    I love this stuff. I especially love electric mandolin in the context of Western Swing. If I am not mistaken, there was an Asleep At the Wheel album that had a cut or two of Marty Stewart, playing an electric mandolin.

    From the perspective the general public, the mandolin itself is such a minority instrument, the electric mandolin is a genuine obscurity. I doubt if there are many followers of this stuff that aren't also players. I would bet the most prominent electric mandolin player in the general public today is Michael Kang, and I would bet most if not all of his fans think he plays guitar.

    It is difficult to find a context for electric mandolin that isn't electric guitar envy. But, that said, electric mandolin is so much fun to play.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    The entire staff
    funny....

    I won't do the research right now (it's bedtime here in Dubai), but the music as the final credits roll in a western that stars Brad Pitt is definitely (to my ears, at least) a bone-dry Fender mandocaster.

    I may have the wrong movie, maybe it was a way-too-long Billy the Kid thing – it's been a long day

    I experienced this very phenomenon last summer. A friend of mine who has seen the band live several times invited me over to watch an SCI/Keller Williams livestream and it took a couple minutes' convincing before he was willing to accept that Kang didn't play 'a tiny guitar'.

    I recorded that! That whole show (and several of the same group) was fantastic.

    Playing 5 string I am really enjoying the low end of the instrument. I've probably always been a natural mandola player, but one has to arrive at these things in stages I guess.

    Bb is one of my new favourite chords. It's so fat on my G5. F major and G minor are two of my new favourite keys.
    And I have noticed myself using ii chords more when writing.

    I would definitely check out Tiny Moore's playing on all the Billy Jack Wills recordings you can find. Super swingin recordings with a great band!
    Here is a link:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0de_KnLHQs

    Lot's of great boogie, standard western swing, and just super simple melodic lines that swing like crazy with the band.

    Johnny Gimble plays an electric mandolin solo at 34:36 on Fiddle Sticks. The tune starts at 33:02.
    Interesting to compare it to his solo on Rose City Chimes.

    Niles Hokkanen is on this one, probably some others as well. It’s a pretty dense recording but you can hear him.

    Does Johnny Gimble play some electric mandolin/mandola on the early Asleep at the Wheel records?

    Check out Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Melinda" where Mike Campbell plays an electric Rickenbacker (may not be a real Ric) with a whammy bar with some delay effects.

    It's a hearty and full endorsement.

    That was great! Very rich playing and arrangement! He reminds me of 1985 Eddie Van Halen's guitar style and Mark Knopfler's fashion style, all done in Brazilian style.

    I'll just post this for now, posted by Marcus CA on another thread, while I go in search of more. Sierra Hull takes quite a nice ride on this in the last minute. And the opening figure is really nice, too. This is a side of her music with which I was unfamiliar.
