I thank yall for the advice and since I have a quiet weekend here I can try em out. The one thing from the article, that I need to try and pay more attention to is .. Mike says its best to learn a tune slow, then after a time speed it up. I do that but feel an enormous pressure to be able to play

Here are some ideas for hitting both strings in a course. Lots of folks have trouble with this at first. If you're not sure if you are hitting both strings, tune one of them quite a bit flat. Then play some sort of exercise on that pair. The worse it sounds, the better you're picking. Try to make

When it's going good... real good... I'll blow off everything to keep it going. I try (in vain) to keep THAT in my muscle memory. Make THAT my habit. Mike would probably say he does the same thing but his worst days are still better than my best. He can be annoying in that way ;) Playing back by t

I like the idea of the pencil eraser and will think on that some. The Tater says I am only playing the top string of two sometimes. He wants me to use the area just near the bridge more. I find it difficult to push through...push the pick through the strings in that spot. Am working on it. So

Damn! It doesn't get any better than that! Is that bass player laying down a groove or what??? Impossible to sit still while that's going on. The only thing that could improve on that would be Jethro sitting in on the mando! Bill in Nashville On Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 10:19 PM, erik berry wrote: >

Maybe the mental image of striking both strings with equal force and contemporaneously helps the process of digging in and keeping the pick on the stringS. Many of us have the poor technique (myself included) of catching just one string in a pair. That will give us half the volume and half the tone

Hey Jonas, I personally don't find the "doorknob" description useful. There's not much turning in the wrist per se. And because I am immature, Mike's use of the term "rubbing out" a note makes me giggle (I can't be alone on this can I?). That being said, it is definitely useful. I've been thinkin

'Picking' this up from the interview thread... I think I get the notion of 'rubbing out the notes' with the pick as was stated in the Mandolin Cafe interview with MC. I also get the pick grip, and use it. I have also heard that the hand motion when picking the mandolin should be as when turning a
