post a video of yourself

[DMosher]

It's really pretty easy to embed videos. From the youtube url copy just the string of characters right after v= then at the Go Advanced window click on the red Tube icon and paste that string into the popup.

Thank you, journeybear. Though with all those instructions... Sounds harder than the tecnique for making the switch between a full G - to D chop. I'll have to work on that too. But thanks!

[journeybear]

Oh, I dunno. That takes two hands. A lot of this computer stuff only takes one.

Anyway, you're welcome!

Well, I got one playing mandolin! I don't sing it very often and had to have the words in front of me, so I didn't really dig into it. It's funny how you can do that to a song you really know. Soloing in A...not my expertise. Or soloing in general. Oh well, we document, we improve, we move on.

Here are a couple of videos of my Holst asymmetrical I received in June.

I got filmed while warming up before a gig in Raleigh last year. Forgot about it until I was notified about this kickstarter. It is for a good cause:

I was clearing out some space on my hard drive and came across a few videos of a briefly-existing pickup band myself, my buddy Matt Witler, and a great banjo player John Rosen (unfortunately cropped from this vid due to setting up the camera in the wrong spot) put together. This was one of the few salvageable ones.

Some people on the board had asked for more of myself and Matt earlier, so here I am to provide. Also, this is a rare sighting of me singing actual bluegrass. Enjoy.

Here's a few from a little jam/cookout we had over the weekend. Perfect weather for it. Sorry the videos came out so dark...but well, it was dark.

I figured since I was bringing the thread to a screeching halt I might as well lay a few more out there

Great stuff there Steven, nice way to start my morning - except now I don't want to go to work, I'd rather find somewhere nice outdoors to go play music with some folks!

Cheers,
Jill

Looks like you may have had trouble embedding this video, it's so worth seeing I'll give it a try ...

From a few years back, a really impressive performance. The other two guys aren't too bad, either.

I played famous Bluegrass Breakdown . There was not it to a vids that many young splendid players increased in Japan. But I'm not young.

I just joined up on here last night, and am in the process of buying my first mandolin. Very excited!!! I found this thread, and have spent the last hour watching the members on here bringin' it on their instruments! You're all really good (understatement of the day) and I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you all for the inspiration! I'll be back on here tomorrow to watch some more.

I agree, there's some really great players on here. and I love to see how different everyone is in material, picking approach, etc. So many cool things out there!

I have a new one! I'll record the same song in a few days on mandolin and ya'll can decide which is better

Gillian Welch's Annabelle:

Sitting in w/ Chief Billy & Bob Paul and others, a benefit for Bahama Village Music Program (music education for kids) 11/7/10. Left to right: Steve Calderwood, Bob Paul, me (note Mandolin Café hat), Roger Van Zandt (drums), Chief Billy, and Bob Hall (played in Savoy Brown). This turned out better than I thought at the time. Fun doing this classic Ray Charles number and hitting that great riff in four octaves.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it very much - A really good rendition and video of a great blues song. Some fine playing on your part as well.

I think I have wrestled with that same feeling every morning for the last umpty-ump years.
