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).
Given the roots of the mandolin I would imagine there are way more mandolin tunes that aren't bluegrass than are! Great job. I would add Heart's Silvan Song/Dream of the Archer as a favourite.
You can play almost anything on almost any instrument. I play a flute, which is an instrument that can't play multiple notes at the same time, but I play Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Night on Bald Mountain on it like every day. You can figure it out if you try.
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. Thanks for posting this!
One of the songs I used to teach myself mandolin, transferring my knowledge over from guitar: “Here Comes The Sun.” George Harrison actually used a capo way up on a guitar, to get it into a mandolin register. I thought, hey, skip the middle man and figure it out on a mandolin. It sounds great, too!
Not only sound great but look great too ! My Grandfather used to play a Bangor ukulele, self taught and he used to sing and play the old war time songs and he used to get invited to a lot of parties ,he also used to play the piano ,not very well as I can remember but after a few sherbert, he sounded great ! My Grandmother was not best pleased when he was rolling in at all hours @ But he
I wish you had on your web site available a pdf with sheet music of all these tunes (not tab). Even better a collection with all these and a few more of your favorite tunes you play and teach.
@@theredcomet844 I used to really dislike the mandolin when I started listening to bluegrass. Became a running joke with a friend. These days I'm used to it and that was the start of learning to love it.
Great video! "Love Is Blue" also sounds wonderful on the mandolin. I stupidly sold my little Epiphone mandolin 5 years ago. This video inspires me to get another one asap.
There's a book by Jonathan and Faye Kellerman that features a mandolin, "Capitol Crimes". It made me curious about this instrument. Thanks for giving me some excellent examples of what this instrument is capable of producing. Well done.
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.
Tried to find these on your website and would love to get the TAB for your version of the REM song - which also isn't listed in "Get Started on the Mandolin!". I was ready to pull out the plastic!
Love Wayfaring stranger !!! ...but the Linus and Lucy song is pretty cool too.....and of course EVERONE loves Maggie May !!! ...Great choices ! ...Oh by the way I went and checked out the Thomastik strings because I had never heard of them....when I saw the price I understood why I wasn't familiar with them....You don't put a set of $50.00 strings on a $45.00 mandolin....well I guess you could but it probably wouldn't make a lot of sense ...lol....I want an Eastman mandolin...still saving for that ....
Gibson is the standard. Most modern mandolins are based on the 1920's Gibson's designed by Lloyd Loar. He is the stradivarius of the mandolin. His original mandolins are $100,000+, but many modern makers build in his style. Look at Carter Guitars in Nashville for a broad range of top instruments.
Buying an expensive mandolin right away is a sure way to get an overpriced wall hanger...you need to see if you're gonna stick with it before investing thousands of dollars into an instrument you can't play...and asking 'who's the best mandolin maker' is like asking, 'who's the best cook'...ask 10 different players & you'll get 10 different answers...my advice would be to buy a cheap mandolin to start with & have a professional set it up for you so it'll sound as good as it can & be easy to play...learn on that one for a few months & if you can see that you're making progress & are truly going to stick with it, then buy a better one...I've been playing 9 years & still can't afford the one I want...if I could buy any mandolin I wanted, I'd buy a Rosa, but it costs a minimum of $6000 US dollars...I've never had a car that cost that much, so it won't be happening any time soon...you can get a Rogue or something like that on Amazon pretty cheap & have a good setup do done on it & it'll sound just fine...worry about pro grade when you learn how to play...
Never would’ve thought of Linus and Lucy. Maybe a loop pedal to lay down the ostinato to keep it going, and then layer in the melody. Also enjoyed your rendition of “This Is My Father’s World,” one of my favorite overlooked hymns. Would love to hear a full rendition. Keep it up!
In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history Lived a strange race of people, the Druids No one knows who they were or what they were doing But their legacy remains hewn into the living rock... of Stonehenge
But he enjoyed playing and entertaining people ! He is upstairs now and they ,my Grandparents never talked about the war years ,what stories they could tell Burtonwood we didn't think to ask ,I suppose they were too proud but without people like them and our armed forces putting their lives on the line ,we would not be here today "So Much Given By So Few " REMEMBER THEM .XX
no tab here, but you could find the sheet music pretty easily online. it's not too hard of a song to read, actually, because it's in the key of C. good luck! A
+mandohat oh right, awesome--so you play it pretty much straight as the original? thank you for putting this idea in my head!! I look forward to the challenge :)

Where are Thomastik mandolin strings found ?... I've never heard of them ...Are they made in another country ?...Out of the USA ?...LOL.....I guess that was a stupid question....EVERYTHING is made out of the USA anymore..... I've been using D'addario ....All the locals tell me they are best...but I've never tried anything else.. Your mandolin does really sound great ! ..Is that a Gibson mandolin ?
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.
Hello, I have a mandolin specifically the new Washburn latest model from 1894, the truth is I have almost no knowledge on this subject but could someone tell me if it has any value or is good
This might be a bit of a silly question, but why is the end of the fingerboard uneven like that? I've got my father's old mandolin from the 40's and it has an even fingerboard. Does it make any difference?
it's just how Gibson designed their fingerboards in the 20's, and they kept it the same ever since. I'd rather have a flat one, because I don't play notes that high on the mandolin. the mandolinists of that era may have needed those high notes, but nobody really uses them now, and it just gets in the way of the pick.

