AD,

I Just got a copy of Mike Seeger's Old Time Mandolin book and tape from Homespun. It opened my eyes to a few things, especially rythym playing.

Amazing Slow Downer. It's software that allows you to slow tunes down. Then get fiddle cds on rounder records and slow them down.

Here's a good site w/lots of old timey tunes:

They're midi's, but still learnable for mando. Really, any fiddle tune can easily be transposed over to the 8-string.
