post a video of yourself

Cork Hornpipe (Harvest Home, Fred Wilson's Clog...)
Clearly I've forgotten how to embed (?)

Clean picking. Good basis. Now all you got to do is accelerate that little downward run in the A and B part to double speed respectively so the meter is maintained

Here is a video of a trio group I play in, the video quality isn't that great but the audio is pretty good.
This is my first video, not sure how to embed?

Embedding is easy. You copy the URL from the youtube video, including the v-parameter but losing the "?" and everything behind it (should look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgHb9V_g2uY). Then you press that little movie-clip button (second from right) of the Quick Reply editor and paste the URL into the small window that opens. The movie will then be embedded into where your cursor was:

I love it too, but it seems lately I have trouble finding my way around it after playing the Epi or the Eastman, dunno what the problem is :/

The pancake shape and flat board might be confounding at first. I know that mine has higher action than my other mandolins as well.

Thanks, yeah, I know that part you mention, isn't quite right. When I listen to others (videos, LPs, etc) I just can't accomplish what I hear. It's like they're playing something different than what I can find for tab.

It's funny, I learned this to play for a friend who lived in Cork for a time. And just this past Thursday I brought home two LPs from the thrift shop that had this tune on them but I didn't realise until I got them home.

One LP was by a Newfoundland accordion player by the name of Ray Johnson from about 1967 listed as Cork Hornpipe. Ray has, since the mid 80s I think, been a member of Newfoundland comedy/musical group Buddy Wassisname & The Other Fellers. The second LP is by fiddler Don Messer & His Islanders, and listed as Fred Wilson's Clog...I recognised it instantly.

Incidently, I brought home another great LP last week simply titled "Music For Mandolin; Beethoven...Schlick"

Another one from my band, the Love Lane Gang. It's a song by Sean Lennon called "Part One Of The Cowboy Trilogy." It's been seventeen years, still waiting for Parts Two and Three ...



I admit to being quite conscious of the cameraman, so I avoided my usual deer-in-the-headlights stance. I also made sure I could be heard above the din when I took my leads. I'm not the star of this band, but I do my bit, as well as I can. Usually that's good enough, and often enough, more than good enough.

Indeed, it is almost impossible to do, especially when the whole tune is more up-tempo. I used to do it in my early version of it (with sloppy timing, too), but today I just do a flabby hammer-on/pull-off/left-out-notes trick that superficially sounds like it without actually being the real thing. And that's perfectly legal in Irish music, since some ornaments are intended for other instruments (this part is a piece of cake for a tin whistle, for instance).

Not great sound quality (sounds clearer with headphones) ... just some random medley that ran through my head one evening.

We tried to get rid of the paparazzi but it looks like they got a video of us anyway.
Yours truly with Peter Feldmann, David West, and Tom Lee, aka The Very Lonesome Trio.

[Don Grieser]

But there are 4? Great picking!

[Rosemary Philips]

Shaun, you just keep getting better and better! Great stuff!

[Bertram Henze]

But there are 4?

There's three categories of people: those who can count, and those who can't.

[journeybear]

True enough. Perhaps they took their cue from Thompson Twins (there are three, and they're not twins, or Thompsons, for that matter), or Ben Folds Five (there are three). Then again, if one were to combine all three, the head count would line up with the sum proffered in the titles.

I think the confusion arises because our guy was jamming with the trio, though he didn't say as much. I assume this because there are two mandolinists. And who wants (or needs) two mandolins in one band? That would make for some Dawg-gone crazy music!

Besides which ...

[Don Grieser]

Found this Norman Blake ear worm this week.

[sgarrity]

Nice work Don! Love that tone.

[Kowboy]

Thanks so much Don G. I've been looking for a new tune and this one fits the bill nicely. "Ear Worm", I know what there're like. Got tunes going in there most times. Thanks again.

I can't figure out how to delete the duplicate, and not sure how it happened. Sorry.

Deleting is not possible. It happens quite often, and to everybody, when browser/server communication gets tangled-up, i.e. your post has been received and stored, but your browser didn't get it and you think you have to press "post" a second time, or if you have used the Back/Forward buttons of your browser after posting and your editor appears to be still open and ready for posting.
I have made it a custom of mine to copy my text to clipboard before posting and re-open the whole thread in a different browser tab after posting, so I can see what I've done and post again only if really neccessary.

Wouldn't it be a nice feature of the server to delete identical duplicates by itself?

ddminpgfl. Here's your video.

[journeybear]

This just in: our band last night, doing one of our crowd-pleasers, a medley of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and "Misirlou." You're probably thinking, "What?!?" Me too. The connection is they're both in E, though one is in E major, the other in E minor. Phrygian mode, actually. Doesn't stop us!



Thanks to our friend Sheelman, who has been shooting stills and video of us since near the start.

I'm not sure if this google drive link will work here, but I'll try. I'm just adding a little mando accent in the studio for a new song for a band I just joined. Its my first time in a real studio and first time I played the song with/for the band so I was pretty nervous. I'm reading the lead sheet as I go and thats never optimal but I didnt have much time to learn the song. This was the first take out of many so hopefully it got better. I get to hear it thursday. Love the song and the band. Fingers crossed:

PS -The link works !

Also, I'm behind the glass in the sound booth so I can't hear the banjo or them talking. Who ever was up next usually played along in the control room with whoever was recording as a warm up prior to their turn to go in and thats what the banjo is doing here (not recording simultaneously).

Over the Waterfall on my one of my latest acquisitions, a 1996 Flatiron Bouzouki, or Octave Mandolin.

Good morning all, here is a video of CLINCH MOUNTAIN BACKSTEP. I am playing a 1997 Gilchrist F5 that I have absolutely fallen in love with.
