    I've Gotten Really Into Tenor Guitar

    Hey folks!

    It's been a long time since I've posted. Over the last year and a half or so I've sort of fallen off of the mandolin wagon and into the tenor guitar world. I bought a 1971 martin tenor...

    Hey folks.

    I just released an album, titled "Retro," on Spotify/Amazon/iTunes. I believe it's currently live on Spotify and Amazon and should be live on iTunes by the end of the weekend. It's a 20...

    Re: Eastman El Rey Video Review

    It seems I made an error there! It is listed as a 1 3/32 nut. I believe that makes it a little bit thinner than the standard 1 1/8th in. Strange considering how roomy the fret board feels. My bad on...

    I'm going to jump back in real quick and answer a few more things.

    First of all Jim DeSalvo: Here's a longer video that just consists of the mandolin being played:

    Re: Eastman El Rey Video Review

    I really dug your review as well!

    A ton of the initial impact of any instrument is the way that it is set up. That was my complaint about the tuners - they just didn't feel good. But I'm sure if I...

    Re: Alex Heflin on the Eastman ER-M mandolin

    I intentionally chose a very simple setup to show off the tone of the instrument. I just ran the mandolin straight into a Fishman Loudbox Artist.

    The eq was pretty flat and I threw on a small...
  10. Chopin E Minor Prelude Mandolin Arrangement

    I'm not a classical musician by any means, but I love Chopin's Op. 28 No. 4 and I arranged it for mandolin a few weeks ago.

    I put together a rough recording and a (very) rough sheet music/tab...

    Billy Joel Chord Melody

    Hey guys. It's been a while since I regularly posted any sort of video or arrangements, and I finally have had the time again. This is one I put together this week of the Billy Joel tune "Movin Out."...

    Awesome to see that transcription! Thanks for doing it Michael!
  14. Re: August Jazz TOM: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

    Sorry I haven't been posting every month! I've been going through some crazy life changes and it's been hard to have the time.

    I recorded this one about a year ago though and I thought it was...

    Re: May Jazz tune of the month: Body and Soul

    I did a quick take last night! It's a bit of a strange approach. What a beautiful song though.

    Re: March Jazz tune of the month: Soft Winds

    Here’s my take on it. This is a real simple rendition, just played the melody and soloed a couple times.

    I based the head and form on the Art Blakey recording of the tune, in which the head is...

    Tried a bit of a chord melody thing with a chorus and a half of solos.

    Moved across the country this week, so I barely had any time, but I put together this quick one-chorus improvised chord melody.

    Awesome! I heard Abercrombie passed earlier this week, and I was hoping to find something exactly like this.

  24. Re: "Hats Off" - A Mandolin/Upright Bass Record Coming Out May 5

    I personally really dig it. Redwood has a kind of darker/midrange tone that I love, especially in a jazz context.
  25. Re: "Hats Off" - A Mandolin/Upright Bass Record Coming Out May 5

    You nailed it. It is indeed a redwood top.
