Thank you…I agree, it’s a lovely piece.

Kind of you to say so, Jairo…thanks for listening and commenting. I hope you are keeping well 😉

Part A, bars 1-8: 1 Am, 2 D & G, 3 Am, 4 G, 5 Am, 6 G, 7 Em & G, 8 Am. part B, bars 9-16, repeat bars 1-8. Simple 2 finger chords for each of the chords.

@@johnwilliamson6846 Thank you, love the tune and I enjoy your channel! I played this tune on my octave and it sounds very majestic and rich!

@brianpouillon1353 No problem…glad you enjoyed the tune and enjoy the channel and that you got a great sound out of your OM playing the tune 👍

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for commenting. The OM is made by Ivor Pickard (it’s what is referred to on his website as the OM C-Basic model (though the scale length is approx 1” shorter than his standard scale length) - www.pickardacoustics.com/

Thank you, Frank. My recording set up (other than when I occasionally record direct into,the iPad) is more or less always the same…but being Sat at a different angle to mic (the ideal angle of which I never remember!) can make a notable difference to the recorded sound.

Many thanks, Richard…as noted on MC, tricky but attractive 😉

Thanks. Glad you like the sound of the Vega. Pleasing to hear that you are learning some of the tunes I’ve played…let me know, please, which ones you arrange accompaniment for. Yes, the Seagull S6 has an outer body shape similar to the Vega…the key thing about the Vega mando I have is the cylindrical back (I think the S6 has a flat back…and flat top???).

Thank you. 🤝

Thank you very much, Richard.

Thanks, Jerrel, much appreciated.

Thank you, Frithjof.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.

Your high praise is much appreciated, Richard.

Thanks for listening and commenting, David…I’m based in Cheshire (near Wilmslow).

Glad you enjoyed it, David. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting. Yes, I’m familiar with that stirring version.

Glad you enjoyed it…and pleased to hear you have learnt tunes from the channel. Enjoy your playing!

Thank you for your comment 👍

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you, David… much appreciated.

Thanks, Tom…This is the first tune I’ve posted in a while, and it isn’t one that ‘shows off’ the Shippey. However, one of the benefits the Shippey is that it lends itself to a broad range of tunes form a broad range of genres…and readily does them justice.

Absolutely, it seems to have the perfect mix of warmth and strength of tone. I think that about mine too. 👍 🎶

I agree with Frank, who is the master of the slow, emotional mandolin, so praise indeed. Beautiful, John.

Thank you both, Frank and Richard, your positive comments are much appreciated.

@richardcarver6849 Much appreciated, thank you.

Many thanks, Richard, much appreciated.

Thanks. It’s always pleasing to know when someone plays along to a video…playing a different instrument. 👍

Many thanks, Frithjof.

Merci. Ce fut une soirée très agréable ce soir-là.

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Tom. Yes, the Shippey has a cedar top…still getting to know the instrument, but loving it !

Well observed…there are some identical bars in each of the tunes…as well as being able to hear this, if you look on thesession.org at the sheet music for each of the tunes (the first option in each tune) you will also be able to view this.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks very much for commenting.

Yes, a Fylde Signature Touchstone…glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for commenting.

Thank you Frithjof 👍

That’s very kind. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Jerrel. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting. I’m good, hope you are well also.

Thanks Richard, much appreciated.

Thanks very much, Frank…no need to worry, you have some beautiful mandolins!

Thanks for listening. I assume you are referring to a bowl-back guitar (Oudtar).

@@johnwilliamson6846 Yes, I am referring to both the oud and the guitar together; this instrument combines them. Additionally, your playing is wonderful; keep up the great work.

Thanks very much.
