Hey guys, I'm new to the cafe (and new to the mandolin. only been playing for about a month).

Can anyone suggest some good listening and maybe some traditional bluegrass/fiddle tunes that can help boost my phrasing, vocabulary etc.


I can play a bunch of Thile tunes up to speed (but obviously mando cannot live on Thile alone ) so feel free to hit me with some harder stuff.

Thanks for your help, just looking to become well versed.

I've found plenty of scales and picking exercises for the more structured practice, but here I'm just looking for quality music to get into.


P.S.- Sheet music or tablature will both work.
