Heh heh, reminded me to go learn my 9th and 13th fingerings for 8 sting - a little reverb, phase, a touch of flange, some syncopated scratch....Mando Psychedlic Funk, here we come!!!

That's a really nice clip, Loren.
Listening to it reminds me of the main problem I had, and sometimes still have, adjusting to mandolin. Coming from guitar, I really missed the sustain and I was tempted to try to fight the instrument to get more sustain, as you might if handed an inferior guitar while yours was being restrung or something. Of course, you just have to accept that it is not 'that kind of instrument' and play it accordingly.

That's a big part of it I think. The other part is noticing that certain runs sound great without sustain. There was one really fantastic repeated run in that clip that was like that.rh wrote:i knew i had become a real mandolinist when i started liking tremolo, both listening to it and playing it.Wombat wrote: Listening to it reminds me of the main problem I had, and sometimes still have, adjusting to mandolin.
