post a video of yourself

[Robert Moreau]

Yep, That's a park in Tokyo. It wasn't too cold when the sun was out but when the clouds came the temperature dropped a bit. Managed to play about 3 hours that afternoon.

People seem to appreciate the music, we tend to get an audience of various people when we play. It's awesome how social music can be!

Yeah, Little guitar, I've gotten that one. Actually on Friday a guy came up to me and said "Portuguese Guitar?... Portuguese Guitar? I said "No it's a mandolin" and he turned and walked away looking disappointed - that was bizarre.

Here is one more from the park in Tokyo. I want to try in order to practice getting the video to show here not just the link as I did above.

there's actual mandolin footage in the middle..

Robert,
Nice song. I just finished up a week in Tokyo myself, would have loved to run into you guys playing there. I did run into a Japanese guy in Roppongi carrying a banjo, who said he was playing Dixieland somewhere in the area.

Time to bring this thread up from the depths.

For your enjoyment, a little vid of myself and my friend Matt Witler (he's the one on mando this time) playing a Darrell Scott song, River Take Me at Kulak's Woodshed in LA.

Nice video Patrick, 5 stars!

Thanks Patrick, nice duet. Who is your friend on mandolin? I enjoy the stories Darrell's songs tell. He's one of those great song writers that can create a captivating song independent of our deep rooted emotions associated with love found and lost. Not to find fault with silly love songs or whats wrong with that Sir Paul brings to our attention.

Hank, my friend on mandolin is Matt Witler, an amazing player out here in Los Angeles who is only 18. One of the top mandolinists in the area for sure, and probably the world's leading authority on Chris Thile. Met him at the mandolin symposium a couple years back, and since he hasn't gone off to Berklee or Belmont yet, I get the good fortune of playing with a better musician than I deserve.

Here's a vid of him ripping EMD with veteran Nashville guitar dude extraordinaire Tim May.

Sweet! Matt's left hand is text book. I'm very focused on this because I'm working on bringing my left hand in over the board like this relaxed with no unneeded movement. I was having trouble with my pinkie extending when I'm fretting with my 2nd finger and found that moving in front of the board like your friend Matt was the most effective way to relearn playing in a much better way without all the flailing around in wasted movement. Sorry to Change the subject a bit. Great clips.

A true study in economy of motion!

Here's me playing my arrangement of a reel called The Musical Priest. I'm playing it on a Rover RM75 F model mandolin (which I sold last month) Nothing compares to my 93 Flatiron F5 signed by Bruce Webber which I'm totally in love with!

Great tunes, especially Muddy Creek. I learned it a few years ago and have yet to find anyone else that knows it! Your Baird sounds very nice!

[Don Grieser]

Nice playing, luckylarue. Beautiful tone on the Baird. I just started on Muddy Creek--are you playing the Blake/Oshtrousko version? That's the only version I've got of the tune.

[luckylarue]

Thanks Don. It's a very fine instrument. Yeah, it's the Norman/Peter version. I think I learned the A part from some tabs here on the cafe and worked the B part out from the cd. Speaking of which, I'm really enjoying your new one. Beautiful sound & mix. Sometime I'll hit you up for the recording details.

[Bertram Henze]

luckylarue, those videos fully qualify you for the Song-a-Week Social Group. That's the place to be for mandos with cameras, and the genres played there also fit what you've shown us
