Little Wing -- Jim Richter, octave mandolin

[FourTwentyAdventures]

How many fingers does he have?

[leejonesmusic]

never heard an octave mandolin before, sounds great :) love the playing!!

[JohnnyGrass]

Hell yeah!

[xBigPun04x]

Really good man

[madmonkeymcnite]

holy crap, i wanna be you so baddd

[TomMoranoHimself]

ya i'm sure you've heard it many times but you are indeed AMAZING. keep it up

[boomerramone]

you're amazing

[kungfuasgaeilge]

I thought your beard was a shadow for ages XD

You're a credit to humanity, everyone should strive to be as good as you at something, and if that thing happens to be producing beautiful music, and crossing genre borders, breaking down preconceptions, all the better!

Hopefully I'll get somewhere near as good as you with the Bouzouki by the time I'm 90

It's strange hearing lovely mellow notes on a mando, it's always just twang to the max. Again, very well done Sir!

[Meowmoomeowful]

You. Are. Amazing.

[Catfishchief]

Nice arrangement. Not an easy thing to do with amndolin conversion. Very nice

[lpymaynard]

You have cost me alot of money. I had to go buy a mandolin but mine doesn't play like yours, ha ha. Thanks for entertaining us. Great job!

[steventherockgod]

This has swayed my decision; I am now buying a Mandolin :D

[3R1Krocker]

Today i was working in my local music shop, and sold this guy a mandolin, ive never even picked one up nevermind played one, but after i sold it i was inexplicably inspired to play one. Ive played guitar for a little over a year, and now ive been seriously debating all day. You might as well have sold me one X)

[BigDITKA11]

You go my head bobbin

[scottdylan20]

Magnificent, if you added a bass and drum track it would sound so good.

[hazor777]

NICE, man. I love that you got in those embellishments and had some vibrato too. Ive never heard vibrato done on a mandolin. Keep it up, we like this stuff!

[SixStringSolid]

uuuuggghhhh i want one of these so bad!!

does anyone make a 5 string octave mandolin?

[forbzee63]

[hillsboritosk8er]

[bigsamable1]

Again very nice, youve won a fan in me.

[bbrizzy89]

Hey sorry I'm a mandolinist and I'm just trying to figure out.. are the pairs on an octave mandolin unison an octave down, or one high and one low? Does it vary? Thanks. And nice playing as always Jim I always stumble upon your videos.. sometimes when im looking for my own :D

[IkkeBareAnders]

Thats really inspiring and nice!

Thanks!

[Danny011189]

You are so good. I am going to your site to look for a cd. Nice mando too!!!! Keep up the great music!

[TheDabinator]

I am liking the octave mandolin, and the song of course!

[mherlihy0816]

Another great arrangement. 5 stars.

[thanksforallthefish]

Your new mandolin has such a beautiful sound! I liked this and especially loved "Junk" and "Wish You Were Here". Please, more in that vein? (Would also love to hear you work out some Stevie Ray -- like "Lenny" -- or some Beatles/solo Beatles songs.)

Also, Dad told me you and Gordon Bonham won a contest? Congrats on that. Is there any video of it online (I hope)?

[mandokiddo]

I would love to learn how to play that on my octave mandolin! It would be really cool if you could possibly tab that intro part out!

[BaronK69]

Sweet! That octave sounds really great - almost like a 12-string guitar, but still the nice bluegrassy tone of a mando. Awesome playing of course!

[jigzo78]

awesomo

[kingincrimson]

This sounds so natural on this instrument.

[StimpoTube]

awesome, I love hearing hendrix on the mando and you do it beautifully

[harrisoncrabfeathers]

beautiful Kimble! Wow!

[botulizer]

[BoxCubeSquare]
