I can name that mandolin player in one note.. I mean clue :mandosmiley:

Awesome - thanks for sharing.

You know its a cool forum when you get a comment from a player with the talent and stature of Don Julin. Thank you sir.

Thanks to all of you - lots of great stuff here - thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.

Thanks - so if are improvising in that setting and lose track of the chords do you revert to the pentatonic scale so as to remain in key?

YES! I just started it and I'm improving already.

I really appreciate everyone's input. I wish some of you lived near me!

Yeah it would be great to see the top 20 - any chance of this?

and by the way "Barlon Mando" - best name in this forum or best name in this forum?

Outstanding.

Oh yes! Would love some of those!
