  1. Re: AI and music: Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow and Jon Bon Jovi

    For an interesting take on disco, check out Les Claypool’s Duo de Twang version of Stayin’ Alive. The version from the Four Foot Shack album even has mandolin. I won’t link it here since the thread...

    Re: Simply Bluegrass - Full Episode 1

    I don’t want to hijack this thread, but pianos and bluegrass reminded me of a story. Years ago my friend's fairly traditional bluegrass band, guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and bass, was playing a...

    The notes on YouTube offer some explanation about these pieces and the theory they may have been written for mandolin.

    Re: Rhythm of The Falling Rain

    Yes, I also get the prompt to download html. I then use an online html to mp3 converter to create a playable mp3. Being able to play them without those steps would be great.

    Re: What are these chords

    Try 3356 for the Bb then slide it up two frets to 5578 for the C.
  9. Re: A sadly misinformation-laden bit of mandolin "scholarship"

    Good hunch about the use of AI. There are tools such as ZeroGPT to estimate how much of the text was generated by AI. For this mandolin-related item posted on that website, ZeroGPT says it is 100%...

    Re: Jackie brown by John Mellencamp?

    Good song! A good place to start is with the chords.

    It uses the I, IV, and V chords, but gets tricky with a minor iii and minor vi. Mellencamp plays it with a capo on the fourth fret of his...
