Jefferson and Liberty - my new (old) favorite

[Mark Gunter]

I've been attracted more to old time stuff and found this one recently. Really enjoying practicing this one right now.

Nice playing Mark, I enjoyed that. The recorded sound was a little weird, but that might be my ageing PC and speaker set up! Despite that, it sounds like your mandolin has a really nice tone. Thanks for posting :)

Thanks Rob. It's just an iPhone recording, and the quality of those recordings seem to fluctuate for me.

Enjoyed the sound and your playing, thank you, Mark! I think I'll use this as a tutorial, if you don't mind :)

You're welcome, Pete. Here's some possible help:

And currently, this is my favorite version of the tune; this audio clip is what got me interested in learning it. I plan to work on making an arrangement more in line with this fiddler's version, and practice until I can play it cleanly ... if I live long enough :)
