    The mandolin is a great instrument. Whenever I tell folks I play the mando they assume it's bluegrass. Fact is I play very little bluegrass music. I can play along with just about anything that's going.

      Indeed. Mandolin is one of the instrument the stereotypical Italian play, at least in the eyes of the foreigners.
      Germans usually say "Italians, pizza, spaghetti, mandolino" (the more sophisticated throw a guitar in it) and indeed the mandolin was invented in Italy, almost at the same time both in Naples and in Lombardy (the region where Milan is, home for example to the Stradivari violin makers - sorry if I sound nerdish and know-it-all).

    Cool! You have good technique! Thee are also thousands of pieces of classical music. None are bluegrass. Lol! I love Bach, Vivaldi, Händel, etc. Baroque dounds great on mandolin. Beethoven wrote 4 or 6 pieces for mandolin for some gal he was in love with. Mozart also wrote some music for mandolin. There are a lot of superb turn of the 20th century Italian virtuoso mandolin pieces such as Munier's Capriccio Spagnuolo. And the list goes on. Anything written for violin is good for mandolin since mando is a plucked version of the violin
    I need to taste something besides classic as I've had a hankering for something more modern for just the last month so I really like your offering here. Very nice! Hahaha! Perfect coincidental timing for me. I have two mandos. One flatback and my favorite, my bowlback.

I thought, hey, skip the middle man and figure it out on a mandolin. It sounds great, too!

    Nice. Great stuff. Not eveything is about bluegrass! Seems to be so here in the US. OOOOOOOO!! Maggie Mae! I forgot that one and is a long time favorite! I love that piece. Uhm, I can suggest a whole bunch of non-bluegrass tunes. Get the Bach Cello Suites transposed for violin. Also, as Chris Thile has demonstrated so adeptly, the Bach Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin are intermediate pieces. As well, of course, there are all the hundreds of Irish tunes which are easy to play. Thank you for sharing! Well played, too, I must add.

      mandohat There is a website, can't remember the name, that when it lists most Bach, it says it's "intermediate." The cello suites are a lot of fun. Pretty easy actually. Well, some are ..... Oooo. Bach's music tends to be right under your fingers. No jumping around - not much. I like to sit and play through a stack of music. Keeps the reading skills up and I tend to learn new fingering (what I call climbing the ladder - moving up the strings from G through E rather than jump from position to position) almost every time I play stuff in volumes..I love TRYING to play his music. Vivaldi is pretty easy. I find Mozart hard to play. All of it is so beautiful though. It's worth trying. Every time you try you get better! Practice, practice, practice.

    Hi my name is Austin and I was just wondering what kind of Mandolin I should buy. I have never played before but seeing videos like this one are the reason why I am giving it a shot. What do you think a good price range is for an entry level mandolin and if you have any specific suggestions that would be cool

      Austin Lieto Hi, Austin. Glad to hear you're looking into playing mandolin. I love it! I always recommend the Kentucky KM-150 as a place to start, and if you don't have a local Kentucky dealer, I recommend the bluegrass shack in Illinois. There are other good choices, too--good luck, and happy picking.

    Love your vid! Thank you for posting! :) Dunno if you take requests, and I'm not a musician, but I'm looking for a mandolin cover of Sia's "Chandelier", which doesn't seem to exist! If you or someone you know tries it out, link me please! :)

    The song came and went
    Like the times that we spent
    Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
    I laughed and she'd smile
    It would last for awhile
    You don't know what you got till you lose it all again
    Listen to the mandolin rain
    Listen to the music on the lake
    Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
    Listen to the banjo wind
    A sad song drifting low
    Listen to the tears roll
    Down my face as she turns to go
    A cool evening dance
    Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
    From the air 'til they play the last song
    I'll do my time
    Keeping you off my mind but there's moments
    That I find, I'm not feeling so strong
    Listen to the mandolin rain
    Listen to the music on the lake
    Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
    Listen to the banjo wind
    A sad song drifting low
    Listen to the tears roll
    Down my face as she turns to go
    Running down by the lake shore
    She did love the sound of a summer storm
    It played on the lake like a mandolin
    Now it's washing her away again
    Listen to the mandolin rain
    Listen to the music on the lake
    Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
    Listen to the banjo wind
    A sad song drifting low
    Listen to the tears roll
    Down my face as she turns to go
    The boat's steaming in
    I watch the side wheel spin and I
    Think about her when I hear that whistle blow
    I can't change my mind
    I knew all the time that she'd go
    But that's a choice I made long ago
    Listen to the mandolin rain
    Listen to the music on the lake
    Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
    Listen to the banjo wind
    A sad song drifting low
    Listen to the tears roll
    Down my face as she turns to go

    Wow. That sounds amazing. I just got a mandolin yesterday, and I have an acoustic guitar that I have had for years and never got around to learning how to play it. Do you have any recommended tutorials for a complete beginner I could check out? I really want to start getting into acoustic instruments and my dad has given me a month to learn a song to play. So I really need to learn quickly. Any advice would be very appreciated from a professional such as yourself.

      Tman54011 The first song I ever learned was called "Old Joe Clark." There's a very simple version of it on this website:
