Yeah, very nice tone from that Sprite.

Nice tune, nicely played. And I agree. Steve - the Sprite is a great-sounding mandolin!

Liam's tone with his Sorensen Sprite Two-Point mandolin always makes me smile.

Love the playing, and would love to hear some of that bad mandolin playing with Old Crow! I’ve seen them a few times; but the most memorable was when we went down to Whitewater on the Guadalupe River outside of Austin, with 7 other couples, maybe in 2014/2015 (fairly recently back to Texas). Old Crow opened for the Avett Brothers at that show. Sarah and I knew OCMS very well, but the other couples were more attracted to the Avett Bros - (and no knock on the Avett Bros, they were great) - but to a person, every single one of them came to me at some point and said something along the lines of “Holy Sh!+, these guys kicked @$$!” or “these guys are F***ing awesome!” OCMS can bring the old time, modern feel like nobody else!!! It would be so cool to hear a mandolin in there. “I Hear Them All” should be (if it’s not known to be) among the greatest songs of our generation! There’s a lot of room for a mandolin in that one, particularly. No criticism of the recorded version, just saying - there’s room. I’ve been playing with it; but my band isn’t ready to go there just yet.

this was one of my favorites that has been on Mandolin Mondays.
love the sound of the tune and that mandolin, excellent player brought it all together.

Thanks Mason, nice tune and well played.

Good playing on a great mandolin. Bernabe is one of the best American luthiers.

I remember a YouTube video of Chris Thile on a Mandocello at Carter Vintage playing the Cello Suites and saying how cool it would be to cover them on a mandocello. I always wanted to hear that so thanks Mike for making my dream come true

KOOL!

Great performance! Thanks for the lesson in scordatura. And thanks for the lesson in establishing multiple voices via pick angle and picking at various distances from the bridge. And thanks for showing and sounding this Monte up close and personal.

Wonderfully done. Thank you for learning this and sharing it with us!

Nice!

These [MM's Bach cello suites] are all great. (I have the first 3, #s 4 & 5 are in my cart, along with a few other mando-centric items, waiting for Bandcamp Friday )

Inspirational!
Sweet Brontosaurus Mando Bass in the background there!

Strange sound. A good mandolin with a good player can do more.

Good picking on a fine mandolin. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for that beautiful piece of music played on an incredible sounding mandolin!

that sounded great!
now i've found a new player to check out, i really like that type of composition with a mandolin

First thing I noticed, that mandolin sounds awesome. Really cool playing, nice tune.

What kind of mandolin was that?

I too like Chris' playing and the acoustic in the room sound really good to me.

Great picking! And great sounding mando.

Good job. Thanks for posting.

FUNky ! I like the stylistic blending

Very fun song!

Such a great tune and vibe I had to transcribe this version. I'm new here and cant figure out how to post a file, but maybe this link will work. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-t...C&usp=drive_fs

Talented musicians clearly enjoying making music together. And that Richter is a great sounding mandolin.

Fun tune! Love the bass and mandolin interplay.

wow, cool tune, cool mandolin, very cool playing.
thank you for time and effort bringing this to us

Great picking Michael! I have taken some of Michael’s classes over the years and he is a great teacher. His deep dive knowledge is 2nd to none and his enthusiasm about the content is contagious.

What's the tuning?

And a fine performance.

What a mandolin!

Wow! Very cool - You are making that A50 earn its keep! That's a rousing tune, and you got a great tone out of that mando. Great playing.

that was fantastic!
i love slower relaxing played tunes and this certainly qualified.
just beautiful way to start the day out.

Nice relaxed playing...

That´s what a musician should aim for.

Nice tune, as well. Let´s see what my mando will say tonight.

Nice playing! Really enjoyed that. Great sound out of that Hinde mando as well.

SWEET!

Really sweet tune! Thanks for that

Nice tune and nice job. Thanks.

This heated up nicely! Really a sweet mix. I love the drumming! With a good bass player this would be a fun trio!

Hey folks! Sorry for the length glitch! Got the video fixed above. Thanks for watching and supporting Jonah and Nathaniel!

Nice!

I'm hardly an expert on jazz fusion, but what a fun and energetic performance! Good to see an electric on Mandolin Mondays played with such skill. Note: if you are intrigued by this first minute and a half, you owe it to yourself to see the other six minutes on Instagram and find out where they go. Otherwise, it's like reading the first two chapters of a novel and stopping . . . .

Well, different fr. the usual Mandolin Mondays! I like the drumming w. the mando.

Jonah wanted everyone to know the full version is on his Instagram page here.

FYI, on Instagram there is already a bunch of scam business going on, someone apparently with a username similar to David's telling people they've won and likely requesting some kind of 1) information, or 2) money in order to collect. Can't be sure.

David is having people tag 5 others and like his page in order to be eligible to win, so anyone that doesn't have an Instagram account will not be eligible. This is creating a lot of reaction, but possibly some things that you may not like. Impossible for us to tell if this will get shut down or not. Proceed at your own... amusement.

Noice!

An awful lot of notes and every one of them clear as a bell! Bravo!
