oh man, someone shoot the sound man. That is the worst sounding mandolin ever. I mean, it's blarring and distorting. Too bad, he seems like a good picker and with good songs, and, that's a nice vintage gibson he's playing. Doesn't do him justice.
Well, Im from Germany, and i play fingerstyle acoustic guitar by myself for 6 Years now. Everytime I hear this song, the beautiful sound from the mandoline inspires me to practice mor and mor. Keep it up, its wonderful!
when he plays the chord at 1:56 and again at 2:05 the distortion of the recording makes it sound exactly like a power chord on an electric guitar! hahaha. kind of a funny contrast. very beautiful sound though, i love mandolin music! well done.
a power chord isn't only on electric guitar you can play them on accoustick guitars and I wouldn't be surprised it there were power chords on mandolin
I know that. A power chord is just the interval of a fifth, and it can be played on any polyphonic instrument. I meant that due to the quality of the recording, the sound was distorted and I could only hear the root and the fifth of the chord, the distortion making it sound like an electric guitar.
Hey GetMagnet....Yeah! His shadow is hardly noticeable......its almost like I thought it was a REAL person behind him and THEN i realised ...jeez..its a stage backdrop.!! How goofy is that? Eh?
I really appreciated this!

No, it isn't. Not any harder than getting any other type of sound through.
