bearsmith,
Never is a long time. I like my Squire when I'm banging old R&R and it does the trick for me. I have never played an expensive electric so I can't compare. When it comes to getting serious and doing something in public I grab my Yamaha acoustic. With a pickup if needed. Good luck in your choosing.

Bushy,
  Get ready! If your fingers are not sore now they will be.
I have determined that my nut could be lowered a little and hopefully ease my fretting but I don't know if I want to try this myself or not. My fear is breaking something while removing the nut.(Plastic I think). I don't know much about my Mando since it came from a Pawn Shop. The name on the head stock is "Abilene". It was made in Korea. An ASM-10 I ran a search and came up empty. Pretty low end I would guess.

Good luck and enjoy!

Well here is your laugh for the day! I hope it works. I am not real familiar with mediafire but if you click the link and then download My first day on Mandolin you should get it.

I sometimes have this problem but I have so much going on in my life I can check on something else and come back to chordie and all is well. A 2 minute wait isn't much for me considering the reward of finding new music.

Yes! Keep playing! After a while it will hurt so good you won't even notice.

I can't read music but I think about this. You have "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F"G" and your back to "A".Throw in some Flats and some Sharps and that's all you have to work with.
   With all the different genres of music and different languages, sooner or later you run out of combinations to come up with new songs.
     Just a thought.

Pictures please but please wear a cap so we can tell which end is up!:P:P:P

I think I sometimes suffer from computer burn out. With 3 forums, 2 e-mail addresses, facebook, craigs list and checking to see if I am listed in the obituaries I just get lax sometimes. I delete a lot of e-mails without opening them. I'll be more involved in the winter months. Like others though I do check in nearly every day to see if I can be of help.

and I taught both everything I know!

Don't take me seriously! I hope you find what your looking for.

Ok, It took me a while to get back here. We had a birthday party for 4 year old Grand daughter Alayna and then had to do the grocery shopping but I am happy to say I am on the laptop.
   As was suggested it was on my end. I had "cookies" dissabled so I  gave them more freedom and it seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help! AL

PS   Ugh ooooh! Just realized I need to download the spell check I have on the desktop!
