Really nice! Waiting for her solo electric jazz album to drop...
Emando.com: More than you wanted to know about electric mandolins.
Notorious: My Celtic CD--listen & buy!
Lyon & Healy • Wood • Thormahlen • Andersen • Bacorn • Yanuziello • Fender • National • Gibson • Franke • Fuchs • Aceto • Three Hungry Pit Bulls
That was just perfect.
Very nice indeed. I'm coming around to the idea that my 8-string mandocaster ought to be a 4-string. Here we go again.....
I picked up a four string mandocaster (not a sixties model!) and it gets a lot more attention when the mood for electric comes knocking than my eight string Mandobird. On the odd ocassion I play for other people I'll use the Mandobird simply because I'm proud of eight and don't want my instrument mistaken for something else (if you know what i mean) but for personal satisfaction, the Fender doeas it.
Sierra plays beautifully, the hours of practice have given her a feel for her mandolins that few of us could ever dream of reaching - thanks for sharing this video.
Sierra Hull's new CD, Weighted Mind, due to be released on January 29, 2016, was produced by Bela Fleck. And, she studied at Berklee with John McCann and others. So who knows, maybe a jazz CD, solo or otherwise, might be ...
Fantastic! This is exactly what I had in mind when I started the thread below, "Hot Shot Players on E Mando."
And add me to the line of people eagerly awaiting her electric jazz album.
Re-visited this today after Ronnie's mandocaster solo recently, and Elderly's posting of a mandocaster for sale, etc. ... I love Sierra's Facebook videos to her fans, just awesome.

I think the 4 String Electric Mandolin might be easier for beginners to learn on because the single strings (at lighter gauge), & easier action are much easier on the fretting hand, especially for kids who don't have strong enough hands for Acoustic Mandolin Strings, & as Far as Barre Chords go.
