I'm not sure why some of you are uploading images here when the Social Groups have perfectly good tools for doing so directly. It's only MP3s which cannot be uploaded to Social Groups. If you do not understand how to do that please ask someone within your group for instructions or PM the Mandolin Cafe account for assistance.

In The Bleak Midwinter parts
Really appreciate it Martin, that helps a lot, thanks. Nice vid too.
I’m trying to figure out how to, in a sense, walk all over someone else's solo -but in the nicest possible way! Probably very difficult to do well, and in many cases not advisable. And I want to be able to do this harmonically by ear, later using simple written chord progressions as a guide.
One of the many other possible uses of this will be playing a ukulele bass tuned in 5ths for a ukulele group to help them out.
