Can anyone make out what he's playing? It's a great mandolin song but for the life of me I cant figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you trying to figure out what mando he has or what the tab is?

[David Lewis]

Anderson generally uses fylde (?) mandolins.

Several mandolins played in this set - I think what Ian plays here (from 2:40 into the video) is probably a Fylde Lucetta.

I think he wants to know HOW to play this song.

Yes indeed. I can't quite make out the fingering, the opening verse is a Am-F-G progression I think though.

[Bertram Henze]

Chords are here, but you'll have to try if they are correct.

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

The tab includes all of the parts including Ian's mandolin part. You have to have GuitarPro to read the file though.

By the way, I saw Ian Anderson playing Thick As A Brick 1 & 2 yesterday.... No mandolin used during his concert (which was great).

Here is an ASCII export of the mandolin part for the non-GuitarPro enabled.
