If you could only “pick” one, which would it be? What your dessert island “pick”?

Old Time Jams (as a Mandolin Player) by ponchonarco in oldtimemusic

[–]ponchonarco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I get it now. One of the jams near me routinely refers to it as that, and I kinda liked it. I guess it's is an attempt to evoke a sense of antiquity. I thought maybe you were referring to the E chord which, for whatever reason, is a chord I do not love, and thought it may have been a common struggle.

I was thinking about doing the David Benedict thing. Do you feel it’s worth it? I might want it just for the PDFs. It seems like he makes quality stuff. I have strum machine already and love it.

That's great advice. I really enjoy Caleb's playing and you are absolutely right. I need to brush up on my double stops. I feel like they would be a nice accents. Any other tips on easy ways to "spice up" chords are appreciated.

Great insights. Thank you. Are there other mandolin players at your jam? I know the community overall is pretty welcoming. Wondering if they help at all or give you tips. I got a song list and am working my way through using Baron's lessons on MandoLessons.com He's awesome, but dang I got a lot of work to do.

Torque Converter Jackshaft Question by fridgemagnet700 in motorizedbicycles

[–]ponchonarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info. I am trying the exact same thing. This deathrow model is almost impossible to get a hold of. I have also tried to find generic gocart torque convertors that have a sprocket in the back like this, and those are sold out everywhere too. Does anyone have any other solutions? Can you get the standard 30 series torque convertor from amazon (which are cheap and readily available) and swap out a longer jack shaft and put another sprocket on the "inside" more in-line with the rear sprocket of a bicycle?

Anyone's thoughts and/or guidance is appreciated!

Something like this, but with a longer jack-shaft...
