New to forum - Darrell Scott Mandolin

Hello everyone!

I am new to the forum, but I picked up the mandolin a few months ago and I am trying to learn some songs. I recently discovered a video of Darrell Scott performing "it's a great day to be alive" on the mandolin. Would any of you have any thoughts on the chords or riffs he is using? I might be getting my chords crossed, but I think he is in the key of F and using Bb and C throughout the song. Am I on the right track? I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you folks might have! Thank you!

Hello, I'm new also. Someone else may can help you.

You're on the right track. It's in F, chords used are F - Bb - C, with a Dm and Am at times. Hard to pick out individual riffs, but it's all based on the F major scale with slides and grace notes thrown in. He's playing it with a capo at what I'm imagining is the third fret, so he's in D relative to the capo, using open D, G and A chords.
