We're headed off to go camping over the fourth and rather than lug my guitar around on the trip, I'll be bringing the mando and a tenor uke.

Anyone have some favorite campfire tunes that work well...

I agree, open A sounds pretty rotten in my opinion. When faced with a tremolo on A I always opt for the closed position. I also think it adds much more consistency to the tone to play closed whenever...

Their take on Down Along the Dixie Line is great. While I really like and appreciate CT's version of Another New World; I don't think it quite hits the strength of Ritter's original. I could also be...

No pun intended? :whistling:

For some simple(ish) songs that may be really familiar (easy to hear when you get right or wrong) and sound great on a mando, I'd recommend learning some Christmas...

Couldn't agree more, it's so much easier to know when you've hit the wrong note when you are already very acquainted with the song you're practicing.

I've only been playing mando for a bit over a month, and wanted to do it right and learn standard notation in place of tabs from the beginning. What I've found the most helpful is just getting my...

This is great! Thanks so much for putting both of these together.

After a little more searching, it looks as though LilyPond already has a settings file for mandolin fretboard chord readouts.

Here's the link:...

I'm a big fan of LilyPond for engraving sheet music. There are a number of editors you can use so that you don't have to script out the .ly file from scratch as well. I've been using Frescobaldi...

So apparently the forum threads are time-sensitive and lock your ability to edit previous posts. I've updated the scale sheet but am unable to upload it replacing the original on the first thread.

I'll need to get to my other computer tomorrow to be able to make the edits to the file. Sorry if the typo on the table for the pentatonic scale confuses or misleads anyone.

Yup, big typo there. I'll try and get it fixed asap. It's correct on the diagram/pattern (light shaded boxes) just not on the table.

I'll see if I can get it fixed asap.

I had some time over lunch so tried to incorporate a couple of updates based on suggestions. See the original post for the updated file.

Let me know if there is any way you think we could improve...

Thanks for your suggestions - I thought about giving the minor scale the flattened notes; in my own mind I tend to find it more useful to just think of the scale on it's own but technically they...

I got my first mando last week and haven't been able to put it down. I've played guitar for years and have always wanted to try my hand at mando so I've been really excited to finally get the chance...
