It's been a while since my last Beatles arrangement. Here's what I came up with the other day for their song "In My Life."

I've seen both good and bad chord voicings in mandolin books.

Another tip -

An F#m7b5 (F# A C E ) can be thought of as an Am (A C E ) chord over an F# bass.

I'm amused by things like this. Kenny G isn't my cup of tea but he's managed to do something the vast majority of us have not been able to accomplish even though we'd like to. Give him his due, he...

This is an instrumental arrangement of what was a very popular song for Tim O'Brien back in the day. He used an appealing, but unusual crosspicking style that I was never able to copy. It was in...

Greetings mando peoples. Things have settled down sufficiently that I'm starting to touch mandolins again. I'm just outside of Old Town Alexandria, VA. After fits and starts, my shop is fully up...

Hey all,
Just checking to see how many of you either went to Rockygrass or viewed it via the Mandolin.com stream. I ended up shelling out the rather cheap $50 for the option to stream all 3 days...
