Re: Arpeggios driving me crazy... (12 replies, posted in Acoustic)
After fourty years on the guitar, I can say that Arpeggios are something that come outa your own heart. Sounds too philosophical, I know, but the "book" will teach you ONE way, and your fingers will teach you another.
Being distinctively different is what gets attention. Not being a carbon copy.
Don't worry so much about getting Arpeggios right "according to the book" (unless you are getting graded on them), but find your own pattern that fits YOU well, and develop the song(s) your doing, around YOUR style of play.

Re: Mandolin (87 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Hello all,
I'm Soupy1957 from Connecticut, a guitar player for fourty years, and a mandolin player for seven months.
I owned and sold a KM620B (not a bad "first" mando, just wanted to help pay for the next one), and currently own a MK Dragonfly Limited Edition, and an Epi MM-50.
You'll probably see me posting here, there and everywhere, but you won't see me pretending to know what I'm talking about if I don't. (A refreshing thought, eh?!)
Fair is fair; shoot questions at me, and if I can, I'll answer them. If I can't, I won't snow ya. Meanwhile, I'll offer thoughts, and ask questions of my own.
Best Regards,
Soupy1957
