I haven't played my violin or mandolin seriously in 35+ years. Listening to Sierra play inspires me to work on my playing.
Thanks for the transcription.
Thanks John! It didn't take too long...maybe an hour for each of the Sierra Hull demos. I found them to be instructional jewels for my mandolin student. The Aaron Weinstein solos took longer.Quote:

The sound gets really distorted at 1/4 speed on YouTube.
I always transcribe by ear first and then look at the video to check specific fingeringsQuote:

Are you referring to the video where she's playing to the dogs mandokismet?
Sorry. This Turkey in the Straw from Grey Fox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aQonnNSATkQuote:

If you're having difficulties following the line while listening, use a free tool
you can download from the internet 'Audacity' to extract the sound file only.
Then edit the solo or part you want to figure out and 'change speed' to 0.5
Here's an example using the tool - slowed down to 0.68

If you're still having problems, let me know and I'll transcribe it for you.
Sorry....this is a better sound Mandokismet and on pitch:

I transcribed from 3 - 3:50

Roland - Thanks! That was too kind! I was out of cell and internet for the long weekend. I'll definitely try using Audacity in the future. I'm sure the transcribing will help with training my ear...
So cool of you to share this stuff...thank you very much Roland!
I finally got me a mandolin and I will be redoing all my mandolin transcriptions
on a mandolin rather than a guitar. Sierra Hull's Old Dangerfield (Carter Vintage Demo)

Hi Roland, I don't know if you still have access to your transcriptions but the link posted no longer works. If you still have it handy I would be super grateful if you could repost it with a working link.Quote:
