    And now, the Not-Quite-Ready-For-Prime-Time Players ... I mean, The Real Malloys:



    Taken on someone's iPhone, so quality is what it is. This is part of "Hard Livin'" by Justin Townes Earle. I am doing mostly cross-picking on my 1917 Gibson A with a Fishman MT 100 pickup through a bit of compression and phasing, for you gearheads - first time with this effects set-up, so still adjusting. Note my patented stage move - it's a pull-left-shoulder-back-to-raise-the-neck kind of a deal. It ain't much, but I got it, and know how to work it. Also, you can't tell, but I have my Mandolin Café ball cap on. Of course!

    Love it JB. I'd really like to see/hear a cleaner video of you folks playing that song. Seems like it compliments the singer's vocal style quite nicely. From what I could tell you guys seemed right in the groove instrumentally as well. Thanks for posting.

    Thanks. You are too kind. That is a complicated little number, and I have not found a groove for it yet. but cross-picking works quite nicely in these situations, especially if the chord pattern is suitable (it is, very much so.) We are planning a more serious video shoot for the Fourth Of July, with a real camera and such. The singer tends to pick the material, so it will indeed suit his voice, which is really pretty phenomenal. This is just the first, and we are grateful for it, but something more representative would be nice. All in time ...

    This is just the intro of a tune and a little chopping in the verse, which I'm still trying to get used to.

    This video is a little bit different as my mandolin is providing background music for an instructional video. I'm the narrator/guide in the video. I was a bit intimidated by the camera. I've been trying to learn jig ornamentation and this is my first public crack at it. The tune is Miss Walsh. http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/3395 It is a little bit tentative and slow. I'm embarrassed on all fronts But sometimes you just have to go forth and try it out.

    Great Job JB and ScottyA. JB, we need to hear a better quality audio recording of your crosspicking. I'm particularly moved by your near 100 year old mandolin with modern effects on top. It is a compelling mix of old and new. I also want to express my admiration for ScottyA's first posts being his youtube video. It sounded great. Welcome. If we all could be so brave.

    Thanks, abuteague. I am waiting for a recording of our radio appearance Wednesday, which, while it doesn't feature that song, has some pretty good stuff. Acoustic, though, so no effects. But Mondays show will be in full regalia. Details in the calendar.

    I like your notion of combining the new and the old. I am less poetic and more pragmatic, just trying to use the best means to achieve an end, making music the way I want to hear it. That involves using this nice old mandolin with a good full sound, and using some effects that give it just a bit more oomph, and hopefully make people wig out a bit. Most of the night I use a MandoBird IV - it suits my purposes in the band more fully - but certain songs or styles go better with the Gibson.

    Very cool video. I pretty much figured that was how they work, but seeing it all displayed so clearly is fascinating. I guess time stands still for a few seconds while you wind up the weights, eh?

    JB, Not only can I make time stand still, but sometimes I get up at 2am and I steal a whole hour of everyone's sleep. I give it back in the fall before I'm caught.

    I've thought about using the clock as a huge metronome, recording "grandfather's clock" to it, or just playing up there. It can be hot in summer though and cold in winter, so perhaps in the fall...

    Excellent instrumentation, tasteful mandolin playing, and fine singing on your part.

    Thanks Masa, appreciated!

    Liked the song Patrick and nice tone from the mando.

    Here's a link to a Soundcloud track from my current project (no vid yet I'm afraid). Mandolin gets a bit more exciting two thirds of the way through! Anyway, hope you like (I think I may have posted this a few weeks ago under the blues n jazz thread so apologies if you've already heard it!)

    No, man, I've just put on a few pounds. And cut my hair, and become a rightie, and some other things ... Must have been all that Spanish castle magic! Thanks, guys. I know it isn't what most people expect from a mandolin, even an electric one, but the wee beastie is capable of so much, might as well push the envelope. I just wanna see, I wanna hear and see everything ...

    Hi all! This is my first ever YouTube upload. I know, I'm late to the game...

    This is my arrangement of the old hymn Be Thou My Vision, played in 4/4 instead of 3/4. Thanks for watching!

    Nicely done, Theo. Looks like you have the grip and technique down. Took me forever to get that and still struggle.

    Here's one Dawn and I did hiding out from the heat yesterday. It is a Missouri tune I believe. I got it by Josh Johnson via Fred Stoneking.
