Then play the standard...
Inspiring performance Frank.

Good luck! :)
In the past I’ve written out tunes like this (for myself) but it was just a shorthand way of getting more variations, or various harmonised riffs onto just the one page. This may have been a factor,...
AI transport is woodshedding on autopilot.
You slide into a beautiful aluminium box in New York with your mandolin and a subscription to the AI mandolin school and by the time you’ve reached San...
Always good to get different perspectives on triplets, quadruplets, quin… and then make up your own mind. Here’s one:

Many thanks! :)
VITRIFOLK NOTATION IS HERE and here are the respective MIDI FILES.
A lot of it's to do with how people associate with the music (and to some extent a patriotic belief system).
A Bal Folk jam in MN. will necessarily be more stereotypical than in Europe.
You...
There are Italian Folk Bal dances too, Portuguese.
I hope these musicians don't plan on not playing Flemish Bal Folk! :)) in Wallonië.
Bal Folk is a lot more modern, like 1850's onwards and...
I’m not sure I understand you when you use the terms ‘French’ and ‘English’ in this context.
For example Cornwall is in England. The Massif Central is in the centre of France but many over here...

One time at school when I was about 15 in a Religious Knowledge class a friend next to me gave the teacher a long serene but sickly smile.
Then when he knew that everyone was ready he said, ‘who is...
And another one is to make sure that when you practice these tunes you begin at lots of different parts.
You can record the tune yourself at slow tempo and let it loop, then practice playing nothing...

At speed you're pushing rather than swinging the pick, while fret fingers spread out and are simply...
Get your mando a good set-up.
A $3000 mandolin with a bad set-up is a monster! :)
A cheap mandolin with a good set-up will be a friend to you.

Although I’m not religious (at all), this sounds pretty cool.
They appear to be proactive and even share pdfs and mp3 files, presumably in order to practice before...
