A little picking exercise I came up with for myself...
...and a late night improv. If you can call it that. Well, it was night time, I suppose, so at least the first part is accurate

Interesting, Jo. The instrument's tone suits the Django backing. I loved your final flourish with the pick!

Hey folks,
I’m a classical guitarist but am frequently working out my mandolin chops and recently came across this gem of a tune, so I had to make a video.
Reuben Sandwich by Jethro Burns. Enjoy!

Very cool,MasterZac! Love that tune.
Are you using a pick or your thumb nail?
Thanks for listening! I’m using a pick. I’ve been toying around with different picks, on this video I was using the rounded Golden Gate MP-12.
Nicely done . . . keep up the good work.
Nine pound hammer. First break is from banjobenclark, the other two I came up with, borrowing a few licks from several places as is the norm.
Also broke a string filming the first time, it's the only time I've broken a string on video:
Mandolin: Kentucky KM150
Other instruments: way too many, and yet, not nearly enough.

// Road to Columbus //
Been learning some things by ear off of classic recordings, borrowing a few choruses from the best.
current joys:
Gibson F-5G | Northfield A5 Special | Kentucky KM-150 | Mid-Mo M-70 Octave | Martin HD-28V | Gold Tone BC-350 | 5-string Mandoblaster | Les Paul | Strat | Piano | Bongos | Tacoma Thunderchief | old Dobro | Some amps & microphones
Aaron Smith - cool, my band does that tune on occasion, I always say - if you need an example of pure American Bluegrass tune, Road to Columbus is as good as anything else!

Great thread, some talented folks here for sure! I've been an on again/off again mando player for awhile. I'm committed to improving this year and have been making some videos of my playing. So while not as talented as many of the folks here, I'll play along....
You have all the talent you need, by the sounds of it! And a very nice looking and sounding mandolin.

...and playing Little Maggie by John Reischman, the down tempo version.
a spontaneous composition, on the Kent Electric Mandola, this is the second one, I am simply calling these "night hymns" so this is the second night hymn
