Mandolin Mondays #351 w/ Special Guest Jake Eddy

Rating: 1 votes, 5.00 average.
Have you ever heard a mandocello played quite like this? Flatpicker extraordinaire Jake Eddy is with us this week to burn this Monroe tune "Tallahassee" on his new 1921 Gibson mandocello.



Jake Eddy is a bluegrass guitarist born and raised in Parkersburg, West Virginia. He began his music career and lifelong addiction to the road by playing banjo professionally at the age of fourteen with bluegrass-legend Melvin Goins. His guitar playing, which is primarily influenced by bluegrass and jazz, is showcased on his debut album of fiddle tunes, entitled "Jake Eddy," which features such greats as Grammy-award winning Bryan Sutton, Rob Ickes, and Kenny Smith.

His amazing online guitar content has earned him thousands of followers on social media, and recently Jake has just started a Patreon page where he's sharing loads of bluegrass guitar tabs and teaching resources--check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/JakeEddy

And as always, tune in next week for more Mandolin Mondays! Until then...

Happy Picking!
David

    Speechless and drooling ...

    So funny that us mandolin players approach the m'cello like, "Ooo, the stretches are too much!", and Jake comes along and burns the barn down cause he finds it a comfy instrument.

    Many happy years with that beaut, Jake!
