Re: Thinking more outside of a Jam
I saw Jimmy Gaudreau use a capo on his mandolin at a bluegrass festival. It sounded great. It's a tool. Use it for a certain sound or effect but not because you're too lazy to learn to play in Bb or B. Monroe style players play out of closed positions anyway even when they don't have to, right? If I had a mandolin in GDGD and needed to play a tune in AEAE, I'd slap a capo on (if I could find one) rather than spend 5-10 minutes retuning. I use one with mandola, octave mandolin and mandocello.

Re: Norman's sage advice
I have a friend who took private lessons from Andy Statman and he shared some of his lesson experiences with me. One thing Andy said that stuck out in my mind was you need to really learn one thing completely. Don't dabble in bluegrass, learn a little swing, switch to choro, go explore jazz, then learn some more bluegrass. Pick one and master that language. Then all those other languages will make sense. If you never master the one thing, you'll never acquire the understanding you need to really speak in any of the languages. Your playing will have no depth. Being lazy and a slow learner, I haven't learned Monroe yet. There's some tunes/breaks I've learned note for note. There's some tunes/breaks I get a sense of and just wing it. The more you learn note for note, the easier it gets to wing it. And the stuff you can't play (the limitations you run into), you find another way to make something that fits into the feeling of the tune. On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 7:06 PM, mistertaterbug taterbugmu...@gmail.com wrote: Fo'teen, You ask a valid question...several actually. In my opinion the answer would be yes, try. Getting the general gist seems to leave me wanting more. I don't really think it's possible to understand what's being listened to with only getting the gist of it. One thing that occurs in the pursuit of understanding another's style is that the ears change over time, you become educated on what you're hearing and therefore new things occur to one's musical mind that simply were not there before because there was not enough education to understand them. My opinion, of course. Brian presents an interesting point about acquiring one's own nuances. David Grisman says that he used to try and play like Monroe in the early days, but the more he tried, the more his own thing emerged. Who's to say why dawg music was born or whether it had anything to do with Grisman's pursuit of Monroe. I think it probably had more to do with David doing a whole lot of mandolin playing and his muse speaking the loudest. There is also a lot of evidence that even Monroe played sounds and arrangements he heard being played by others. John Hartford used to say that he believed that a person's style is based on that person's limitations, that no one can play what they actually hear inside them. I would suggest taking that idea a step further and say that many times personal limitations are self-imposed. Not always, sure, but that would also take into consideration Brian's lazy streak(and my own). I know a number of musicians who openly admit to not being able to play at the level they know they could if they would just focus and work on it, yours truly included. I'm rambling on, so I'll get back to the point as I understand it. Yes, it is good to seek the nuances, to believe in something and follow it. Doing the work to learn only makes one a better player and opens other doors to personal discovery. Our own sounds will emerge no matter how hard we try to sound like someone else.

Re: Passionate mandolin
Yes indeed, Robin. That's what it's all about. When I get lost in the music, the inner dialog goes away, and the song/tune plays itself through me--those are the times I live for. How do you get to that place more often? That's the question. Learning to play the mandolin is more a spiritual pursuit/journey than just learning tunes/technique to me. Does that count as passion? On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 5:32 PM, Robin Gravina robin.grav...@gmail.com wrote: For me the thing that kills me about learning music is the immense technique you have to get in order to just stand up and say something through your instrument. For me, that is what marks a real musician: not being able to ride the chord changes in a fancy way, but being able to transmit the emotions that you have within the context of the song. Or in fact letting the song do its work, with you as a vehicle. That's why Monroe is a master. When I'm practicing I always have that idea in mind, and hopefully the enormous gap between what I would like to express, and what I am able to express will get ever smaller.

Other times, I really really want to learn something and it doesn't stick. I think where the passion comes in is when I know to stick with it. Playing music has provided me with more joy than anything else, save my relationship with my gal, over the past seven years. Sure, I will sacrifice playing music on a come and go basis to play baseball (interferes with sunday busking session) or to do something with my family, but music is always there. I have lifelong friends whom I have met through playing. How could I not be passionate! When I first heard that Frank Wakefield gives lessons I drove two hours once a month to sit in his kitchen and drink coffee and play mandolin and listen to stories. Now, I drive over five hours six or so times a year to play music with dear friends. The nice thing about music is it is CHEAP! I do my budget every two weeks and music takes up a tiny little sliver of my income. Sorry Mike, wish I could take more online lessons; I will pay your electric bill in the future when I can pay mine. Honestly though, people are so willing to share with a young musician that I have been able to learn so much without having to buy books, videos, lessons. With the internet, there are odles of resources out there for the taking.

Re: CD Release
The url has changed on the page. It's now http://jonathanleepickens.bandcamp.com Oops. Lots of recording talk follows for Mike. Ignore if you're not interested. The basic tracks were recorded live using 57s and 58s into the Presonus Firestudio in Reaper at 24/44.1. Vocal harmonies were done with an OktavaMod 219. Some were done with the Presonus, some with the Apogee Duet. Extra instruments were done with OktavaMod 012s. Eventually some extra instruments were done with a KM84 through the Apogee. I brought everything into Logic Express dry from Reaper once I had it all edited and levels evened out. We thought the plugins sounded better in Logic Express. Mixed it down to 2 track getting the best sound I could at 24/44.1, then ran it through Logic's mastering channel preset making adjustments until I felt like it was balanced. I think I used a little eq and the compressor. Then applied Voxengo's Elephant limiter to get it louder. Then played mixes in a bunch of different systems to hear how it translated and compared it to commercial CDs on the same systems and went back and made adjustments. That was a long process. On the lead vocals, I did a lot of automated fader moves as well as compression to try to even out the vocals--bring up the softer parts. Didn't compress the mandolin but did the guitar to keep its level constant. It took a lot of eq to try to get some presence in the vocals/instruments because of the 57s/58s. I did put my Heil PR20 on the mandolin and that track didn't get much eq. The overdub tracks didn't need hardly any eq. I started with the Logic compressor presets for vocal/acoustic guitar and then adjusted settings till it sounded good to me. I tried not to get carried away with eq, compression, reverb, etc.--tried to use as few plugins as I could and not use extreme settings on any of them. What did I learn? 1. 57s 58s have some huge bumps in their frequency response, especially with the proximity effect. 2. It takes me a really long time to finish a project like this. I'd get it to a certain stage and live with it awhile and try to figure out what it needed. I eventually got someone from tapeop to do a mix for me and then I tried to reverse engineer his mix and make mine sound like his. I learned a lot from that experience. I ended up getting some Axiom M2 speakers and an Adcom GFA535 amp for monitoring. That made a huge difference in being able to hear what was going on in the mixing stage. 3. I enjoy the recording/mixing process. 4. By the time it was close to done, I couldn't tell if it was sounding better or worse. I needed other folks to listen to it and tell me what they were hearing. I need to get better/faster at making decisions and getting things done. 5. I like Logic Express better than Reaper for a lot of things.

Re: Chilly Winds of Shannon
I did a YouTube video of my transcription of Monroe's playing on this tune. Search for mandomando09--YouTube's blocked at work so I can't give you the link. My guess is that Skip took it where he thought it should go.

Re: I'm Baaaaaaaaack....
Ran sound for the Zuni Mountain Stupa consecration Saturday. Heard some incredible Tibetan musicians playing double coursed stringed instruments and a Tibetan bowed instrument. Beautiful melodies.

Re: Monroe Bear Family Disks
Jimmy Campbell's Pieces of Time is one of those out of print CDs. Monroe plays mandolin on all of it, I think, and it's one of the last recordings Monroe made. It contains The Chilly Winds of Shannon and a blues tune Bill wrote for one of Jimmy's sons. The 50's Monroe recordings with Jimmy Martin rate right up there. Monroe's power/downstroke playing really grabbed me early on when I was starting in on his style and it still does.

I'm not too nervous about a crowd saying to itself, that mandolin player's fatigued, I can tell. Looks like he got some sun though. I'm nervous about being so fatigued that the other guys in the band (who've been gigging with side projects this summer) will have to cover me. It's a big gig for them too and I don't want to let them down. THanks for the elastic band advice. I don't plan on running scales so much as playing the hell out of my band's tunes in the garage.

