While My Guitar Gently Weeps on Mandolin (manofnofixedinstr)

[gounderus]

This is quite a gutsy move to play such a moving song on mandolin! Well done!

[manofnofixedinstrume]

@gounderus Thank you very much!

@pyroguitarman4ever

Whoa man. That is a bold and equally ignorant statement to make. This guy is posting a piece of art he has worked on. I would love to see what you do on your spare time. Probably something no where near the level of talent it took to transcribe this song. This also coming from a guy named pyroguitarman4 ever. Are you fucking kidding me? What a fucking clown.

[guitarplayindude1241]

is that a the epiphone 30mm mandolin cus it may the same as mine

[manofnofixedinstrume]

@guitarplayindude1241. I'm not sure if its the 30mm version, but yes an Epiphone. Ever notice that Epiphone guitars and such are just labelled as "Epiphone", whereas, any Epiphone mandolin is labelled as "THE Epiphone"! (I'm not sure why though)

[guitarplayindude1241]

@manofnofixedinstrume well apparently epihone came out with a series once called the epiphone and the gibson and yes id did spot thaat!

[andrewniwdog]

@manofnofixedinstrume they do that on gibsons do, labeling it "the gibson". i have no idea why either though

[redhook4]

@manofnofixedinstrume That's because on Gibson Mandolins it says "The Gibosn!" or at least older Mandos it says that. It's a little odd but It's also pretty cool.

[Kobra1029]

@manofnofixedinstrume Gibson/Epiphone did that their older guitars also..I think its only on older Epiphones/Gibsons also

[JDtests]

Could you make an instructional video? I just started, and this is something I'd like to learn.

[EvannRachel]

Groovy!

[chachiercolaful]

beautiful

[1bountifulinc]

[ChinaWaat]

[bkpenta]

while my mandolin gently weeps

[cadjunk]

Very pretty sounding on the mandolin. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Take care. Gwen

[apd127]

if you don't have the tabs, could you post another video of a close up of your fretboard so we at home who struggle with playing by ear can learn?

[nrthrnskigazr]

I'm kind of new at playing mandolin and I would like to do this song for a music recital at my school, I've figured out how to pick it but I was wondering if you could give me some help as to what chords you play along with it in the beginning? I am really in love with your version, it's a lot better than all of the songs where people straightly pick it.

Thanks so much for posting this, I think all of the songs you've covered are really great!

[mossymando]

When you go at something like this is your analysis strictly by ear, or do you figure out chord/note combinations from music theory? Your tune was great, sounded all there.

[manofnofixedinstrume]

When I sat down to play this on mandolin I had already memorized the chords from the guitar arrangement (i.e. Am-C-D7-F, etc), but had to find the melody on the mandolin, while simultaneously playing the most appropriate chord inversion to accompany the melody. (And this I did mostly by ear.)

[TdubsRIFFaWEEK]

@manofnofixedinstrume wow

[Staralbion]

very nice cover!

Am getting my mandolin for christmas tomorrow!

[etwchamps]

nice job picking your mandolin i bought mine last night and ares are the same

[Shampoo450]

good job

[lyndsayiu5]

There was a guitar in the original versions...

What about the obvious distortion and guitar solo?

[MelkorBauglir16]

he meant in his own two recordings...in case you hadnt already realized this

[thomasmantellwilliam]

SB "while my mandolin gently weeps"! Nice song, MandoMan

[imonyourlist]

can you write a tab for this?

please!

[manofnofixedinstrume]

Sorry, I dont have any tabs for this song on mandolin or guitar. I was just picking the melody with chords.

[Nvrsmrlongboardr]

could u write one?????

[Laryodienhizer]

dude...can i get a tab of this? no one has it online...=/ it would be of great help...send message to my channel? thanks

-Lary

[number1covers]

Nice playing.

I think you might like my band's version of "Lucy in the Sky" with mandolin. See video at my youtube page.

Some folks say its better than the original and it probably is.

[ilvemymom04]

Let's not be humble or anything...

But I'm sure you're much more amazing than The Beatles.

[ACU5TIC]

Nice one,like the version

[JulesMadsen]
