So that's what wrong with me - too much electric guitar influence foggin' up my right hand technique. Damn Beatles Anyway! I think Tater hit it out of the park with the comment regarding influences and essentially getting hardwired to a certain soundscape (is that a word?), anyway, so much of

Glad it came off. The other thing I was going to suggest is just turn the amp up real loud so that it distorts, and maybe stomp on a bunch of effects when it's time for the solo -- a compressor, a Space Echo, maybe a wah-wah -- and you'll hardly have to play any actual notes. No, wait... That's

Whatever you do, your accesibility is priceless. If I ever had the time or energy to sit down with a Monroe tune, I know that I could bounce some things off of you and get an informed and entertaining answer. I think that knowing that I would have to pick a tune and learn it to an extent on my ow

Yak, I have thought about it, but not much and not often, at least not until recently. I have been told on a number of occasions that I "should" do it and the answer usually to my "why" question is inevitably the same thing...because I could make $$$ with it. Well, while that may be true, I don't

Valerie, The conference recorder that Vinnie brought up is really easy to use(one big red button) and it stores the videos in a seperate folder so they're easy to find. I got the link for this from somebody a long time ago. Sorry I didn't think about it earlier. I don't recall, but I believe it's

Starting with the melody is wise. Playing it, or part of it, up or down an octave provides some variation and sometimes opens up new possibilities. Experiment with places you can add drone strings and double stops to fatten up the sound. If you get a second time around on the tune -- or sometimes

I'm hoping some techno whiz in this group can offer some advice on videoing via a Mac Powerbook, especially screen capture (all the better to capture Tater lessons). The quality I get with SnapZ is not great, and the videos are really difficult to negotiate, which is likely a QuickTime problem, bu
