“Folsom Prison Blues” Mandolin Lesson and Jamming Ideas with Tabs!

Put a pin on the Big Island Hawaii Kailua Kona! Stoked to find your content. Just got my second and much higher quality mandolin. I started with a Paris Swing ten years ago, and just got an 815 Eastman. Excited to learn more. 🤙 Aloha and Mahalo

Hello in Kona! I’ve been to your town - so beautiful :) So heartbreaking what happened in Maui. Man, an 815? That’s awesome! You must get the “Ukulele” thing a lot in Hawaii. Thanks so much for checking in and have a great day :)

Hello Neal! I stumbled on your channel a few hours ago and been gleefully binging since! I've subscribed, needless to say, and I'm looking forward to mining Comandolin for lots of gold nuggets. And if you haven't already, stick a pin in Northern Ireland. Cheers mate and thanks for all this superb content.

[@COMANDOLIN]

Hey there:) Awesome to hear. You’re going on the map! Tip one for me over there - Cheers :)

Where in Arkansas? I’m originally from Clarksville, went to high school in Fort Smith and did a year at the U in Fayetteville before I moved away to Dallas. My mom is still in Fort Smith and I have family all over the natural state.
