Classical (Cristofaro - Mazurka)
I always go for sound first, especially the ability to control the sound (aka with fingers on strings)
I also prefer a minimum movement of the hand. In the...

Well, so much for sleeping tonight!
thanks, great stuff!
I am with you on the guitar side. However, that seems to be a predominantly classical approach. Considering the development of the mandolin, that makes sense to me.
What I have noticed is that the...
I've seen 2 very different hand positions. 1 for Classical (not unlike a classical guitar position) and another for just about everything else.
within these, there are differences as well.

Not much out there, but you could try these:
traditional music library, not a long of mandolin, some confusing search results (mentions mandolin, but no mandolin tab)
I did a search for "blues...
Did a little digging, it looks like this is an origional.

I've just started stealing some guitar stuff (more on the jazz side). revoicing chords is the only hard diference. (but a great learning tool!)
Also, I am totally in to Wes Montgomery! love his...
Well.... so much for sleeping tonight.

thanks for this!

I feel your frustration. there is a great book on Guatemalan Marimba that is just about impossible to purchase. Inter-library loan was the only option. (Marimba is one of my other passions in life)

I can't help but notice that this music is "Property of Anthony ?? ftergiotis??, Manchester, NH"
I live about 1 hour from Manchester. Anyone know who this is?

Ok, so I started this thread thinking that I'd have time to put some of it together as my own resource...
what was I thinking?

I guess I'l have this conversation on bookmark for a while. A...

@ fumblefour
Actually... I didn't know either of those sites! thank you so much!
Early in the research... hoped someone had beat me to it. :-)
Carl
Thanks!
This is a great start!
are there any resources for things that are not public domain?

Have you ever tried to do a secret handshake through the internets?
;-)

I'm familiar with the Calace page, and other specific resources, but I'm thinking more of a formal / scholastic list. ...
Rock on! :cool::mandosmiley::cool:
