Really appreciate you guys sharing your Jethro Burns. Many Thanks.

I’ve written the exercise in what I’m hoping is G minor -still not 100% on the chords but they sound scary enough!
To be played...

I remember in the 80’s in the Dolomites the music was very local-area specific. Each valley had it’s dialect and tunes, even certain instruments and you could tell which valley the girls came from by...

Thanks for the reminder, Bren.
1970’s. Yes, and sometimes the article talked about a jig and you really wanted a reel, so it was a 2 month wait!
And no .abc players to give you a clear idea of...

Lots of high end and really interesting textures.
Wondering if it was grandad who used to play the bass. And then the ironically played mandolin as if only old people are allowed to play mandolins....

Misplaced repeats?
-You play the whole thing through to the double bar line. That’s 8 measures.
Start at beginning again, now the whole thing through but replace the 8th measure with the ninth...

I think someone recently said never walk all over the singer with a mandolin, a bouzouki, octave, whistle…
These guys do it all the time!

Thanks, interesting and nice playing.

Here’s a version I recorded a while back.
I was in a phase where every tune I learned had to be in harmonic minor (as well). Some of the tunes sounded...

Nice!

Here's a set of lyrics from La Procidana, a song that can sound very beautiful and romantic to a non-Italian speaker.
Indeed, there are vast variations in the lyrics in terms of dialect… but also...

Nice one Roland! I’m actually starting to understand the Blues. Many thanks.

Good luck, lots of great places to go to. :)

One bit of advice is that people are generally very friendly and open, but at the same really don’t appreciate intrusions on their private lives....

Thanks Mick, some nice links there.

Here are a couple of playlists for La Ciapa Rusa, referenced in the above .abc file. (Thanks Brian).
I use the .abc to get an idea of how the tunes feel on the...

One cure for jangly courses is to replace the high octaves with slightly heavier strings -if the neck can handle the slightly increased tension.
Lighter strings are great for bending but tone and...

My great grandmother used to say to us: ‘You carry on like that and you’ll be spending the night in the garden shed’.
Or: ‘you’ll be out there with the banshees’. And other such words in Gaelic...

I had my ‘70s Sigma 12 string tuned like that using an electric bass string to get the right tension/tone. Had to get a medium and light set of guitar strings too but it was definitely worth it....

Don’t make me have to choose between Bluegrass and Heavy Metal, JourneyBear. :))

-Because I love both of them. Oriental music? Love that too. Russian music? I love that, and strange sounding...

METALLICA!!!!!
Good arpeggio/strum pattern practice here too.

Thanks Jim, no, unfortunately I didn’t. Well I didn’t write them out but may have gathered them together, can’t remember! :)
I don’t know where I found the .abc files, maybe an Italian site. My...

What a brilliant start to the day! Many thanks Mr. Gordon.
-really like that following bass line that gives the impression of two instruments playing along with the solid, sensitive rhythm.

Nice site Marc and resources!
