My current group plays a lot of top 40, 70's, and 90's covers. I'd like to diversify to mandolin (we have FIVE guitar players in rotation now) and had played tenor guitar (GDAE) years back, which I enjoyed before jumping to six strings out of former band necessity.
Does the Mandolin have a place outside of it's traditional genres (Bluegrass, Celtic, classical, etc)? I'd like to play in a 4 piece band or two man duo with a guitar and harmonize chords or play melodies and leads without adding too much of a bluegrass/celtic/classical flavor to the sound.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
