Converting 6-string guitar to 3 strings for beginners
Переглядів 1127 місяців тому
This shows a little conversion job done on a children's quarter-size guitar, to produce a very nice and frankly much more enjoyable instrument, with just 3 strings and lots more room between them. If you are a guitarist or guitar teacher, and happen to see this, do let me know what you think of the idea.

Lovely mandolin and playing. What mandolin is it? Great sound.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. The mandolin was made by a friend of mine, Richard Bartram. www.richardbartram.com
Where can I obtain the music score for Misty?
Hi Pauline you should find a link to my version of the piece in the Description field under the video. Alternatively you can find a "lead sheet" in many jazz realbooks and fake books.
Really well arranged and played!
Many thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Very nice! Which is this mandolin?
Glad you enjoyed. The mandolin was made by a good friend of mine, Richard Bartram www.richardbartram.com
Very nice. Is that a Fylde mandolin?
Glad you enjoyed the piece! The mandolin was made by Richard Bartram, www.richardbartram.com
Well done
Damn. That was nice.
Glad you liked it!
Ein sehr schönes Lied. Und ein reizvolles Instrument. Leider finde ich hier in Berlin keinen Laden, der solche Bauform anbietet.
I'm glad you like it! The instrument was made by Richard Bartram www.richardbartram.com. It's so hard to find a good selection in a music shop these days, but there are plenty of instruments available online. Good luck!
Hi Hugh, this is great! I'd love to know more about your pickguard and how you mounted it. I have a Loar as well and I'd like to add a pickguard too. best, E
Thanks Ethan. The pickguard came with the guitar. I think it is standard on this model?
@@hughboyde it isn't standard unfortunately, but it should be! Thanks for replying :)
Bravissimo! Beautiful arrangement!!! Thank you very much for the free sheet music! Greetings from Italy!👏👏👏👍👏👏
Glad you like it!
Lovely!
thank you!
Which mandolin you play in this video, it's amazing sound
Beautyfull
thankyou!
A great arrangement, played nicely with bluesy slides and vibrato! Did you write the sheet music/tab yourself? There are some parts, that you play differently to what's notated. For example, in measure 4 of the minor part(0:38, 0:56), you repeat the open a-string instead of f# and e flat on the d-string as it is notated. Jazz and blues have been passed by ear, but for players coming from a classical backgrounnd, it would be nice, if they could study your beautiful arrangements without watching the video at half speed, trying to figure out, how you really do it. 🙂🙃😊
I'm glad you liked the arrangement! and apologies for any discrepancies with the written part. I do tend to play quite freely, and lots of things can happen (or not happen) in the heat of the moment. My main reason for writing down the arrangements is so that I can remember them when I come back to them later, so please regard them as a road map rather than an exact score.
Great work! Thank you so much, sir ❤
What should a beginner work on first to play this piece?? I play it on the piano but now I’m learning the mandolin & want to play it on that!
Love this O’Carolan piece! Beautifully played & arranged!
Glad you like it!
is there a second mandolim partiture?
You mean so you could play it as a duet? It would certainly be possible to arrange the piece in this way (let me know if you would like me to do this) but I have nothing ready-made to offer I'm afraid. The pieces in First Images were all designed as unaccompanied solos, so that is how they appear in the book.
@@hughboydeokok thanks for the info i really apreciate it💪
Lovely arrangement and well played...😊
Thank you!
Wat. U playin
It's a Loar LH-700. If you like the sound you can find more in this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLLBhcMKpJn7HMadnZUhj2ZooYnBWnx5k_.html
What a beautiful arrangement! Thinking of a BR40T to get my feet wet in the world of Tenor guitar. Played an old Martin tenor years ago, and would love to have one. Seems that this model is the way to go. Wonder what your thoughts are, as a player who seems to own many high quality instruments?
Very well played and arranged? I can see you are generous with notation for other pieces. Would the dots be available? Anyway we’ll done
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a very rough arrangement though - I just got a piano score and scribbled a few chord ideas on it. Sorry not to be more help!
Beautiful playing. The guitar sounds rich
Many thanks.That recording was from the first week that I had the guitar - it's sounding better and better with age!
Can't hear the guitar enough Try again please...
A very nice two-part arrangement, you make the mandolin sound like a litte guitar!
Sounds amazing! Im starting to get back into learning the mandolin along with branching my guitar playing into using a slide and this video really helped inspire me!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed!
Similar to a baglamas. D-A-D though.
Good video. Thank you for putting it up. Where do you buy the music for these MTB Mandolin grades? I've been going round in circles getting nowhere! x
Thanks for your interest and please don't hesitate to get in touch if have any other queries
@@hughboyde Thanks so much for all of the above; it's really helpful and much appreciated. I hadn't realised you are the composer of some of the MTB pieces. Nice. My thanks again and best wishes.
very nice
thank you!
Lovely
thank you!
It's awesome. Could you please mention the chords played? It's so soothing and emotional
Glad you enjoyed it! There's a link in the Description field to the music and TAB, which includes chord symbols. For some reason the link is not clickable, but you can copy and paste it.
Would LOVE to hear your take on Stardust!
Love it from 🇱🇰
Sir, what is the brand name of the above beautiful Mandolin and what would be its cost, and where can i purchase the same. Kindly let me know the details.
Super awesome ❤
Wonderful! Great tone and phrasing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
Thanks so much!
Attaboy Hugh. I loved that so much. Thank you guys, that was the best thing I've seen in a while. Phil Harris' best tune maybe!
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it!
Proud to be the 69th like!
there should be some kind of badge for that :) many thanks
Very nicely done and I thank you for sharing the TAB. I'm going to give it a go on my Octave Mandolin. Thanks again, Hugh
How did it go? Hope you enjoyed playing it :)
I'm really liking your arrangement. It sounds awesome on Octave Mandolin. I'm finding OM to be so cool for so many tunes. You should give it a try if you have access to a good OM. Blessings to you.
OM certainly gives you a bit more room on the fingerboard! The closest thing I have is a tenor guitar@@magnusmacsween5322
I'm actually shopping for one now! Love to have a vintage Gibson but that's not likely unless I hit the lottery@@hughboyde
Sweet! Thanks for posting. Gotta get my uke out now, for sure!😂
Glad you like it! Do let me know how you get on with the TAB
Nossa que lindo esse arranjo, voçê fez um trabalho incrivel, parabens. Adoraria poder ler ele no meu instrumento, para melhorar minha técnica.
I'm glad you liked it! You should find a link to the sheet music and TAB in the Description field.
Brilliant showing simple tunes played well. ❤
thanks and do check out the brand new channel www.youtube.com/@mtb-mando which features lots of performances of pieces from the MTB mandolin syllabus
Thanks Hugh - such a wonderful piece of music and you play it beautifully. 👏👏👏👏👏
Where did you get the sheet music for this? It's beautiful
So glad you liked it! I found the music in an old edition of the BMG magazine. It had some mistakes in it as I realised when I heard Carlo Aonzo play it ua-cam.com/video/zBYDAu6RW5I/v-deo.html - so I pencilled in the correct notes. I'm sure if you contacted him via his website www.carloaonzo.com/ he could help.
Hi. How can I find this tab
Nice, I am going to learn it on banjo!
The original banjo dots are somewhere on this page if you want them classic-banjo.ning.com/page/works-of-joe-morley
@@hughboyde yes, that's where I found the score - it's a great resource.
