Hüsker Dü's "Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely" on mandola

Switching to mandola on this one. Actually I just have one instrument, which could either be a very long-scale mandola or a very short-scale octave mandolin depending on how I string it. I think I like the mandola strings better.

excellent.Gives me a new perspective. Few people can entertain one on one with an acoustic guitar. but maybe you should switch the pronuciation to "lone laaaaaaaay" instead of "lone leeeeeeeeeeee".

@crushsatan Why?

[cholling1]

Thanks, I guess... but... you DO realize that Grant Hart sang this song, right?

[piper108]

Great song choice!

[Miaisapunk]

Even though you're only using one instrument, there's nothing missing in the song, which can be a problem when arranging rock songs for acoustic. Very nice job.

@cholling1

just something my music teacher told us in school. (not as if I ever learned) If you pronounce words the way they "should" be pronounced they sometimes sound shrill, and unappealing. Can you imagine if Otis Redding articulated every word with perfect enunciation? I dare say he would never sell. Even Grant Hart does not enunciate "precicely". But it may be your style; you gotta be yourself. Damned if I can play that song; but your voice is your instrument, and you can tweak it.

Hey your cover is rather great and just decided to drop by to tell ya that.

Oh man... this is a truly a good cover.

Bravo man, that's just wonderful, you nailed the song more that even Grant could have. I'm sure he's okay. Grant is so cool, you know.
