- Here are some notable classic and hard rock guitar riffs, all played on mandolin. Oh, and I don't have a drum set, so I'm playing those on my mandolin case. Mandolins are awesome...and they can rock!
Love the vocals! Its like if the Sims were singing covers lololol
Awesome man. When I was playing mandolin in an Irish punk band back in the day, my warmups were always "Sweet Child of Mine" and "Are you gonna go my way"
Rock on!
Brilliant. What more can I say? I play guitar forever and have had a mandolin for a few years but am afraid to get it going. Now I have the inspiration to pick it up seriously.
I thought smoke on the water was badass but then came black dog😳 I didn’t know I needed that
This is great on so many levels! The rhythm parts, pseudo-scat singing, costumes, and of course the killer riffs. Subscribed!
Thanks friend. Cheeers to you!
You rule! Love the dad vibe!
"Sarah, do we have any cigarettes? I'm making a new video..."
Yaaaassss! Props gotta come from somewhere. Only makes sense to hit up my chain-smoking wife (it's quite possible that she's never touched a cig in her life...I'll have to ask her.) Happy New Year, Ton!
I've been looking for exactly this! Starting on my mandolin journey because I love the instrument but rock and roll is my genre! Thank you!
Hey cool! I love bluegrass too, but rock is maybe a little bit more my thing on the mandolin. Glad you're starting. You'll have fun.
Haha I can tell you had fun with this video. I loved watching!
Totally fun. Thanks for watching.
Found your channel after searching for “Mandolin prog rock”
С удовольствием посмотрел ваш маленький концерт, отыгранный с большой душой. Спасибо.🎉❤
Thanks, friend.
That is the most entertaining video!
Hey! Thanks, friend. I appreciate it!
The khaki and flannel versions we didn’t know we needed 👍🏻
Absolutely! Rock's new dress code! I mean flannel has been done...but khakis? Could happen. Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas, Olivia. Merry New Year too!
These are great! I'm inspired!
Funny. And good.
Hey Pete! Great job. It's amazing the range of music that you get out of your mandolin.
Thanks, man. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Have a happy new year.
Fantastic. Loved the "Walk This Way" vocal! 😀👍
Haha. Thanks. Cheers.
Absolutely great, loved it. Thankyou I've often wondered about this.
Man, you’re so cool…. 😎😎😎 These are awesome. We’ll-done, sir!
Thanks, Michael. Have a Merry New Year!
I stumbled upon this and it is a very pleasant surprise. I'm always looking for a different way to play my mandolin. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, friend. I appreciate it. Cheers to you!
This is a great video!
Thanks, friend.
Why are the vocals and the slapping the case parts my favorite? Haha great video
Haha. Good call. I never thought that I'd like the dull "thud" that the mando case makes. I'll probably use that again sometime. As for the vocals...I'M SO SORRY!😁
I enjoyed the playing even though I got a strong whiff of taking the piss. 😄
why does this not have millions of views hahahaha this is wholesome.
I used to own the same model mandolin as yours- a late 70s early 80s Washburn M3WS- made in Japan. Ths is the first time I've ever seen another! Nice mandolin and pretty well made for the era. I only sold sold mine this year. Good video too! Thanks.
Hey that's cool. Yeah, its' been an awesome mando for what I paid for it. I just recently got a Northfield, which has quickly become my favorite, but I'll be hanging on to the Washburn. I still dig its tone.
Absolutly awesome! Sir I salute you!
You're fantastic. Absolute creative mandolin genius.
Haha. No. But thanks, friend.
Mate that was AWESOME!! I rarely comment on videos but I just had to say something! The amount of effort you put in is amazing! It’s funny, it sounds great and I’ll be back to watch again in the near future! Well done my friend!!
Thanks for those kind words, friend. I appreciate it. Cheers to you!
I was looking after songs like “Choveu” by Beto Guedes that incorporates Mandolin as a prominent instrument in a progressive rock/folk composition.
Awesome!!!
@@heypete1827 yeah, Beto Guedes is great. I highly recommend checking out some of his music. I love the way he uses electric mandolin in songs like “Maria Solidária” and “Tesouro da Juventude”. He also contributed to a lot of songs in Milton Nascimento’s catalogue such as “Promessas do Sol” and “Paixão e Fé”. One of my favorite artists from my beloved Brazil.
I'll have to check him out.
This video should blow up!
Haha! Thanks, Tanmay!
lots of fun
Thanks, Ferz! Thanks for watching too.
This rocks!
Thanks, Ben! Or at least it rolls. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!
Great stuff nonetheless. Gained a new subscriber.
Awesome, thank you!
My 10 year old son wants to know why you chose a headband over an afro for Jimmy's song! Thanks for facilitating the opportunity to listen to these songs with my boys, comparing your version with one by the original artists. We even touched on RunDMC.
