This Is The Best Mandalin Playing I've Seen Live on the Tube So Far

oops, you make me blush; but big thanks of course; it's always great to get big compliments!

I use GDAD as in Irish music. [regular tuning is GDAE]

For many years I used ADAD, which is easier for a lot of tunes, but GDAD gives you the possibility to play more interesting chords.

Sorry I forgot to ask....What are you using for the open tuning (before capo is added).

What a brilliant composition! Your a wonderful composer! If you have anymore Please post them. Also that Mandola has a wonderful tone to it, who made it?

[BenDirks]

I will post some more for you. But don't know when. The mandola is an octave mandolin made by Moon Guitars Scotland

[lemonostiftis]

sounded so familiar, really nice eastern influenced tune

[Fabyr]

Great work, I like your style!

Thanks....I tune my Cittern GDAEA which works very well for playing melody, but not as friendly when chording
