Re: Poll - what musical style do you primarily play on mandolin?
I like to play the following kinds of music.
1.what people have been calling "new acoustic music" (Mike Marshall, Chris Thile, John Reischman, Sarah Jarosz, etc.); much of which I'd consider a form of jazz played on traditional acoustic instruments.
2. Baroque (We should all go for baroque )
3. Playing rock that has a mandolin part (Led Zep, for example)
4. Adapting music not written with the mandolin in mind (Little Feat, Pink Floyd, Cake, Milk Carton Kids, Leon Russell, Joe Cocker, AC/DC, B-52s, Hendrix, many others)
5. Fiddle tunes - so I have *SOMETHING* to contribute at jams and music circles.
