That's it, thanks Jim!
Hey All,
Just got a new old mandolin, wondering if any of you knowledgeable folks could help me correctly identify exactly what I have. From what tiny bit of research I've done, seems like an...
Many correspondences throughout the years, and a great stairwell session just us two at IBMA in 2016 along with a couple late night beers at the hotel bar. Just had a messenger exchange last...
Hey John, here's what Jesse plays on the intro from the original recording. Absolute bear of an intro at that tempo, he's such a hoss! The fingerings are mine, Jesse may make a couple of these...
Unfortunately, nowhere to purchase either, although you can stream AIA on Take's bluegrass channel.

I bet that's it.
Hi there, H, not sure what those numbers mean, they're certainly not fingerings. Here's how I play it based on the notation in his Mel Bay book.

Hey Friends, hope you all are well. New vids and a brand new youtube page for my local swing band here in Boulder. We currently have three subscribers:), so any yt love you could throw our way...
Calace is in the shop, so the Ellis will have to suffice. Trying not to forget over here.

Very cool, this is obviously where Dave learned the melody, and he also has Johnny's mandolin solo transcribed in his Masters of the Mandolin book. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could have met Jethro. Bet we would have been buddies, although I'm sure he never met a mandolin player he didn't like ('cept ol' Bill:) ). I have been lucky enough to have some time with...
Melody and solo from his album Art in America.

Hey, thanks John! Odd that you would post the exact chords that I would use:)(actually way better than I would come up.with). Yeah, we all get closer to Jethro by studying Django, hope everyone...
Hey Friends, long time no see, hope you all are well. Transcribed this last year for Steve Smith's mando camp, made a youtube video after and have had a few requests for the transcription. Thought...
Hi Scott, I play F5 Special #380, completed in early September 2016. This mandolin was the first place prize at the 2016 National Mandolin Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS....
Hi Manolo, this arrangement comes from Jack Tottle's Bluegrass Mandolin book. The melody, first, and last solos are tabbed out there, the middle solo is mine, added to increase the length for use in...
It does make three for Solly, first person to catch Dave Peters!! Big congrats to Solly, wish I could've seen that.
One of the best to ever touch pick to a mandolin. Thanks for the great interview, Scott!!
Hi Mitch, nice playing! And very cool multitrack/video editing! Your pick grip / the way you plant your wrist and move your hand / etc... is not that big of an issue, IMO.... The main technique...
I did it successfully from Denver to Portland last year, gonna try it again next Tuesday. Both times on Southwest with early bird, carrying a Calton with an F5 and my bowlback in the moderately...
Funny, we both have names that can be inverted and still work. Hope you're well, Martin!
Hi Jairo, the g__ means down stroke, so down stroke through both notes of each eighth-note grouping in 72.
In 73, the tremolo notes only have one slash through the stem, which means eighth-note...
Hello Jairo, In the first exercise, my understanding is that you play the notes separately with down strokes. Like this:

And the second exercise,...
A bittersweet new acquisition, I inherited a beautiful old Gibson A Jr. from my dear friend Nancy Thorwardson. I'm honored to have been chosen to be a caretaker of one of her instruments, I'll make...
