Mandoliniana: February 2015
http://mandoliniana.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Here's Indiana Firefly, a John Reischman. Tune from his 1999 CD Up In The Woods. Which has a lot of great little tunes for mandolin pickers. There's a transcription on Mandozine. Along with a lot of other transcriptions of Reischman tunes. Posted by David Mold. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Here's a link to all the posts with tab.

Mandoliniana: December 2012
http://mandoliniana.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Here's my attempt at Doc and Dawg, the title track to a wonderful album that Doc Watson and David Grisman made together. It was released in 1997 from tracks recorded over many years, mostly at Grisman's home. You can download the tab here. Posted by David Mold. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mandoliniana: April 2012
http://mandoliniana.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 2, 2012. Bury Me Beneath The Willow. I played a version of this for the Mandolin Cafe song a week group and someone asked me to tab it out, which made me look at it again of course and play it in a slightly different way. Anyway, here's more or less the version I tabbed out, and here's the link to the tab. You'll have to let the notes ring a little more than the tab really shows, but if you look at the tab and watch the video hopefully it becomes clear how I'm intending it to be played.

Mandoliniana: August 2010
http://mandoliniana.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. Posted by David Mold. Friday, August 20, 2010. Yet another fiddle tune with a girl's name for the title. This fiddle tune is the one quoted in Bill Monroe's famous song "Uncle Pen", he says in that song that Jenny Lynn is "where fiddlin' begins" - whatever that may mean. Slow one first, and then a faster one with full backing band provided by me, me and me. Posted by David Mold. Monday, August 16, 2010. Another good Bill Monroe bluesy waltz for a hot summer night.

Mandolin Don: May 2008
http://mandolindon.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Documenting my long musical mando journey. Saturday, May 10, 2008. On and On - in the key of G. A few bars later Bill does an interesting jump up to some double stops that descend from the D to the G followed by really cool rhythmic harmonics played on the D and G strings. Anyway, here's Bill Monroe's version:. And here's me playing it as transcribed by Mike Compton. And then faster. This is still only about 70% of Bill's tempo. He makes it sound easy, but he's really cooking. Saturday, May 3, 2008.

Mandolin Don: Back from Vacation and ready to pick some
http://mandolindon.blogspot.com/2008/05/back-from-vacation-and-ready-to-pick.html
Documenting my long musical mando journey. Saturday, May 3, 2008. Back from Vacation and ready to pick some. Well when Mike got back from down under and I had my first lesson again, it was obvious I had not practiced the last couple of songs he gave me to work up. Of course, I have plenty of excuses - as my other posts show, I have been working on other stuff and learning to record, etc. Mike: " sure, sure, I see how you are :)". So I decided I better start working on some of Mike's material in earnest.

Mandoliniana: May 2010
http://mandoliniana.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. This is a great Irish hornpipe that's tempting to perk up with a few floaty guitar chords. The melody I'm playing here is very similar to what's notated in the Mandolin Picker's Fakebook. Posted by David Mold. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Here's a link to all the posts with tab.

Mandoliniana: July 2010

Saturday, July 31, 2010. More Song A Week Thoughts. My last post really only covered the period after you know the tune you're going to play or have learned it from tab or whatever. But there's also a process I go through before I get to that point, so here are my thoughts about that. Posted by David Mold. Friday, July 30, 2010. A Song A Week. You don't have to join the song-a-week group on Mandolin Cafe. Here's how to learn a song as quickly as possible:. Are you Adam Steffey? Do not worry that the spee...
