    Re: Update to my mandolin arrangements web page

    I've got criticism for the style of chords over text, but it works for me. It does...

  7. Re: Anybody have a mando arrangement of Sweet Melissa?

    You are not familiar with the Allman Brothers? Man, do you have a treat in store. Gregg Allman wrote this tune.

    I am not familiar with Iron Horse.

    I was experimenting with the idea of making the frets in line across the page, and moving the chords up and down as they go. For example, on the third line, you see...
