A cover song I recorded on my new ipod touch using garageband, kind of an experiment to see what it could do. It was just four quick takes to put the tracks down, mostly improvised... hoping to get things tighter to record some originals.

Nice. What did you use for a Mic?
This is me along with Dave Merritt at a Ringtones show at a local coffee shop. There are 3 girls in the band but this was the boy band part of the show.
As you can see, I hold the pick a little differently than everyone else, but I've been playing mandolin for over 40 years and began my musical journey as a drummer.

Thanks for that Pefjr,
Really nice to get some good feedback, and slightly sureal (in a good way) to hear this coming all the way from Las Vegas
My avatar came about as I have a friend who is a talented artist and he offered to paint a picture of me playing the mandolin which he did. It did feel a little weird to put a scan this up here but seemed like a shame not to.
Sounds good Jim. Looks like fun.
Your mandolins sounds great. Who made it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present my first all original music video, written, performed, and produced by yours truly brother Michael Paul. It sort of freaks me out a bit putting my own stuff out there for the first time... more tunes to come!

Here's an arrangement of Dark Eyes. The intro and last variation are from David Peters (transcribed in the Mel Bay book Mandolin 2000), and the middle arpeggiated variation is transcribed from Charlie Provenza off the album "An Evening at Gorky Park".
Me and my friend messing around, quite a few mistakes but we where just playing around
Here's my take on Jenny Lynn, done with an Elkhorn F-5 in sawmill (AEAE) tuning.

what is sawmill tuning?
Pipeous,
Sawmill tuning is also called cross tuning, but in my case I tuned the G strings up to A and the D strings up to E, so the mandolin is tuned AEae. It's more common with fiddlers and banjer pickers I guess, but it allows for some good drones in that key and it's an easy way to switch a song up and play it in a different octave. Here's a previous discussion from the cafe:

well that's cool. I was plinking on the fiddle last night and actually making noise resembling scales. might have to tune the fiddle to that and see what happens. interesting. I learn so much from this place my head feels about ready to explode at times
a little crosspicking using a capo

Thank you, Larry and pefjr! Nowhere near the tone, speed, or finesse that David produced, but it's a work in progress I really love his style, wish that I could have met him. It's great that folks who never got the chance have a few resources (Art in America, Masters of the Mandolin, Mel Bay "Dark Eyes" arrangement, etc.) to examine his playing and influences. It would be great to hear him today, no doubt he would be at the top of the heap.
Great playing, Dan!
