I'm here in Kingston, ON searching for other pickers. Would love to start a Bluegrass group or association. Any Ontario Kampers going to TN this summer?

Welcome to this quiet group Alex. Not too sure why there aren't very many Canadians on here but maybe they are still hibernating....spring is here!

Hi everyone....Is this a private club or can any old frost bitten Canadian boy join? I'm here in Guelph and pretty new to "flat picking" although I have been a member here for a few years I just now noticed this "elite five" and Have now made it an even "six member " group! and yes ...I have been hibernating!

Hey Lee. Thanks for joining us. You're not too far away. I'm in Brampton. We have a Folk Club here of around 40 members that get together once a month for a good jam and performance circle. I have a few regular gigs every week too. Tell us a bit about what you do, what kind of guitars you have etc. This goes for the rest of you too!

here it is in a nutshell....I have been playing guitar for a long time mostly electric rockin' blues, but always loved acoustic and have recently started to learn fiddle tunes! Which brings me here...so much great information and amazing "unknown" talent! I have some Martin guitars...I just love the way they sound! I also play a little mandolin and piano. I don't get out jamming as much as I'd like to ( my eight year old son keeps my wife and I very busy ) but I still jam with a few friends every now and then.

Marc Schlotthauer replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
