I haven't read this entire post but here is my 2 cents.. the new bands Flogging Molly Dropkicks Enter the Haggis are putting there twist on all the classic tunes made famous by the Clancys and...

Cleveland Celtic Podcast.. great stuff... and they featured my band on there too! www.myspace.com/thefeniansons no mando though..that is why I am here!

Derek Warfield on any of the Wolfetones discs... powerpacked and that's what I want to do..I just don't know how

My progress has been lackluster at best... so I will be watching this post...Im the front man in The Fenian Sons, and I don't play anything, so I;d like to learn a little mando......we shall see

I am in th esame boat...getting real comfortable doing those basic scales and getting the fingers moving......but i need something to put them into practice and don't know really where to go from...

Thats all the replies I got!!!http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif Something I said!!!??haha

I actually feel like I am getting better at this mando thing...I was strumming to Handle with Care by the Traveling Wilbury's, and felt pretty good... BUT THEY WERE TWO FINGR CHORDS! C D G! now any...

you're a good man.

Anyone have it, or anyone have the notes...it is an awesome tune.

That sounds about right from what Ive heard on the cd's, but I'' take anybody else's input too. #And playing by ear seems to be the best way to figure out this problem I'd say.
Thanks again Red. #If...
