Just gave the new version a listen - it is definitely better with the bass part included. Very nice job and a very pleasant listen.

That is a really cool way to do it! I shall have to give that a try. Nice thinking outside the box. I'll give your recording a listen as soon as it finishes uploading.

You might want to invest in a music notation program and then you can enter the parts and mòve them around as necessary to make them playable for you when you get a score like that. I use GuitarPro...
I use a standard 6-string guitar to add the bass parts to my recordings. The low note on the guitar in standard tuning is the E on the first ledger line below the bass clef, which makes it ideal for...
I have the same problem lately. Not a mandolin case admittedly, but perhaps one of its great-great grandfathers...

I made my own recording based on your arrangement:

I used my Eastman MD504 for the two mandolin parts and my...
Anthing up to about 1600, which does indeed include some renaissance. We don't get that hung up on the terminology.
Thanks for that. Our medieval music group plays a somewhat less ornamented version of the Earl of Salisbury Pavane as well as the Earl of Salisbury Galliard also by Byrd. I like your version better...
There is a lot of renaissance and medieval music scored in SATB format that would be ideal for the line up you are talking about. You'd want to substitute the OM for that to do the tenor parts. ...
Well my wife is the flute player so she's the one that gets to stand on one leg. :)
Great Big Sea is fun - I just got into them recently. My wife has loved them for years but I didn't realy...
Just keep with it a bit every day and you'll get there. I know its hard when you're good at playing one way and have to drop back and stumble through learning to play another way. I've got the...
Well spotted! - Tull is a huge influence for me. Another band I've been listening to that does similar stuff to this is Great Big Sea who do a lot of rocked up Newfoundland Celtic stuff. I'm going...
Thanks to all for the kind words. It was a lot of fun to put together. My daughter is getting to be quite a good drummer - her tastes run more to prog rock but she had a lot of fun on this tune for...
There are several programs out there that you can use to create your own tabs automatically if you have the sheet music. I use one called GuitarPro which works just fine for generating mandolin...
Hello,
I regularly play mandolin at a couple of celtic jams around my home town and wanted to try something a little different with some of the pieces we do - usually it's everyone playing the...
The octave mandolin is an easy jump from mandolin - it is tuned the same an octave down from mandolin, so the fingerings are pretty much the same, just a bit more stretch with wider frets. I play...
I have not used Band in a Box, but another program you might consider is GuitarPro which I use extensively. I find it very easy and intuitive to use and there is a large library of songs out there...
Here is an ASCII export of the mandolin part for the non-GuitarPro enabled.

There is a quite a good complete GuitarPro tab for the song here:

The tab includes all of the parts including Ian's...
I play mandolin with a Celtic group in Ottawa once a week. Our tune books are mostly Irish but there are quite a few Scottish tunes as well
...
You can also add "Workin' Them Angels" by Rush, which features a Mandolin lead part in the instrumental break. The part is written for mandolin, but when I saw it played live Alex Lifeson was using...
I highly recommend learning to read standard notation instead of depending on tablature. I bit the bullet on that a few years ago and it open up whole new worlds of music you can play. I play...
I played both the MD505 (f holes) and MD504 (oval hole) for about an hour last night and ended up taking the MD504 home with me. Both were miles better than the old M1, but the MD504 sounded a bit...
I 've been playing mandolin for a few years now (mostly Medieval/Renaissance/Celtic) and I'm still using the starter Washburn M1 I bought on a whim when I started. After some setup work its been OK...
I use GuitarPro 6. It isn't free ($50-60), but it's good for both standard notation and tab and its very good for doing multipart and multi-instumental arrangements. There is also a moderately huge...
