    Default Bluegrass in the Backwoods



    Played on my brother's cheap chinese mandolin. The first E string tuner had just broke completely, and it took two sets of pliers to tune. Now I just tune it to that string. One more month before I get back to my Kentucky.... *sigh*
    But I hope y'all enjoy the tune! I've been enjoying playing it, especially with the action nice and low thanks to Rob Meldrum's setup book!

    nice picking, the exact same tuning peg problem happened on my mandocello recently ( wasn't the first time on that box) , to make matters worse I could not turn the screw out and wound up breaking it in the peg, luckily when I bought it the seller was a nice enough to send an extra set of tuners ( all be it cheap ones) I just have to get the gumption up to do the surgery....until then its vice grips on the 2nd tuner.

    Nothing like the sound of good picking on a cheap mandolin. Gunner; Keep'n it real
