Hey everyone. Long time viewer, first time poster here.
Has anybody worked out the mando solo in Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge"? It sounds like some sort of jig (hence the name Stonehenge). I've tried to figure it out by ear, but it's just not clicking. It doesn't help that it books along at a pretty good speed. If anyone has figured it out, or has jig tabs similar to it, I would be most appreciative.

Get a "slowdown" program, like Transcribe or Amazing Slowdowner. It's invaluable for stuff like this.

Just from memory from hearing the soundtrack CD. (i.e. Never really worked on it or learned it "digitally" (hands))

I'll have to get out the CD and give it a listen just to see how close I came (or didn't).

Maybe not exact, but more or less, after listening to the CD.

Don't forget to "dance" whilst you play this one.

Yeah, I've got the fake monument out, and I'm ready to dance around it. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif Thanks for the help. I'll keep listening to it.
PS: Well, with this info, I listened to it again, and I figured everything out in about 15 minutes. Very cool, the tabs are pretty close. Thanks again!
