  • is someone else playing another mandolin to do the second????

  • No, it's all done "real time" on one mandolin. The technique is called "Solo Mandolin in Duo-Style," employing a tremolo melody and harp-style accompaniment at the same time. The secret, so to speak, is using one out of every four (or one out of every six) pick-strokes to play an accompaniment note instead of the tremolo note. The greatest phrasing difficulty in this technique is to make the tremolo sound smooth and uninterrupted despite the omitted pick strokes.

  • Hallo

    Michele La Marca.

  • Thank you for uploading this :) I love singing this piece.

  • Hello, My Dad saw you play at Disneyland in 2001 and taped you playing the 'William tell overture' and ever since my father has always wanted me to learn to play it, but ive never attempted it. But now that ive being playing for a few years I want to learn to play it for his birthday (not this years, and only when im good enough) and was wondering if you would ever do a tutorial or a slow up close taping of it, I would appreciate it very much, thanks.

  • When I heard this, I was inspired to go learn more songs on my mando. I'm just startin' out haha. Excellent video!