I already know I'm not going to be on top of it, but it doesn't matter. I'll enjoy it, get paid, have a beer and go home. It's been my experience that doing anything makes one better at it and keeps your chops up(sorry), and the reverse is certainly true. I can't say that I agree with Topher in the least except for the rubber bands advice. I know of a few fellows here in Tennyshoe that have used that treatment to great benefit. But onward to protest...How would playing a nylon-stringed instrument with a different scale length prepare one for a gig using a mandolin with metal strings? Nylon does not play like bronze/brass/steel strings. Hell, even plain steel plays differently than wound steel, so how does this help? I suppose Topher should have told you which ukelele you are supposed to warm up with, as they are different. Also, are you going to be playing scales on your gig? How about warming up with minimal amount of scales/exercises and go right to the meat? So you've got the biggest gig of your life coming up and you've got your mandolins off someplace else getting an oil change and front end alignment? Why?

So maybe take a heavy elastic band and open your hand against the resistance for a few minutes before and after each hour of shoveling or scraping? Aside from that, I dunno - pick up a ukulele and tune it like a low-pitched mando and run scales?

My personal situation (just bought a house, getting married in a few weeks, new garage, garden, etc) has resulted in my being unable to play mandolin for several weeks due to the physical work I've been doing.

In about 10 days I have a huge gig. I won't go into the details, but suffice to say it's going to be the biggest show of my life (thus far). My mandolins are in the shop, getting ready for this gig, and won't be back in my hands until probably thursday. I find if I let the instrument go for some days and then play a show, I can feel muscle exhaustion. It goes away quickly, but in a day quickly, not during a show quickly. Any suggestions for jump starting my abilities? The band is rehearsing on Saturday. I'm planning on practicing or just playing for 30 or more minutes, at night in the garage if that's what I gotta do. Any one got any song or exercise suggestions to help cover my bases.

Re: Correction!! Costello/Tater on the Tonight Show!!! 6/23 Tonight
I got a close look at Telluride. I think it's the Fishman M300 which has the pickup sensors in the base of the bridge. The M100 and M200 had them embedded in the bridge saddle. He said he's going straight into a DI to the board, and they're able to make it sound decent. It's definitely changed the acoustic tone of the Gilchrist--not as full and as rich as it was with a real bridge.

Hi Dawn, Telluride was wonderful. I just spent part of one day at the festival and did some hiking before I left Saturday. Got my music in with Tater and Jeff on the porch. That was enough. Took the Tater on a good hike to Trout Lake after we jammed--a nice view with snow covered peaks in the distance. Got to listen to some of the festival on the net after I got home.

Re: Costello Show
I'm looking forward to Toumani Diabate and Bela too. Like icing on the cake, or snowcaps on the mountains up here. I listened to the Costello disk a few times driving up here. I Felt the Chill Before Winter Came may be one of the best songs Elvis ever wrote. I hit repeat on that one every time it came around. But the whole album grows on you with every listen. Looking forward to hearing that one tomorrow with those snowcaps off in distance. I hope Tater brought his long underwear. The neighbor here said is was snowing and sticking last week and it's already in the 50's tonight at 8.

His compositions seem very sophisticated, cerebral, and his singing seems somewhat unremarkable so the music behind him really shines. Then, one is drawn to the written lyrics ..then every now and again to the timber of his voice. The way Tater's mandolin faded sometimes so it was barely heard but there, kinda like whispering and then would step out and become more obvious worked well for me. I liked the CD a lot more than the you- tube Costello things I have seen/heard. I thought it was pretty music. The mandolin takes stayed in my head after.

They are never the kind of thing that you want to get up and play, but there is an enormous flow, and sometimes tremendous beauty, and they are all built on the classic elements, shuffled around, repeated and extended, which is a great reminder to not try and rebuild the wheel when you are trying to write a song, and reassuring when you think you are just copying. Yes, our leader and friends do a wonderful job- totally different, but reminiscent of the Hartford records, and also frankly of the best Dylan bands, such as the one he has now - everything at the service of the song and the music with no individual showing out.

