As far as a hint, I would say work on developing your ear and attend old-time jams where all the melody instruments such as fiddle tend to play in unison...that way you can just fall in to the tune if you will. As you get more advanced you can do more double stops and things like that. It's not that different from Irish tenor banjo, and in some ways it's easier than Irish tenor banjo because you don't have the jiggy or slidey time signature in oldtime.Tanner Llewellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618290583056122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374362644683696760.post-8878013072025037402023-10-04T10:48:13.184-04:002023-10-04T10:48:13.184-04:00Hi Mark.

I also have a tight right shoulder so get over ego I went with a little over 5 pound (33.5 inch) one a wood maker made. It is wood and metal. It is light but it works for me. I also got a yoga wheel and it really helps loosen my back. BTW, do to your review, I got the entire seven books of Aaron Gunner. Really good! Congratulations on your weight loss. Keep it going.

Strikes me we have a lot in common, music listening & age wise. I was a deadhead, saw Phish early on (1993), although they never really got their hooks in me, loves me some Sun Ra. Anyway, I have enjoyed reading your postings, gave me some ideas for musical exploration (listening to Mary Halvorson now...) and I'll check out your original stuff. I included a link to my scrobbling...perhaps it'll give you some suggestions for listening...shmoopattieshttps://www.last.fm/user/shmoopattiesnoreply@blogger.com
