Lovely playing, Pete. What make is your acoustic mandolin?

My acoustic is a 1924 Gibson A2. The electric is a Jonathon Mann EM4, amp is a Quilter MicroPro 8.

If fact, Pete, you have the same mandolin as will Patten used to play, and that I play (but it never sounds anything like you or him). I love this mandolin. If first saw on a record cover for a recording by Andy Irwin and Paul Brady and thought it looked fabulous.

Great videos. Love the pace & gaps so I can scribble stuff down / take it in. Thanks

I must say Pete really has the touch and insights to what we need in learning things. Can't say enough about him so I hope it is O.K. to have him say it himself in the video. Bravo!
