  • Appreciate the sentiment

    Sometimes the conversation stays in compliment-and-agreement mode, and I find myself wishing for more follow-ups and technical/creative depth. It’s apparent that Daniel cares about the community and makes guests comfortable, but going a little deeper would make the show all the better. More specifics about arrangements and in depth technique stuff would be great. Excited to keep listening and see how it might grow.

The Mandolins and Beer Podcasdt #327 Kylie Kay Anderson
Q: What's something you would recommend somebody to work on if they only have a little bit of time each day to play mandolin to get better?
She recommends becoming comfortable with arpeggios across the fretboard by practicing the root, third, and fifth of each chord, such as through a 12-bar blues in different keys.
The Mandolins and Beer Podcasdt #327 Kylie Kay Anderson
Q: What's your process like as far as writing?
Anderson collected melodies as phone voice memos during the past several years, then later organized them, added chords, and arranged them for the album.
The Mandolins and Beer Podcast #325 Anthony Howell (2026 National Mandolin Champion)
Q: If you only had 10 minutes to recommend one thing for someone to work on, what would you recommend them working on?
I'd suggest focusing on right-hand dexterity, as it directly affects tone and control across strings and instruments.
The Mandolins and Beer Podcast #325 Anthony Howell (2026 National Mandolin Champion)
Q: All right, my next guest was an absolute honor. I'm talking to the newest National Mandolin Champion out of Winfield, Anthony Howell. Anthony, how's it going, buddy?
Great, thanks for having me. I'm excited to talk about the contest, my approach to practice, and how I balance mandolin with other instruments.
The Mandolins and Beer Podcsast #324 Sam Parks (The Fretliners)
Q: What's your live rig like and what gear is essential for your mandolin sound on stage?
Sam discusses his instrument setup, including a Turkey Creek 108 mandolin, John Pearce strings, a K&K Pure Mini pickup, Grace Felix DI, and a high-end cable setup for live tone.
