Good stuff, Rich. I used your mandolin book to teach myself mandolin (I'm a professional guitarist/college music instructor). I had to learn it to play the mandolin parts in the Broadway musical, The Spitfire Grill - so when I went on a fishig trip w/ my dad to Canada in '05, I took a mandolin, your book, and a music stand and a boom box w/ he musical. I spent mornings in the cabin for a week w/ your book and the show book, learned the fingerings along w/ Turkey in the Straw, and pulled it off.
I had honestly never seen or heard of a mandolin before I came across your videos here on Youtube, it looks like an amazing instrument, love that bluesy tone.
Awesome music! My father bought me a mandolin for Christmas (a very big surprise), and I picked up your "Mandolin Method Book 1" (published by Hal Leaonard). Before receiving this instrument, I had been struggling with acoustic guitar for some time. The mandolin has renewed my interest in music, of any type, and hearing this songs just encourages me to practice even further. I am a beginner, and feel the music flowing within me already. Thanks Rich. This song really helped.
Thanks for this, Rich. A friend who passed through Bangkok recently, Bert Deivert, put me onto this; it's a joy for a wannabe mandolin blues player, and I'll be studying it endlessly and shamelessly copying your licks. Ron McMillan
With the economy going down the drain and people losing their jobs left and right, there has to be a better way. I mean who doesn't become filthy rich these days?
The content in this video is incredible! These are the same techniques I use to generate a recession proof income. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to watch your future videos.
that was an inpspiration. ive just ordered a second hand mando on ebay to get me started. i ll check out your site too. thx so much, from another skinny english white kid, tho 10 yrs younger than Mick jagger,living in france
Rich, Didin't get a chance to say goodbye last night at Pavilion Blues Jam at AUgusta last night. Thnaks again for a wonderful Augusta experience. There were so many tasty classes it was hard to decide. I took your slide class which was awesome and Andra's mandolin class which was also. YOu did a great job as coordinator and I can't wait till next year. Thanks again and hope to see you next year if not sooner.
Sweet music! I just got your Mandolin Blues book last week and I'm working my way through it slowly. I'm a beginner, but your book is great to learn with. Probably the best and funnest I've used for self-instruction so far. Thanks! You're an mandolin inspiration.
I have an opportunity to work in Austria next summer. Maybe I can swing up to your home. Can we talk about some work in Sweden? Hope we can work together.
Been playing da blooz for 40 years - on bass, though. Now I've got your CD, got your book, got a Phoenix on which I am teaching myself (with your help). Got a long way to go, though, to get near you, Rich! Keep pickin'!
