Mandolin and Cold Weather
If you notice your action lowering in the cold temps...don't be afraid, its normal.
This weekend, I took two mandolins to a concert. I played both the night before at home and the action was fine. I stopped and left them in their case in the car for about 20 minutes, just enough to feel the cold temps..in the teens. Both of them dropped 1/32 at the 12th fret..
The wood is alive!! Fear not and play on!

What are your mandolin road blocks?
So its early on Saturday and I am freshly relocated in South Central Pa. Once the dust settles I am going to begin several series of new videos. Not to mention the 80 hours of video I have already.
What are your questions around mandolin playing?

Hey there-
I am going to be sure to let you all know it is quite ok to ask questions.
That is the Tip of the Day.
Reach out and ask. Ask about Chords, melody everything.
If you see another mandolin player that is playing some cool stuff you would like to learn, just go up and ask. I am certain they will assist in any way possible.
If there is a guitar player and he is playing rhythm (he is your best friend) ask about the chords and the changes.
Do not be shy..just ask while you have the chance.
Take the info back and digest it and play with it.
Fun, Fun and even more fun!
ps. You can ask me anytime
