Mandolin Marches, Hornpipes and Reels

A few tunes from Scotland and beyond..... Here I am playing mandolin and guitar - double tracking. The tunes themselves are quite short so I have spliced several together.
The tunes are :
72nd Highlanders Farewell to Edinburgh (not 78th as I put on the video!)
Campbell's Farewell to Redcastle
Earl of Mansfield

Boys of Bluehill
Harvest Home

Musical Priest
Silver Spear

Harvest Home is very nicely done - I've been playing for years but my fingers still get tangled in that rundown. :)

Very nice, thanks! Why don't folk mandolin players use the little finger in the 1st position while classical players do?

@zimrisebastian

heh heh...sometimes they do! Just bad habits creep in ;o)

DO mandolins have truss rods? i'm looking at one that doesn't have the truss rod cover on the head, and i'm kinda worried the neck will go out and i'll be screwed

@overoath123

like guitars...some do, some don't - usually the more expensive ones do. I wouldn't worry about it.

Next time, mix the mandolin higher. And why the long face?
