Crap crap crap!

Emulating blues guitar cliches on a mandolin is crap.

Crap crap crap!

France wouldn't know blues if it fucked them in the ass.

They are in to that.

very classy post, as usual, Mr haunter...

[haunter112]

Ahhh...

Another half-ass guitar player attempts to learn mandolin.

Keep practicing, Pops.

Jethro Burns, you ain't.

[mahjun]

...and I won't ever ! I don't really like bluegrass.

By the way, I play electric violin, not guitar.

amicalement,

Jean-louis Mahjun

OK, You just HAVE to tell us!!!!, What kind of pickup are you using? What string guages do you use? Did you make any other modifications to the mandolin? Please, Please tell us!!!

[mahjun]

it is half the mic of a fender precision bass.

normal gauge but one fifth below.

friendly,

@vibratingstring Reread my comment i did give him credit. "It's an attempt is all i can truly grant you" meaning nice job for having the balls and experimenting but in my opinion it doesn't work.

@nachoisone

He has it tuned as a mandola. It is in the same range as a guitar, and he has the other guy comping.

It ain't so bad. Give him credit for exploring the idiom!

[nachoisone]

It's an attempt but that's all i can truly grant you. The fact that a mandolin is an octave higher is really over the top for the blues which is a soulful style of music. I can understand using it for New Grass or even something along the lines like psychadelic Jam Bluegrass like String Cheese Incident.

Not saying what you did isn't soulful but the motions makes it like a gimmick instead of a feeling that BB King puts into it. You just make yourself wanting to be Pete Townshend on mandolin.

@mahjun

mahun, thanks for an entertaining 5:32. I enjoyed it much. It saddens me to read sour comments made by others, It never ceases to amaze me when someone devalues the creativity of another simply because it does not fit into their one-sized brain. It leads me to believe jealousy is the motive: they do not do and so they criticise those who do. They try to make others feel smaller so they can feel bigger.

@MandolinMan0001 I know this post is a year old, but I can't help but point out that you misspelled continent. Cultural diversity has done little for your spelling. I don't particularly like this vid, but anything that spreads the mando to new audiences is good news to me!

[devereux12]

This is terrible.

[spilopbob]

WOW It sounds really great. Thanks Bluesman..

[BiggieRastaman]

Total respect, se son est purement genial, apres le mec qui a mal aux dents qu'il aille se faire soigner ses caries, pauvs pigeons que vous etes, 3sixes1Ace, haunter112 what do you know about music ? respect or just about life... ? if u don't like it just close the vid and do not disturb the others users. I think haunter is a Bush's friend. as*h*le
