Steve Windwood on mandolin
Excerpted from http://www.guitar.com/articles/steve...-guitar-player
Guitar.com: In the 1980s, you started incorporating mandolin into songs such as "Slowdown Sundown" and "Back in the High Life Again". When did you first start playing mandolin? What appealed to you about it?
Winwood: Mandolin always intrigued me as an instrument because it was tuned in fifths, as opposed to being in fourths like a guitar, so the fingering was quite different. But the tunings I used on mandolin for "Slowdown Sundown" and "Back in the High Life Again" were standard mandolin tunings, that is (starting from the first string): EADG.
