is there a particular version you are after - I am somewhat fond of the Tony Rice version from "Cold on the Shoulder" - never tried to play it from notation or tab though.

Chose this for Summer reading, only half way through and now much of what I accepted as online gospel bluegrass fact is reduced to "popular opinion", thankfully to my mind.
I really like the...

meaning that Sharon hangs closer to the melody of the tune in her improvisation.
The other thing I interpret from John's playing is he uses a lot of close intervals - like 2nds and 3rds back and...

It does not say online who plays what on what track, but it does list Sharon playing Bass and a Gilchrist F5, and lists John's Loar and two different mandolas.
John's playing is generally very...

Nice I have a mandocello by Audey, how's she sound?

Suzuki method in Violin, though I should really support the "O'Connor" violin method ( I have no idea what the difference is).
These generally relate to classical playing, but are generally based...

Thanks David, I don't know enough about folk music practices around the world, (ethnology-musicologist being my dream job) but I wonder if "limited musical function" was placed on instrument and...

The real question Bill, is there or is there not money above the 7th fret?

the whole album is on You tube, so yeah, stop whatever you are doing and check it out, Midnight on the Water, I am a Pilgrim, about as woody as music gets.

I have to put John Hartford up there with the great poet lyricists of the end of the 20th century, While he traveled in many musical circles he was dead center with Norman and Nancy Blake, bringing...

"Doubtful, Doc would be familiar with Scottish pipe tunes, Irish folk music, or Cape Breton or Quebecois styles of music."
I don't see why he wouldn't have been familiar with at least some of those...

One of the Greats to be sure. I saw him once many many years ago, at Old Songs Festival near Albany NY, it was very hot out and here comes Mick in a wild tie-dye shirt carrying his guitar, banjo and...

I know Compton and Long do a great double mandolin version on the "Stomp" recording,
Darol Anger does a version with Celtic harp and Cello and stuff - probably not what you are looking for.
A lot...

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway ( though a little sunnier than Steel Drivers)

The tune book "Cole's 1001 Fiddle tunes" first published in 1940 actually calls them that, and is divided up into reels, jigs, hornpipes, strathpeys, much of it was taken from an earlier book of...

Thanks f-d, those flat iron pancakes are so rugged and simple, a real joy to play, inspiring!

very cool , I spent a few sessions with Frank Solivan on this tune, for the chord fingerings we went with

535 to 435 for the Dm7 to G7, Grisman does this quite often in other tunes

If you use the Goldtone mandocello strings which are somewhat lighter than standard, I haven't had a problem with strings breaking.
I have shop worn model and my biggest problem is tuning peg...

I just picked up a 72' Harmony Batwing, I got it on Reverb cause I needed a beater to leave at the office. Well I have to say I am quite surprised at the tone and playability of this mandolin, not to...
