Hey Paul, Good to hear from you. To answer the easiest question first, that should have read "join" Flatpick-L. Flatpick-l stands for flatpick listserve and is a good old fashioned discussion via emails re mainly guitars, styles, picks, and all thin…
Art, I hope your health is good and you are ok. Thanks for the tip on Beppe Gaambetta. I had never heard of him. Can you tell us a bit more about him? Also, what is Jpin Flatpick_L?
I am a raw beginner in bluegrass and my goal is to find some mater…
Comparing Rosewood to Mahogany is like comparing sweat tea to coffee. You can't go wrong with either, it's just a matter of preference. Recording Kings seem to have a slight edge in popularity at the moment over Blueridges. Personally, I like the ol…

Mark Cosgrove said… - Thanks Art! Your kind words are very much appreciated. That was Robin Bullock and Joe McColley outside that night and it sure was a ton of fun. I'm glad you were there and enjoyed it too. I look forward to this year's SKAK and I hope to see you there. Roberto and I are firming stuff up for April/May and although I don't know if we'll be able to take advantage this trip on your offer but I thank you for it. It's good to know there are supporters out there!
Mo sends her holiday best and we hope your '09 is healthy and happy and filled with inspiration and good notes.
Best, Mark

- You mentioned "roughing up" the grip on a wegen. I thought of that once, never tried it. I use a TF120 w/out holes for stiffness. I was having a hard time hanging on to it and thought "maybe if I take some sandpaper to it that will make it grip better". I never tried it though. How did you go about "roughing up" your picks? A grinder? Really??

Dan,
Going through in detail now, and came to this point again. You diagram on p.67 makes the similarity of the C and D forms clear. Another way I have seen these box patterns named that I also find useful is name them 'string-finger' according to…

been awhile since Jed asked the pick question, so probably doesn't care by now, but when i went to a Beppe workshop some years ago, he was using the Dunlop 500 (not the tortex, but the glossy model), pink one... .98 thickness.