PS The first two chords of "brown sugar" sounds like one of your songs maybe Canned Goods, same two cords?
Haha. I didn't pre-plan too much. Plus I only had access to the one wig. Glad you're having "the school of rock" at your house. Hope you had a merry Christmas, ET. Have a happy New Year.
BEST ONE YET!
Thanks, Andy-man!
Sounds great keep up the good work 👍
Brilliant 🔥
Oh my god...why haven't I seen your site before???? You seem, no you ARE having so much fun. Do you take requests as I have a song that I feel is perfect for mando but don't quite have the the skills to knock it off yet? Wild West End by Dire Straits...I only hear a mando in the main hook although I love the open G guitar tuning.
PS Can you also send me some of the 'stuff' you are on......?
Haha! Thanks, Mark. It is fun. Mando is really fun for me. I'll have to give that song a listen. Also...If I'm on something, I guess it's mostly sugar. 🤠
Oh man. ALL the Pink Floyd peripherals just kill it!
Haha. Thanks, Jed. It was hard to pass up the Money SFX. Have a happy New Year.
Earned a subscriber this is so funny and great talent keep it up!
Thanks, friend. Cheers!
This is art! I've started learning a couple months ago. Any tip on where to find chords and sheet music for rock music and these riffs?
Thanks friend. I might post some tutorials if I get time. I don't really know where to find sheet music for this stuff though.
you'd certainly make a lot of people happy :)@@heypete1827
Im new at the mandolin,,,picked it up after retirement, so old dog new tricks is a thing…THIS is incredible!!! I tried slowing it down to figure out what you are doing, especially LaGrange, but do you have it written down anywhere so i can study it? Or possibly a zoom lesson if that is a possibility…i REALLY want to learn some of these. Thanks!
Hi friend. That's awesome. I might be able to make some videos of me walking folks through these. I'll see if I can carve out some time.
Thanks for letting me know that this is helpful to you. That's helpful to me.
This was great! I’ve been playing violin for a bit but want to start learning mandolin as well. Do you learn these by ear? Or is there a good resource for sheet music?
Thanks, Ronnie. I am an ear learner, so I don't really have any sheet music resources to direct you too. Definitely give mandolin a try. It's a great little instrument. Packs small...sounds big.
this is SO awesome!! i’m currently looking to buy my first mandolin and LOVE the sound of yours. which specific mandolin is this?
Thanks, Cheyenne. It's a Washburn mandolin, and I guess I've never known much more than that. It says M-3S-SB on the label inside. I've had it since the late 80s. Obviously it has a center sound hole which lends to its mellow sound. F-hole mandolins have a little bit more of a "thacky" sound which is also really nice. Thanks for watching the video. Cheers!
i'd been on the edge for years... this has tipped me to get a mandolin
Que bien pana Mandolina en Rock tendras las partiruras
🤘Pete rock's 🤙
yes
This is really terrific but you have been banned from every guitar store known to man for playing that second riff
Haha. Yeah. I was really rolling the dice. Might be more forgivable on a mando. 🤷♀
Buenosimo
Are those the same hand shapes as if it were played on the guitar or are you just really familiar with the instrument? Some friends and I plan on going to travel Europe and asia next year and I plan on picking one up as I'm interested in getting a string instrument and it seems like it will be an easier one to travel with. Anyway, keep on rocking!!
Hi. It's different on the mandolin than it is on the guitar. The mandolin is tuned like a violin. Mandolin is fun to travel with though. Definitely packs smaller than a guitar.
@@heypete1827 Would you say it's easy to learn? I only know a few guitar chords
@@WN2W The basics are pretty easy. You can learn the open chords pretty quickly and play a lot of songs with those. After that, like any instrument, it's all dependent on how much practice you can give the instrument. It's a fun instrument though, and it sounds cool. I love it.
How long did it take to learn to play mandolin?
Well, not to long to get the basics, but I've been playing for 30 years I guess.
Play whole song man. Need some good music to learn sick of bluegrass songs. By way I love your Aerosmith impression and pinball wizard
Haha. Thanks, pablo. Pinball Wizard is one of my favs. Someday I'll try to post the whole song.
I have been considering getting a mandolin because they are awesome, but have been struggling to find tabs for them, do you have any recommendations as to where I could find tabs for the mandolin?
Hi Sofia. Sadly, I don't really. I have seen some pretty cool mandolin UA-cam channels that might be good resources though. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of Banjo Ben Clark for learning stuff on banjo and mandolin. Check him out. Great teacher. I didn't learn mandolin from him, but I did learn a lot of banjo stuff from his videos and tabs.

Hi friend. Perhaps if I can find the time. Thanks for watching.
We need tabs.
Yeah, me too.
