Hey friends! What's your favourite microphone for acoustic instruments like guitar or mandolin? In my latest video, I take a look at one mic that sounds great for studio use and live playing. Looks cool too! Check it out!
Hey everyone! Mandolin legend Mike Marshall has had a great career, which began when he joined David Grisman's band as a teenager. He also got to record with Gypsy Jazz great Stéphane Grappelli. Mike talks about that in this clip from an interview on my channel. You can watch the full interview on RPM.
Hey friends! The tune "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls has some of my favourite mandolin parts in a pop song. They were played by LA studio ace Tim Pierce, who sat down for an interview with me on my YouTube channel a while back. In this clip from the interview, Tim explains his approach to the studio. Mandolin TAB for "Iris" is available on my Patreon site.
Hey friends! Something a little different this week. Looking at an interview I did with mandolin legend David Grisman, I found a great clip about his first meeting the great Jethro Burns. Dawg says another future mandolin legend was waiting in the wings. Watch the full interview on my channel Rock Pop Mandolin.
Hey friends. If you're just getting into mandolin or are looking to upgrade, this video might help. It provides advice on buying the right instrument based on those in my own collection. Purely subjective, of course. But helpful, I hope. Enjoy!
Hey friends! Putting my new Northfield mandolin to work on this Django Reinhardt classic. It's the solo from his first recording of Minor Swing. I've changed some parts to better suit the mando. It's really cool. Mandolin TAB is available on my Patreon page.
