Fantastic playing!
It takes time to get right. At the beginning of my mandolin journey, I thought I was being clever by trying to place my fingers as close to the frets as possible because that's what I'd seen in...
Thank you for the fundraising! You play very well together, and those wooden dancers are great fun.
When I listened to your video, I guessed that #1 could be a Blue Chip. They do seem to take away quite a bit of treble. Some people like that dark tone, others find it muffled.
You play well with...
Pick 2 was my favourite. The other two are OK, too. You can have a lot of fun with any of them.
I look forward to the unveiling!
You're right, I didn't notice the ambiguity when I sent my message. Let me clarify: The drone notes sound really good. :))
Personally, I don't like the look of F style that much. So I don't experience this looks-versus-tone dissonance discussed here. But you know what you want, so let's take that as the starting point. ...
It really does. Those drones work ever so well.
What an arrangement! You've created something wonderful there.
Sounds great!
I always enjoy listening to this one, and I've listened to it a lot since buying your Perinmama album. It seems to have a calm but energising, almost healing, effect on me. I love all the voices and...
This song works very well on mandolin, and your version especially! Thank you, I'll certainly look at the full video.
Kevin, those are great recordings and a nice souvenir of Ali Baeg. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for asking this question. I have the same problems and will try some of the advice kindly offered here.
What Cheryl said. It takes a lot of courage and talent to sound so good on solo mandolin.
Thank you, Richard. I watched the film for the first time today and feel in awe of the scholarship, music, narration and technical work that have gone into this. It's really something special, and I...
This one will be deservedly well received too. Super nice!
Looking forward to it!
I enjoyed that! Thank you for the introduction.
Yes, the mandolin was considered a workers' instrument. Perhaps they were cheaper than other instruments. Mandolin orchestras in Germany emerged from workers' associations and the Wandervogel...
It's not often I get to see such a talented child! My son would struggle to avoid breaking the mandolin, let alone play it so well. When did Leo start learning?
I haven't bought one, but I've tried several Ashbury instruments in my local Hobgoblin store. They're good for their price segment. The sort of thing that a hobby musician may play for many years and...
A special occasion - the last musical outing with the old work colleagues, friends, after-work strummers and occasional open-mic band before new jobs and long-distance house moves cause the natural...
There are many contenders.
Bill's hammered dulcimer is usually the main attraction at our local session.
One of the most entertaining sessions I've ever attended was at a local pub, before it...
I've forgotten the details, but it has to do with the longer notes replacing some of the triplets that characterise jigs. There may also be a different dance associated with it!
