  1. Fresh Prince Rap (On Mandolin Of Course) & Update

    Hey guys.

    I know I didn't post here this last Friday. Moving forward I'm only going to post the videos to this blog that are more mandolin relevant. This is another silly transcription I did a while ago.



    This Friday I'm putting up another song from a video game, so I won't put it up here, but I have another jazz mandolin video that I'll share!
  2. October - Ben Wendel [Acoustic] (#50)

    Hey guys! I'm back this week with a recording of a favorite tune composed by Ben Wendel, the amazing (Grammy winning) saxophone player/composer.

    This tune, titled "October" was originally performed as a duet between Wendel and jazz guitarist Gilad Hekselman. I'm absolutely in love with it and I hope you enjoy my rendition.



    Also, stay tuned for some more jazz mandolin content coming in early April!

  3. The Legend of Zelda [Acoustic] (#49)

    Hey guys!

    I couldn't resist doing another song from the new Zelda game. This one is more of a Django type waltz, so you may enjoy.

    Next week though, I'm coming back with a tune written by Ben Wendel, an absolutely amazing saxophone player and composer.

  4. The Legend of Zelda [Acoustic] (#48)

    Hyello. This week I put together a minimalist arrangement of a song from one of my favorite game franchises ever.

    I always include a section of improv so of course I took a chorus over it.

    Next week I'll be back with a combination of a Django song and another. See you then!

  5. Tiny Rick - Rick and Morty [Acoustic]

    Two weeks until I'm back with more jazz content. This week I did an arrangement of a song from a favorite animated show. It's a bit folky.



  6. Title Theme - Animal Crossing [Acoustic] (#46)

    Here is this week's cover!

    It's a mandolin/guitar arrangement of the title theme from one of my favorite games as a kid. I always dug the minimalistic tendency of this soundtrack.

    In other news! I just finished recording a jazz record with bassist Michael Gurrola. I'll be posting some material from it as soon as we put a video together.

  7. Forgot To Post Last Friday's Cover (#45)

    Hey guys!

    I forgot to post last Friday's cover here. This is the closing theme to BoJack Horseman, the animated show. The next couple of weeks I'm doing a few more video game themes, but look forward to some more jazz videos in a month or so!

  8. Spring Cleaning - Don't Starve [Acoustic] (#44)

    This week I did a gypsy-esque arrangement of a tune from a favorite video game.

    I used a couple more instruments this week to. Also, I have a special announcement I'll post in the forums next week!

  9. The Flintstones Meet Coltrane (#43)

    Hey guys! This week I decided to tackle some Coltrane licks. Hope you enjoy.

  10. Title Theme - Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [Acoustic] (#42)

    I've always loved this song. It's essentially an Irish tune in a Zelda game. As always, I threw in an improv section.
