Hope I've figured it out.

Little Maggie - he tied that rhythm nicely ar the end

[roysboy]

That's one small step for man.....and one giant leap for his son ....

[Phil Goodson]

I felt his joy.

[Minorkey]

Very cool! I see you're in Wales too. Nice to see bluegrass in the valleys!
Nice Klimt print behind you too

[Randi Gormley]

congrats! When we start to play, our kids leave as soon as they can. Or turn up the TV. At least you got him in the same room and on the same song!

I wish I could get my daughters interested in playing music with me!!!

Very nice guys!!

[Darren Bailey]

Another team effort.

[Zissou Intern]

Thanks for sharing these videos, Darren. I am hopeful that my boys will be picking songs with me some day. For now it would be a mandolin, French horn, trumpet trio. I am thinking Church Street Blues and Arkansas Traveler might work with that combo!

[Nick Pooch]

Cool stuff! He started playing bluegrass and got a haircut. Was there any relation with the two?

[Bernie Daniel]

Nice videos --thanks for posting! Great that you got him into BG -- now your next challenge is to get him to sing!

[jimj]

Very nice nothing like sharing good music with your son.

Some awesome videos there. That Wayfaring Stranger is remarkable -- sounds totally pro all the way -- good picking by both of you!

[Darren Bailey]

Hey Jacob, your playing blew me away - I'd happily pay to come see you play.

[Darren Bailey]

Hey jacob, your paying blew me away - I'd happily pay to come see you pay.

[Darren Bailey]

sorry - deleted repeat post

[Darren Bailey]

Our latest effort - my favourite so far.

[Denny Gies]

Darren, you guys are getting better and better. Ain't it fun?

[Pete Jenner]

Good on you lads.

[Darren Bailey]

Tried a tenor banjo this weekend - now he's really in deep.


Same GDAE as mandolin - Irish tuning

[Roland Sturm]

My son came home from college yesterday (and really just for a day, he's already off to Europe) and we played a few tunes. Was a nice thing to do sitting out in the backyard. He mainly plays fiddle (but didn't bring one), so had to do with a guitar here - especially since I had to try out my new Collings!

[Randi Gormley]

Roland -- lovely, and I like the pacing. We have a guy in our group who just can't seem to get the rest of us to play "Star Above the Garter" fast enough because it's a slide. He starts it fast, keeps pushing the pace and gets really angry if we don't play it at ludicrous speed. I feel like sending your version over to him!
