Just think about keeping them down when you practice, and eventually that will become your default. I don’t think there’s a shortcut other than just working slowly through left hand exercises with...
I like that, and that approach, a LOT. But…after spending many years studying theory and how it applies to jazz, I have no idea how to reharmonize a fiddle tune like that. It sounds more complex than...
Ronnie does a good job on the Monroe tune.

Mike Guggino’s Knob Creek is a good one. Also not a 12 bar form.

Jim Hinde is busily building a reputation, and mandolins that are second to none. And I mean none.

When I answer yes, I’m afraid of Bill Monroe, it just means that I have more respect and awe of him and what he accomplished than conventional language can convey.

Yes, it’s an Eb instrument thing. Both the alto and bari sax are written in Eb, so a piece written for them in A is in C concert (mandolin).
