New Site Feature: Groups

Have you seen the new Groups feature? We just launched it a few weeks ago!

Any members can create and join a group. Each group has a blog where members can interact, and once you're a member of a group you can 'tag' site content like forum topics or MP3s in order to associate them with your group.

Our goal here is to provide a way for members to build smaller, more focused communities within the larger Fiddle Hangout community. Enjoy!

Murphy Method DVD Added

We just added The Murphy Method's "Beginning Mandolin" video to our video lessons catalog. This DVD and over 30 more (from publishers like Acutab, Homespun, and Mel Bay) can be purchased and downloaded right through the catalog. It's pretty slick!
