Thanks for the reply, but you've lost me. If the A string is taken down a semitone, then your opening notes are G# B G# C#. I don't see any of those notes in the D minor scale.

As some of you will know, I have previously tried - with reasonable success - to produce a mandolin tablature for a couple of rock songs, but in each case based only on the vocal.
Producing a...
I've seen Boot Led Zeppelin in concert, and they did play this song.
Do you have a metronome?
Here's one: metronome website
And I'm sure you could sing brilliantly in a foreign language when you had just turned thirteen.
The Warning recently signed a record deal, and also went down a storm on The Ellen Show.

After a lot of hard listening, here is my assessment of what Pau sings:
I can’t break down the boundaries: F C D# F D# F G G#
Can’t put the past behind me: F G G G# G G# G
I just can’t believe...
I did not know the song Dream of the Archer, but have just listened to it. My inexperienced ear seemed to pick up the notes E and F# (above C4), as well as a chord which might have been E - not...
The Warning are a rock band from Mexico who have recently gone viral with their cover of Enter Sandman. The band comprises three sisters who I believe are aged fifteen, thirteen, and ten,

I now have a mnemonic for a minor scale, and fortunately it is not defamatory: take some time to savour the taste.
Yes, I know - the one about Take That is more memorable.
So I've finally got round to trying to identify a mandolin tablature for a JLS song, and I've opted for Big Bad World.
I'm pretty sure it's in a minor scale, and I've opted for G because so far as...
A neighbour has recently told me about the travis picking system. I looked it up on YT, and found mostly guitar videos. I found one mandolin video, but it assumed that its viewers already knew...
Can I make it any simpler?
You are invited to pay cash to someone as part of a scam. This person may be the scammer, or it may be someone to whom the scammer owes money. If you are paying money...
I did not use the term "their money", and it is rude of you to imply that I did. Also, my logic does not require the cheque to be real. It merely requires you to pay money in cash to someone you do...
I do understand the nature of the scam, except that the scammer can ask you to pay the cash to him or to a third party. If you pay the cash to a third party then you may be breaking the law - at...
It depends on exactly how the scam works. You have something for sale. Someone offers to buy it from you, but offers payment in a cheque for more than the sale price. They ask you to pay them the...
I don't know about other countries, but if you fell for this scam here in the UK, then you might be in breach of money laundering laws.
They are an inspiration not just to harp players but to players of melodic instruments generally - and of course you can get a perfectly good mandolin for a lot less than six thousand dollars.
I have known about Camille and Kennerley for a while now, but have only just taken an interest in them. They are harpists who cover rock songs. Not all of their covers work IMO, but their Metallica...
I have been sitting cross-legged on the floor trying to learn a simplified version of Fur Elise on my keyboard. I feel like Schroeder.
Today I bought a four octave electronic keyboard in a charity shop for £9.99. It runs from C2 up to C6.
The mandolin is still my favourite instrument, but I will learn music faster if I have more...
That does make sense, yes - A# rather than B. I was working on a scale, which is why I used the B.
I have looked at guitar tabs before now, but I wanted to try to work out a tablature for myself...
I began by watching a tutorial for the guitar which began with an Em chord. That was what prompted me to use the Em scale.
On reflection I realise I made a couple of mistakes which I have now corrected, although I'm still not sure about the fire in the sky line.
Iconic riff: D2 D5 A0 D2 D5 A2 A0 D2 D5 A0 D5 D2 (played...
I based it on an Em scale, although I also make extensive use of C# and G#.
I have been trying to work out how to play Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple on my mandolin, and the best I have so far come up with is this:
Iconic riff: D2 D5 A0 D2 D5 A2 A0 D2 D5 A0 D5 D2...
