    Fantastic. I feel like I could spend a lifetime getting that “slidey stuff” down. ��

    Loved those videos. If you have ever been to a Mike Compton camp there is sure to be a session on getting that "fiddle sound" out of the mandolin. He has gone farther then almost anyone else on that I think?

    Mike, Good work. You may want to pay more attention to the relative volume of your voice and your mandolin.

    Excellent. Mike is a very good instructor. His explanations are clear and he shows you exactly how to position your hands and grip to get the right form. Thank you!

    Great stuff from a true master, but where is the classic Compton one legged stand at the end?

    Always a treat to hear Mike Compton play and talk about his approach to the mandolin. Thanks again for this.
