Here's a little riff i made up.

[TNFrank]

Just pickin' around this a.m. and kind of got stuck on this riff so I thought I'd write down the TAB and post a short vid for ya'll. I know the TAB probably isn't boxed quite right but it'll at least give you an idea as to the notes being played.

Yes, I put the pick guard back on, yes, I've been trying to work on my left hand/arm form, yes, I'm a NASCAR fan, yes, I love playing mandolin. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

P.S.
Now if I can just figure out why Camino shuts down when I try to view my vid? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

That's an awfully familiar melody.

That's an awfully familiar melody.
I hope I didn't "steal" it from someplace without knowing it. For some reason I just started pickin' it out and worked on it a bit. I honestly never heard it before as far as I know but you know how that goes. If it IS a song already can someone please tell me which one. Also, does anyone know what I can do with Camino to stop it from shutting down when I go to YouTube?

[Mike Bunting]

What's a Camino?

[TNFrank]

What's a Camino?
It's a Mozilla based browser that I'm using. YouTube won't come up on Explorer and Camino shuts down.
Any idea of what song that might be if it's not something "original"?

[DryBones]

it's one of these! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[cooper4205]

The A part to Cherokee Shuffle maybe?

[bradeinhorn]

yup-very similar to cherokee shuffle's a-part

or the a-part of big sciota.

It appears that it might be a problem with some of the newer versions after doing an upgrade. Check out this (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=573136) link. You might be able to find more on that same forum.

[TNFrank]

I'm running version 0.7, may just be time to upgrade. Thanks for the link Mike, I guess you don't HATE me after all. LOL.:D

[TNFrank]

Ok, I downloaded version 0.8.2 and it looks to be runing fine now, also a lot faster. Thanks again Mike for the suggestion.

[MikeEdgerton]

Frank, i don't hate anybody. I'm obnoxious to everyone. It's my lot in life.

[Gutbucket]

Sounds kinda like "The Girl I left Behind"?

LOL, kind of like the way I like to push buttons and make jokes about things all the time. Guess we've all got our part to play in this big ol' world. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Don't be so modest. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iKmPkR5cK4) http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Bob Wiegers]

nice little riff. how bout a B and C part too? :-)

[sgarrity]

Kinda sounds like Cherokee Shuffle in G but not exactly.

All fiddle tunes sound the same anyway http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[kudzuklunker]

"The Girl I Left Behind".... Sorta.

[Gutbucket]

Needs more cowbell!

[Bernie Daniel]

I think is sounds original enough to be original!

But the comment about coming up with a B-part is certainly true -- you're only half way there it would be pretty boring if that was the entire song (no offense). #

I used to try to tab out tunes too because I seldom remember a ditty from one day on the next. #But it is a lot easier just to make a little video.

Mando sounds pretty decent what is it?
