    Re: Simply Bluegrass - Full Episode 1

    I don’t want to hijack this thread, but pianos and bluegrass reminded me of a story. Years ago my friend's fairly traditional bluegrass band, guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and bass, was playing a...
  3. Re: Domenico Scarlatti mandolin compositions?

    The notes on YouTube offer some explanation about these pieces and the theory they may have been written for mandolin.

    Good song! A good place to start is with the chords.

    It uses the I, IV, and V chords, but gets tricky with a minor iii and minor vi. Mellencamp plays it with a capo on the fourth fret of his...

  15. Re: Has anyone heard about a crazy mandolinist named Frank Wakefi

    More “atom splitting.” First few minutes give some idea of the character. Yes, he’s a character. Music starts about 2:55. Frank’s break is about 4:40.

    There is a bit of information about Frank on Wikipedia. There is an unsourced quote attributed to David Grisman about Frank, "He split the bluegrass mandolin atom. Some of us, obviously, will never...