Nice, thanks. In addition all the Irish Traditional jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc. are very well suited to mandolin.
Also any classical pieces written for violin
That's for sure. Nothing nicer than Irish- style on the mandolin.
Need more Zeppelin on this list! "The Battle Of Evermore" and "Going To California" are both spectacular mandolin tunes.
Led Zeppelin has some great ones as well.
Battle of Evermore, Tangerine, That's the Way, and Gallows Pole are great examples.
Thank you! That's what I said too. Zepp is actually what got me interested in mandolin.
No , Tangerine was 12 string
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.
Williamjames huff name a tune that a mandolin can't slide into and add a pleasant texture? By the way... what do you play?
I've been playing mandolin for about 10 years, never played bluegrass on it yet. 👍
Mandolin has been around a lot longer than bluegrass, also goes for banjo, guitar, bass and fiddle.
You my good sir, are a True Bard :V

please make a video on how to learn number 2. losing my religion
Mona Maria looks easy to figure out
Or corning my religion
Given the roots of the mandolin I would imagine there are way more mandolin tunes that aren't bluegrass than are! Great job. I would add Heart's Silvan Song/Dream of the Archer as a favourite.
@cat with a camera it's italian as far as i know
@cat and biscuit Mandolin is Italian!
It's the staple instrument of Southern Italian traditional music
Technically most of the mandolin canon in bluegrass was written for fiddle anyway
Pretty good.
I've been playing with Japanese folk music. Plenty of music out there to play with.
You can play almost anything on almost any instrument. I play a flute, which is an instrument that can't play multiple notes at the same time, but I play Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Night on Bald Mountain on it like every day. You can figure it out if you try.
my dad just bought me a mandolin out of nowhere and i’m so excited OMG HAHAHAH
This is the cutest thing i've seen today
How's that going for you?
Same!! My Nanan just gave me one and I was so surprised!!
Mine also
Same omg
Kinda sad Battle of Evermore was left out but nice list,
OMG it's great on that song
Not to mention Going to California
But spinal tap was on the list lol.
He left out the hard ones
ME TOO

Hey not a well known mandolin song, but Sylvan song by Heart is stunning. Nancy Wilson is a master guitarist & mandolin player. ❤️
I would love to have your tab for your version of poor wayfairing stranger that was beautiful
I just got a new mandolin! This is so encouraging and motivating! I wanna be this good 💙
The fact that you played the Stonehenge reel... Appreciate you, sir.
One of the songs I used to teach myself mandolin, transferring my knowledge over from guitar: “Here Comes The Sun.” George Harrison actually used a capo way up on a guitar, to get it into a mandolin register. I thought, hey, skip the middle man and figure it out on a mandolin. It sounds great, too!
Would have never thought to do Dave Brubeck on mandolin..Nice!
Bach sounds great on Mandolin.
I also like the piece "naquele tempo", composed for flute.
Absolutely beautiful playing! What a gorgeous instrument. This video really lifted my spirits today. Thanks for sharing!
thank you for this!! I am interested in learning mandolin to maybe play Irish music. But I like all these songs too.
mandolin sounds wonderful , especially when it plays jigs and reels , what a lovely sound
Linus and Lucy! I want to learn that one, #10 was just awesome.
Not only sound great but look great too !

Beautiful! So many songs that I love.
Great choices. Superbly done
You forgot Rise by Eddie Vedder and Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin.
All of the Into The Wild soundtrack is fucking amazing
He didn't forget anything. Record your own list.
Battle of Evermore is what got me into mandolin in the first place
how could someone not love this instrument
Mandolin is cool, but I personally prefer guitars and lutes.
It's an interesting instrument but its fifths tuning is turning me off.
The Jake Gittes of Etruscology it makes harmony and chord shapes in general a bit more challenging for sure, but worth the effort
You can’t love something you don’t quite know.

This sounds like what they use to make all the ring tones on phones...
Roam no one like this comment it is currently at 69
Also some of the creepy suspense building noises in horror movies
Love the variety of genres here *.*
Now that is a sweet sound. I love it. I am picking up my mandolin now.
+Ken McKinney That's all we're trying to do here.
Seeing Stonehenge on here killed me. That was one of the first songs I learned when I got my mandolin too 😂
How do you play the highest fret? It's tiny!
You don't, there just there for show.
@@freddykabulaschnitza2475 is that fuking serious mate
You suffer.
use your nails
It takes all your strength and willpower to play the forbidden final fret. (Seriously though it's annoying to play that high but possible)
Mandolins, Flutes, and Harps. So pretty.
One thing that will always amaze: the marriage of hand, ear, and brain as a musician plays....
I wouldn't get one but mandolins sound way better than ukuleles
of course they do, and you should get one, at least.
+SergRush I was only saying cuz it's a small string instrument, with about the same size as a ukulele
Mandolin:
steel strings
F-holes
4 courses of 2 strings
Ukulele:
nylon strings
4 individual strings
Having played both, they're really nothing alike
I have one of these birds at home I found it by some shops near to where I live ,it's a long way from home.
Copperhead Road by Steve Earle. Hasn't Hit Me Yet by Blue Rodeo. Good video, fella, thanks for sharing.
Another great song and fairly easy to play is. Copper Head Road
Thanks Andy. Glad to hear you're taking care of your ears......
Blue Rondo a la Turk is a fun song to play on mandolin... and so is Take Five.
That was great! Was amazed with the Charlie Brown song at the end! Keep it up!
From Chile you'r my favorite! Holy mandoline!

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

I can't quite make out the headstock. Washburn?
I think it's Gibson.
