Well, English, not British.
Well that fairly bounces along! I didn't know it was originally at this pace. I put a comparatively amateurish version on the forum last week at the more sedate pace, as an experiment arising from...
I enjoyed that. I'd go with what tmsweeney says, could do with a bit of space in it. Maybe a muted section to emphasise some of the more poignant lyrics?
I'm a sucker for punchy endings like this....
One of my old favourite albums id Arc of a Diver, Winwood played all the instruments on it. It still sounds fresh. The mandolin part o this song doesn't look too tricky, may give it a go myself.
I know lockdown is getting bad when Canon in D starts to seem interesting again. So I have had a shot at it with 2 mandolin parts. I originally planned more but the predominance of treble was...
Now I don't know what I mean about the diminished chords. The one in the 2nd variation is F G# B D.
As for how one tries to imitate a violin technique on the mandolin, I have no idea, except that...
I came across this oldish post, and was intrigued by Paganini's Caprice 24. Apologies if I have got the name wrong, but I mean the one that Rachmaninov did his famous variations on the hteme of. And...
Ermmm... with the song in G the bridge has to be in E.
So first part
G F#7 Bbdim D and so on
Bridge
E C#m F#m7 B and so on
Or thereabouts
That Bbdim chord I don't know if...
Shouldn't be hard. What key? I think old Neil does it in G
Eek, I haven't been on the Cafe for ages.
I do play guitar, but I am quite strict with myself on Madolin I always keep 1st for 1st or 2nd fret, 2nd for 2nd or 3rd, 3rd for 3rd or 4th and 4th for...
Here's a link to a Youtube video of my recent composition 'Monsoondolin' for anyone that has a couple of minutes. I have added the chord accompaniment to the video. I still can't figure out what key...
I'd love to, life a shambles just now with moving house on Friday and generally working away from home a lot too. If I get my life back I'll be picking again.
Belated welcome onboard. And if you're heading up Glasgow way let me know, I'd love to play along with anyone that's as enthusiastic about the mandolin as I am.
Chords on the chorus aint right
Should be

174 views and I can't believe no-one else has taken the trouble to compliment your band's efforts. I'd pay to sit through this for an evening, and I'd go home happy humming a tune.
I expect...
As good as the original. What a singer!
I can't see past the Last Waltz version which I would consider the original. The second half of every verse is taken by Emmylou Harris with a whole new countermelody that would have been good enough...
This version is Eb, but no capo so maybe mandolin is tuned up a semitone?

That's 11-13 March 2016.
A quick update. Last week I looked for some low level tuition and came across the Glasgow Fiddle Workshop. They have a once-a-month session for any instruments, but the beauty is that the session is...
I heard yesterday that Irving Berlin only ever composed in F#.
i don't know the original but this is very listenable.
Nice, buit very quiet. It's louder on the download version.
Fiendish key. Eb?
I managed a wee bluegrass stylee lick for the chorus, based loosely on the brass parts inteh original Zutons track.
Hmmm the more I listen to the original the more I think the chorus is
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... G . F .
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... G . F .
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... G . F .
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... C ....
In the chorus it's worth hammering on the A note i.e play 0002 and immediately hammer on to 2002. Just for the first beat of the passage.
