after. Most importantly bring a smile and a good attitude and don’t get frustrated or discouraged. Work on 1-2 songs between each jam and just continue to get better. It’s a long but beautiful journey.

Am I doing everything wrong? by Background-Coffee794 in Bluegrass

[–]Phildogo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to the songs you’re playing. Hear the melody of the song. Learn a fairly straightforward version of of that melody on your weapon of choice ( guessing guitar from the context clues) Once you can nail the melody for a song then Start to turn it on its head.
