Hi, S.

I’ll pass along the suggestions. Our newest instructor, Niall Murphy, is quite the accomplished chopper….we recorded 8-9 tutorials on the various types of chops that he does when he was in the studio. Those are nearer to the end of the production pipeline than way at the end…but it might be a little while before the whole series is…[Read more]

Great thread. I feel like I need a “like” button…

Zale – would agree with your approach above.

Oliver – if I was starting out, I think I would approach as you describe…getting basic melodies under your fingers and then moving on to new tunes….

So my 2c is:
If you’re a beginner player, focus on getting to a point where you can play the m…[Read more]

Awesome, Donna.

Bluegrass is a no-brainer add for the site 👍🏻

I’ll take a look at her site as I’ve not heard of her…it will likely be 2019 before I add a new instructor, but we’re lookin forward around here so thx for the suggestion!

Cheers, and thanks for joining the site!

Welcome, FR, from a fellow Oregonian!

Oops! Fixed…thx!

Great input, Oliver. Thx.

Thx, Zale. Yeah, YT has changed things, hasn’t it??

You’re absolutely correct, the 7 note is right for that F# chord…I think I was thinking about the Bb note being the major third in the F# scale…forgot to mention the 7 note…and also to write it in the sheet music!!

Good catch, sir. Sounds like you’re really diving in. Good stuff!!

Thanks for chiming in, Oliver. That might be something to look at…there are so many distribution models out there right now!!! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any plug-n-play type app options…

Hi, Jeff.

First off, welcome…thanks for signing up!

I totally understand the request…our site is set up for content to be accessed via internet, and you’d like to be able to download off-line copies of the videos to work on when not connected. We looked at the direct download option when we designed the site but ended up not going that…[Read more]

Hi, FM. It was Mairi’s Wedding. So it’s been published…more to follow, of course!

Hi, Michele. Great question…Niall is currently on tour in Australia, and it may be some time before he’s able to review lessons.

I would hope we would start publishing the first of his lessons in a few weeks…I might publish them as they are finished instead of saving up a bunch like I did with Andre. Anyhow, that’s the scoop.

If you…[Read more]

Awesome, Patti!!

I can’t wait to get you to autograph me a copy…perhaps your next recording session…

Folks – you can’t go wrong with this new album from Patti…great stuff!!!

For sure, Patti. Still have that set on, and they seem to have a bit more projection than the mediums…but I think I need to play some more of your tunes to make sure!!!

Remind me what strings you use?

Hi, Lassoayr. Yeah, Kevin is no longer in the studio, but he seems to turn up like a bad apple round these parts so I bet he’ll be back to record later this year or in 2019. I’ll add that tune to his running request list, and he might choose to record it next time. Thanks for the suggestion!

All the best!!

Hi, UncleTed.

Not dreaming…that lesson is currently in review by Hanneke. Should be published soon, sir! Then maybe a few more from existing instructors before we push to get Niall Murphy’s first batch of lessons published!!
