Hello fellow mando pickers,
I am in the process of writing a book on all things right hand. I don't feel like there is enough resources for the right hand world of mandolin picking and I wanted to try a fill some of that void. Don't get me wrong, there are some great resources for right hand picking but we should keep developing the conversation about it. We shouldn't be in the dark about it, because the right hand is SO important.
I have some heavy mandolin cats showing interest in the project. Joe Walsh and Ethan Setiawan have been generous with their ideas and support and pickers like Mike Marshall, Caterina Lichtenberg, Mike Compton, John Reischman, Dominick Leslie, Carlo Aonzo, Aaron Ramsey, David Benedict, Forrest O'Connor, Thomas Cassell and others are showing that they'd like to be a part of it.
My question to all the mandolin cafe members is what would you like to see in this book? Are there any burning questions you have about the right hand that you would just love to ask a professional mandolin player? I have formulated a big list of important topics that are kind of talking points for the interviews with the aforementioned pickers but I want your questions/opinions as well. I really want this project to be a primary source for learning and educating the mandolin masses about the possibilities of the right hand.
Can't wait to see what y'all come up with!
Jake Howard
