    Re: Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue in D

    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...
  3. Re: Looking for feedback on an original bluegrass tune

    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....
  4. Re: Steve Winwood "Back in the high life again"

    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.
  5. Yet another Pachelbel Canon in D version

    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...
  6. Re: Caprice 24 of Niccolo Paganini - Tablature

    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...
  7. Re: Caprice 24 of Niccolo Paganini - Tablature

    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...

    Re: Monsoondolin

    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...

    Monsoondolin

    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.

    Re: Signal Ridge - Prairie Fire

    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.

    Re: Tabs for Evangeline?

    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...

    Re: Tabs for Evangeline?

    This version is Eb, but no capo so maybe mandolin is tuned up a semitone?

    Hmmm the more I listen to the original the more I think the chorus is

    Re: Bad Company

    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.
