Receiving a mandolin shortly. Thank you and please continue with teaching to non-mandolin players 😌🎶

[@trioguitar]

Thanks for the kind words. I do have an idea lined up for the next few weeks (on mandolin). Good luck with the new mandolin! Joey

[@johnmetcalfe2482]

You did a great job with Maggie Mae, please keep it coming.

[@trioguitar]

Thanks John, I really appreciate that. I am giving a thought to going through the book I mention in the video, which contains about 20 songs for mandolin. Cheers, Joey.

Thanks Joey. Such an iconic, recognisable riff. Thanks for adding it to our guitar group.

[@trioguitar]

thanks Alan!

[@brjplummer9415]

Thanks Joey. Thanks for printing out the music. You are doing very well for a beginer, so being a guitar player must be a big help. I hope your fingers hurt !. Brian

[@trioguitar]

Ha, thanks Brian, yeh, those damn mandolin strings! Cheers, Joey

[@rloper]

thanks for posting. I'm like you - mainly a guitar player, but have a mandolin. You confirmed what I was thinking for the outro, with that little additional two note ending. Song is in the key of D so it's right to start with D on the 3rd strings and work up. I didn't know the intro, so that's nice to also have now.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Joey.

I have a mandolin in a pillow case. Time to get it out!

[@debianderegg7529]

I am new to mandolin and this song too me back to my senior year of high school. Thanks for sharing this. I will definitely be practicing this one!

[@trioguitar]

I'm glad it struck a chord! some songs can do that, cheers, Joey

[@debianderegg7529]

@@trioguitar Thanks!

[@kevinogracia1615]

You're welcome.

Hi Joey thanks for the tab sheets i am a Ukulele player( still learning) and we play Maggie occasionly and with Uke strings being G4 C3 E2 A1 i am following your outro sheet and it sounds ok, never the less its good practice with the plectrum and the very fine strokes involved , much appreciated maybe i will put my hand in my pocket and buy a Mandolin but i also like the Banjo as well, decisions decisions.

[@trioguitar]

Hi John, thanks for watching and for the comment. These are personal decisions of course, it's more a fluke that I ended up owning a mandolin, but I'm happy I have one because it's so different to a guitar. I guess longer term, the answer is that you end up owning both a mandolin and a banjo! 😀

[@robpartain6799]

Are you going to play anything?

[@trioguitar]

Geez...harsh...but fair

[@maisymorris7506]

You really don’t know why she’s upset and disheartened? Wow.

[@trioguitar]

Let's just say - I have failed all my Emotional Intelligence tests.

[@coalville1234]

Sorry, I fell asleep...

[@trioguitar]

Then my job is done. 😀
