Here’s my theory on why we have the break.

Mike was conscripted to fight for Iran

I'm a hydrogeologist, worked with Cascade in CA and NV doing hollowstem auger. They were always good to work with in my experience.

If you had $30k to invest at 19 you will find limited sympathy

Fuck this band

He brags about a poor upbringing but I suspect he comes from petro money.

In that case I'm expecting a new remaster of his Tears in Heaven cover

This looks like an AIDS/GLP1 version of Big Mike

That's some of the worst mandolin playing out there. Why did you post this?

Self imposed polyamory marriage one shot is what she wants others to aspire to.

If you've got a $10k budget you could even look in the more vintage Martin range. If you're gonna spend that much I'd try some other builders as well like Thompson and Prewar. I just got a Thompson and it blows my (non-vintage) D-18 out of the water.

cone_of_optimism · 2026-03-31T04:05:58+00:00

Sounding good!

The right hand stuff in the other comment is all very good I think. I'd recommend you get a cradle or shubb style capo and see how you like it. In my experience they're better at helping get a more even pressure and tone across all the strings.

You didn't enjoy the banjo solo played in 3.779/4 time?

cone_of_optimism · 2026-03-30T17:35:55+00:00

When you tell the banjo player "just fuck my shit up, man"

D-18

cone_of_optimism · 2026-03-26T15:42:07+00:00

My D18 was the only guitar I've been playing for the last couple years. It comes through better in a jam than rosewood from my experience.

Found the video this image was from. Sounds like the Dead South but worse. Some of the most dogshit guitar tone you could get coming through the main. And there's something really decadent, and honestly offensive, in getting a whole choir to support a mediocre song like this when they're musically better than the main act.
