post a video of yourself

[Larry Mossman]

Hey Cafe'.

Here is an attempt to embed a video of myself and good friend Ben Schmidt performing one of his songs at the local college radio station. He is a fantastic singer/songwriter and picker and it is a joy to play with him.

Let's see if this works ~

I can't exactly post a video of myself with my new Old Wave oval A, but here is a vid of Bill's son playing my new baby.

[Jill McAuley]

Lee, that thing sounds awesome! You must be counting off the days til you'll be able to get your hands on it yourself!

Cheers,
Jill

[Don Grieser]

Lee & Bill, congratulations on an amazing mandolin. Beautiful tone and we've seen the amazing woods and build quality. I'm available for light distressing--just a 5 or 6 hour drive away.

Here's my go at Muddy Creek.....

[KyleBerry]

Great Job Shaun! Thats the first time I've heard this song. Now I'm gonna try to learn it!

[grassrootphilosopher]

Here's my go at Muddy Creek.....

Post the same tune in the same recording setting with the Heiden please.

[wildpikr]

Nice playing on Muddy Creek. I think I'd like to learn that one...

Hello from Croatia!

I finally took some time to setup my cheap Savannah mandolin and I got adventurous enough to post a video of my playing. The video was taken with a camera phone, so I apologize for bad quality in advance. Also, you'll hear some mistakes since this is my first take on irish music and I'm still just a mandolin newbie.

Please, tell me what you think!

Oh, and I apologize for my English. O

P.S. How do I embed a video?

[Don Grieser]

Shaun,

We should take Muddy Creek over to the SAW social group. Sounds mighty fine on the Kimble.

Vedran,
Great stuff there and welcome to the cafe!!

To embed a video, do the following:

Copy the "embed" information that accompanies your youtube video (it's in that little box at the upper right hand corner of your screen) and then when writing up your post or reply here at the cafe click on the "go advanced" button at the bottom of the page - it'll take you to a reply screen where you'll see a little red "youtube" icon - click on that and then paste your embed info into the box that pops up. I think it gives you a "preview" option as well, so that you can see if you did it right.

Once again well done, and you should join the Song a Week social group here at the cafe, where we post videos of tunes all the time.

Cheers,
Jill

[sgarrity]

Great idea Don. I just posted them over there.

[sgarrity]

Post the same tune in the same recording setting with the Heiden please.

Here you go!

[grassrootphilosopher]

Very nice Shaun and thank you. These two instruments (Kimble Oval and Heiden A-5) exemplify the differences in sound between oval and f-hole instruments extremely well. Also the pick-hand position (where the pick touches the strings) shows nicely an archetypal sound in that position. I´m pleased.

[luckylarue]

Very nice, Shaun! Both mandos sound great.

[Brad Weiss]

And another one - picture in picture, pretty nifty, huh?

[Clamdigger]

Hey Lucky. Good job and I love the sound of your A4. How long have you had it? It sounds like it has opened up just fine. Gavin does great work and I can't wait for my A5 to arrive. Clamdigger

[luckylarue]

CD,
I've always admired Gavin's instruments from afar but I'd never thought I'd see/play one way down here in the southwest. Lo & behold, this used one built in 1999 came up for sale about a year ago by an acquaintance here in NM and I was indeed lucky enough to take it home, play it for awhile before even purchasing. Congrats on the new A5 - I'd love to check out one of his f - hole creations.

This from England, was a bit cold on the beach !

[Daniel Nestlerode]

I posted this to my blog and to the CBOM section here. But I just discovered this thread, so I'll add it here too.

Lots to apologize for in this video, but it's my first endeavor of any kind trying to capture video. So I let it stand mistakes and all. It was recorded using a Flip Ultra.

The instrument is a Weber Alder #2 mandola built in 2000 and tuned EBF#C#. Sharp eyes will notice the Allen tailpiece.



There'll be more as soon as I get over this seemingly interminable cold!

Daniel

[sgarrity]

Great video Daniel. That sounds awesome!

[Don Grieser]

Very nice, Daniel. That's a stellar performance of one of my favorite Kate Wolf songs. Thanks for posting it.

[Daniel Nestlerode]

Thanks guys!
I'm available for gigs.
In fact, my little Americana group, Zero Visibility String Band is playing a breakfast gig the Barnwood Restaurant in Ripon CA on April 3. I plan on firing up the altered 'dola for a bunch of tunes at that 3 set gig.

Daniel

Nice Daniel, Great vocaldola music! Some of the most entertaining artist to me in this style are great story tellers. As your confidence grows so will the power of your song.

[Jordan Ramsey]

Here's my attempt at Monti's Czardas. This arrangement comes from the late Dave Peters (with one phrase taken from the Fabio Machado arrangement).
