I'm not afraid-I LOVE it also, grew up in a musical family and I sure have fun with it, playing old instruments is my weakness and luckily I have a wife that doesn't complain-not once with my MAS and...

Irving Berlin: "Always"

This is a 1925 song in waltz time by Irving Berlin, one of his best-known tunes. I have recorded it as an instrumental for two mandolins with tenor guitar backing, using...

Depends. I like Adam Steffey's playing first, same with Nathan Livers, Ronnie McCoury, Wayne Benson.

Also, people sometimes have lives outside of lurking on the cafe so that they are not ready...

I play mandolin in a gypsy swing band named Cottonwood Club. I've written a few Swing number tunes like Swing 13 and Swing 17. Recently we played a show here in Helena, Montana with a few guest...

I made a number one time that I call The Mayor of Swingville. It's the last track on the CD called Good Numbers.

In Jazz Mandolin Appetizers there's one called Minor(and Major)Swing and another...

Super job! Thanks, dcav.

And in Bb— all makes sense now.

But the lead sheet they're showing on the link is for an Eb instrument. You want it in "concert". Key of Db.

Looks to me like:

Bmaj7 / C#-7 (F#7/E) | B/D# / E-7 A7 | D#-7 G#7 C#-7 F#7 | Bmaj7

Sounds right too... :)

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my arrangement of OVER THE RAINBOW that I recorded at Peghead Nation world headquarters while taking a break from putting together my chord melody course for them. ...

Whispering! Nice guitar- great sound.

The round soundhole, flat back, and relatively small sunburst tend to indicate an early model; circa 1933 or '34.

I don't. I can play some stuff, but only after basically 20 years of practicing.

My 8 year old son, though... oh my word.
Got him a ukulele, and in about 4 months he knew all the chords. All the...

When one sees videos of young players who have not racked up thousands of hours, totally shredding it, one has to admit that they have an innate ability not afforded to the rest of us.

I am not a natural player but I wish I was.

People like Jimmy Rosenberg, Chris Thile, Sierra Hull and countless others are born with a natural talent and it shows.

Yep I agree, hearing the sound, IMO that's what it's all about. :mandosmiley: After a person has the sound in their head, then it's just a matter of figuring out the physical technicalities (makes it...

Depends on who's doing the assessment.

From *my* point of view, I've had to work like hell to achieve anything at all in music.

But from some family members and old friends' perspectives,...

Dcav, I am not sure, the seller has a number of instruments from a collection listed in the classifieds. The tenor guitars he listed are gone. Don't know if they sold or were pulled.

legend has it that the band would hide Eddie's amp, or cut the cord off, or whatever they thought they could get away with to keep him from soloing. Not that he couldn't, he could play like an angel....

Don is right that Condon played a tenor guitar tuned plectrum C G B D. He did end up having a plectrum guitar from Gibson, an L-5, but i've never seen a picture of him playing it. A great read is...

In the stack, I found this

062-06-Elmer Schoebel And His Friars Society Orchestra -Frank Teschemacher , Eddie Condon- Prince Of Wails.

At ~ 0:50 mark, there's a distinct 12-bar chordal solo,...

My ukes have 4 strings (one has 8 strings)
I have several 6 string guitars and a six string dobro.
Two mandolins that are tuned in fifths and largely gather dust
Three tenor guitars and 1 tenor...

I love the work you did here. I started digging the song and decided I would sing it at our local sing around. I'll be playing on a tenor uke though. Maybe I'll keep trying fifths tuning but I find...

at the library the other day I spotted a re-issue double CD entitled Dixieland Jazz:The Real Thing. four Classic Albums plus
