Hi! I just want to compliment you on your laid back approach to everything. I particularly enjoy not being hammered by the host of any channel. You sir, totally deserve every cent you may make from your valuable offerings.
I'd love to see a comparison between different string types. Though I imagine that would be a lot more troublesome.
The thicker picks brought out a more solid, strong bass tone all the way across the strings without loosing the treble response.
The new format feels more personal, I like it! Keep up the good work, always a pleasure. :)
Thanks for the feedback!
The verb pick! Hand picked! Hey thanks!
Videos are clear, useful and instructive. Good job.
Thanks!
I very much like the new format. Well done.
Thanks!
Thanks for the information!
Hello from Albion, Maine! My favorite pick was recommended when talking to Mike Guggino (Steep Canyon Rangers) A BlueChip TAD-1R 40. Tortes is awesome to!
I like the Dunlop pick, I always liked thick picks anyway, bought a mandolin and should arrive within a month :) excited to learn some bluegrass solos and stuff
Well done, as usual.
Such reviews begin with how different picks, instruments, models, and so forth rely on the ears. Solid! In a more perfect world, that's the only way to go.
Please bear in mind that listeners' abilities to hear subtle sound differences vary widely. Consider individual hearing ability, quality of sound reproduction on listener equipment, and listener musical experience.
I've had a minor yet troublesom hearing impairment for about 50 years, hearing adequate yet fully understanding sounds heard quite difficult. Auditory nuance baffles my ears, even with quality hearing aids. Also, dozens of hours seeking high fidelity speakers for my PC has borne no fruit, because vendors all design small speaker systems for kids who like thumping bass, creating distorted sound. Add to that my being a less experienced amateur musician who does not enjoy decades of intense musical experience that trains hearing to better perceive subtle differences.
A solution? At the end, I would enjoy hearing your own comments about what you hear and how things feel. You have a fine way with words and surely would identify and qualify any subjectivity.
No complaints, my friend. Many thanks for what you do. May MANY more who enjoy your videos and website visit Paetron and enroll as regular contributors.
For soloing I use the red dunlop (thin) when I play connected or the yellow (medium) unplugged, and the green one for comping. It also depends on the average dinamics, thinner for pp to mf or thicker for mf to ff. The last criterium is if I need to play tremolo (rounded shape) or staccato (sharp triangle)... So I usually have three picks and I change in every piece. ...
I use the large dunlop jazz 206. I find i lose a bit of volume, but it is great for balancing the low to high tones as well as balancing tremolo.
Ha ha... finaly found your Pick video.... but witch one do you like the most?
I use Dunlop 1.0mm triangle
I like the idea of us seeing you at the onset while you setup the video. Once the playing begins I would suggest moving back a tad from the camera. Your old shots made it look more like we were watching you playing in a band while we also try and play along (watching your fingers). In this new style the nut of the mandolin seems too close to the edge.
Keep up the amazing lessons...I am learning so much from you...thanks!!
Thanks Greg! Yes, I need to fix the close up view to make it look a little more natural, I agree! Thanks for the input!
Great! really like the additional camera.
Yes, I really liked this new format. Excellent work, Baron! Whenever you pick up the mandolin and appear on the screen, we know there is something good awaiting. Thank you for opening up our eyes to old-time mandolin music. It brightens up our day!
Thanks Nelson and Alf!
I use Dragon Heart guitar picks, they are 2.5 mm think, with three different pick heads. They are über nice.
If you have some dry boxwood or some other very hard wood you can also make your own. Store some now, use it in 3 years.
I like the Gibson black, heavy pick. It is the same shape and feel as the Fender, but gives a nicer tone IMO.
The Wegens and the Blue Chips might have more volume, but both give a less interesting tone, esp. the Blue Chip.
I love Blue Chip Picks !!
40$ a piece! Not worth it. Drop it while playing in a busy Kafana at 2am. Bye, bye.
Unless there's a specific reason to see your hands and mandolin close up (while you're playing, for example), i would suggest panning back to the full body shot. Especially if you're trying to make your production more personal. You launched this video with a full body shot, but then zoomed in for the remainder, even though you were actually playing for only a small portion of the time. I feel much more connected to your live sesions, which are mostly shot panned back, than to your typical lesson videos, which are almost entirely shot zoomed in on your hands and mandolin.
One of the things i really like about your videos is the view of the room they're shot in. I presume it's your studio. It looks like a room i would enjoy playing in.
But whatever you do in your shooting and editing, please don't mess with the content! It's the best!
Thanks Don! I agree with everything you said! I was planning on having more wide shots, but because I am unfamiliar with the new setup, my eyes were accidentally glued to the close up camera, which made the wide shot very awkward. Live and learn I guess! The room is actually the living room (and largest room of my tiny little 1BR apartment, but it is very fun to play in, there has been a lot music in there! And the content won't change, don't worry! There are lots of tunes to come!
I love my wegan pick
I love my Wegen 1.4
i want to buy those two triangle picks.. but how??
Hello tell about strings diffrent
Good idea! It's a little harder because you can't do an instant comparison like you can with picks. Strings take time to settle in on an instrument and the process of comparing takes a long time. For example if you change your strings once a month it will take you 6 months to try 6 different sets of strings. The Mandolin Cafe forum can be a good place to learn about how other folks feel about different string types.
Love the Simpsons reference!! "Speedholes" BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
The make the car go faster!
Why didn't you demontrate tremolo? I much prefer a thinner nylon pick for that action.
Thanks
Thanks a million.
I just use the pick of destiny 😂
I thought there was a link to amazon, to give you credit
The 6 sounded best