Ookpik Waltz
There's a song a week group over on the cafe and this is one that someone posted. I really liked this waltz and found some notation for it and listened to some versions of it. Here's what I came up with--slow with slides and tremolo. Sorry, no fake nose and glasses--there doesn't seem to be any in the whole state of New Mexico. And I'm reading the notation on the screen as I'm playing. I'm playing a Gilchrist Model 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raCTDpU_FFA I've attached a pdf of the notation for those who want it. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: sound advice
Hi Robin, I use that AKG C411 contact condenser with the ART pre too. It's the best thing I've found as far as a pickup goes. I generally put it right behind the bridge on the bass side and still have to roll off some of the high end. I turn up enough that I have to chop quietly and then dig in a little more for breaks and that seems to work fine. I experimented some with a Fishman bridge pickup through a Fishman Aura with the mandolin samples. I thought that was really great sounding too, I liked it better than the AKG, but I didn't like what the Fishman bridge did to the acoustic sound of the instrument so it came off. I'd like to get a decent playing inexpensive mandolin and put the Fishman bridge on it to use when I have to plug in. Gain-staging: sending the proper amount of signal from the instrument to the mixer and from the mixer to the amp makes a difference. Experiment with your setup till you find those sweet spots. I've played some noisy bars from hell and using in-ear monitors makes a huge difference too. They block out a lot of the room noise and let you hear your bandmates clearly at a reasonable volume. They take some getting used to for singing (you hear a lot of your head voice like singing with fingers in your ears) but they make noisy venues more enjoyable to play. Congrats on your successful gig and keep us posted on what's working for you. Don On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 8:03 AM, Robin Gravina robin.grav...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks!

After $1000s and a few years, I've just added a mic to my rig. If you want to talk brand names and stuff, I'd be happy to do it.

The bar immediately booked us in again, so very happy about that! I still have some work to go on the sound thing - mainly with getting acoustic tones - it has just ocurred to me that maybe I could try putting the output of the mixing desk high and the volume of the powered speaker low - too many options for me.

First off, I'm not sure if your issues were feedback or just a general bad sound at high volume. Your post seems like it was of the general bad sound variety. I'll offer a few tips. If you already know this stuff I trust you'll forgive the repitition. * The Room. What type of space are you playing in? When it's empty, does it have a lot of natural reverb or is it kinda dead? A reverby room should sound real nice with some bodies in it and you can tell from the stage. A dead room (or a dead stage) can be harder because you can't hear the PA as clearly. *Control. Who's in control of the PA? If it's one of you guys, then you can try different things. If it's somebody else, then hopefully they're open to suggestions. If it is one of you guys, whichever one it is needs to get a long cable so he can go out in front of the band and listen while playing. That's important, because it lets you adjust the overall sound of everybody and it keeps you in the mix so the rest of the band plays right while you're offstage listening. I'm not the main singer so it was easy for me to do (and also how I got the job of band sound guy in the first place). If the band sound guy

For Sale: Gavin Baird A4
I never thought I'd sell this one, but so it goes. According to Gavin, this is the mandolin that Peter Oshtrousko played that started their collaboration on the Baird Oshtrousko model. It's a monster oval, with an elevated fingerboard, 1 1/8th at the nut, and a fabulous quilted maple back. I'm going to be putting it up on the Mando Cafe classifieds later this weekend, after I shoot some photos. Thought I'd post it here and on CoMando first. Asking $2400.

Re: Personal YouTube Videos
The mandolin is by Joe Campanella Cleary of www.campanellastrings.com. It's his Due (Italian for 2 point) model. He builds them violin style with the overhanging top and back plates. He's apprenticed with Lawrence Smart, studied and built violins/fiddles, and he's really developed his own style. Great value in mandolins.

Out here in NM, I'm lucky to keep them above 30% in the case with constant humdifiying. I've switched to little plastic tubs with a sponge soaking wet in them and a bunch of holes drilled in the top (cost me a couple bucks each total). I've got to refill them every few days. Fits under the headstock in most cases. I know it's not inside the mando like the green snake, but it seems to be working. If your mandolin's gone flat every time you take it out of the case, it's drying out and needs a drink.

