Chuck, Its an Aston Spirit! In the video you are hearing the mixed audio of the Spirit and the mic on the cell phone I used to film. I have found that blending those two (despite the vast disparity...

Thanks! haha yea, no gators in Hawaii...

Here's my solo mandolin take on this Paul Brady classic (performed at altogether the wrong body of water): https://youtu.be/RE16cEcdGE0

Cheers!

Thanks! As a big Lightfoot fan, my vocals were probably most influenced by his take on this song...

Did this up today. I'm working on my video editing skills... I thought the combo of open (strumming and filling) mando worked well with fingerpicked guitar.

Thanks Mark, I'm flattered. I agree with you about the vocal, I was feeling the same. Trouble was, I recorded the lead vocal together with the guitar this time, which didn't give me too many...

Thanks Mark! And thanks for the help getting videos to imbed... I struggle sometimes... haha

I did this a while ago! (Not exactly a tune, but very Norman)

Hi liammurphy, I thought this would be easier to explain with a video. Let me know if this helps!

Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Don,

Thanks for the clarification, and what cool stories! I really like Mr. Carlini's playing as well. River Suite for two Guitars is one of my favorite recordings full stop.

Don!

Thank you for your thought out reply! I had to sit right down and try to work out your suggestions... they're great!

I've long been a fan of your playing, and am currently (albeit...

Nick, Denny,
thanks for pointing out Grisman's version for me!

I used to listen to Quintet '80 a lot, and it's safe to say that the "New Acoustic" music of David Grisman and Tony Rice led me...

Thought I might share my very basic chord melody arrangement of Coltrane's beautiful "Naima". I'm very open to any constructive criticism or ideas on how I might improve it :)

Thanks to everyone for all the enthusiastic and helpful replies!

Hi folks,
This question may very well have been asked here before, but I couldn't find anything that quite fit... So please forgive me if I'm digging up an old topic.

My question is for the folks...

Beside the usual ukulele, banjo, and guitar references, I've also been asked if it was a zither or a sitar...:confused:

I don't know about electric, but I'd bet Mike Compton can teach blues mandolin -and he's famous for online instruction...

Be your problem of the right or left hand?

So that's what Flatt and Scruggs were up to... ;)

:disbelief:

If you watch the professionals, nearly all of them use a combination of closed and open positions. But they all have the ability to play in any position. Whether you play a tune in closed or open...
