    Exquisite!
    Super curious. Is the Loar a mandolin he aquired for himself, or is it one he was borrowing?

    I love your playing, and I was watching your right hand in this video because I want to improve my right-hand technique. Do you have an unusually long thumb or a special pick grip? Your grip seems to give you great control and a good angle on the strings, but of course I can only see the back of your hand.