Re: Monroe Camp 2009
While Andy Statman does not play Monroe style these days, he certainly learned about every Monroe solo/tune he could when he was young, and he still knows what Monroe is about. He's also an excellent teacher. John Reischman has a solid grounding in Monroe/old time and is also an excellent teacher. I'd focus on getting older masters to the camp rather than younger players, and people who can teach as well as play, but that's just me. My .02 since you asked for it.

I understand that Mike Lawing doesn't work at the museum anymore, so that leaves a gap. From what I can gather thus far, the camp will basically be similar in format to the last few. It will be on/around Monroe's birthday and will be Friday/Saturday/Sunday. There will be at least 5 instructors and the topics will be somewhat similar, but I am looking at other aspects of KY style bluegrass mandolin that have not been touched on so much before. I know some of you on this here list have been to the camp, whilst others have not. What I would like for you to do, beings we have this forum, is to think about what it was you didn't get last time that would have been welcome knowledge. What aspects of Bill's music did not get looked at, either at all or adequately? Is there something slipping through the cracks that I'm just not thinking of? What have I left out? Are there artists currently working that have not worked as instructors at the camp before that either loosely base some of their work on Monroe's mandolin style or whom you'd like to see tackle KY style mandolin with a more contemporary flair? The camp is, of course, devoted to furthering and explaining Monroe's work and music, so I'm not saying we need to get too far out on a limb. I am also looking at possibly having the before bluegrass idea actively pursued, as well as the black mandolin culture. Maybe we should go to Arnold Schultz' gravesite. Anyway, I would welcome any suggestions/requests/complaints that may be floating around. I think there needs to be some other activities to do besides classes too, but right now at this early stage in the game, I'm drawing a blank. Now's the time to have your say.

Re: A little recording with Yo-Yo Ma
What can I say? I'm a square white boy so that's the treatment I gave it. On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 12:49 PM, mistertaterbug taterbugmu...@gmail.com wrote: Very cool, Don. Nice entry on your part. Amazing stuff, really. So many different takes on one melody, so many different cultures and instruments, so many different rhythms and thought processes. Yikes. This is one of the more interesting/informative things I've seen in a while and just at a time when I'm gathering up rhythm examples and other things to do besides play chop chords. Boy, I feel really unimaginative about now. I really like your arrangement, but I'm afraid I'll have to go with either Joseph Nibbs or Sea the Band (I voted for you too).

Not exactly the kind of music that most on this list plays, but I did use a crosstuned mandola (CFCA) so I could have some drones available.

Re: It Was Bound to Happen Sooner or Later...
I was jamming at a festival campsite in Utah when a microburst windstorm picked up an aluminum camping table and threw it at me and my Gil. I saw it coming out of the corner of my eye and got my arm out, but it basically folded around me and the Gil and flapped a few times. I heard an awful sound, my strings were slack, and my heart sank. I got it under some light and discovered it had hit the bridge, knocking it over and digging the bridge base into the top where it got knocked over. The top wasn't cracked so I got the bridge stood up and put the strings back on and went back to jamming. This year I had it in a stand at the edge of a small low stage and was talking to an audience member after the show and he started gesturing wildly and knocked it over on it's face. Hard enough to break a string, but no other damage that I can tell other than a few dings. I've had enough endpin incidents to keep one hand on it at all times, and have a loop around the tailpiece now too. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: subject Worst fiddle tune name...
There's a tune in Bayard's Hill Country Tunes named Old Piss. More colorful than gross.

There are a lot of made up and somewhat off-color song titles floating around out there (such as Sweet Ass in the Piney Woods the old Lonesome Pine Fiddlers tune) and of course bastardized titles of known fiddle tunes. Some don't bear repeating in polite company. I mean, if you're in the middle of a 10-12 hour drive and looking for things to do, it's fun to come up with your own titles. Say the tunes Spider Bit the Baby or Indian Killed a Woodcock or Monkey in the Dogcart. Take a look at the formula...Noun, verb, noun. Or you might want to go with more detail as in Jenny Ran Away in the Mud in the Night. I also hear that Bob Wills and band wrote a lot of verses to Take Me Back to Tulsa that are a bit racy.
