  • FYI - I was totally going by memory on this tuning, but my mandolin shredding husband pointed out that the actual tuning order is (F# A - D D - A A - D A) - which makes way more sense!! HAHA Either way, the main point is to have fun experimenting with improvising and sounds. Hope you all enjoy! :)

    I am 76 and been playing my guitar and banjo since the 1960s. I am so happy that Sierra is reappraising the old tunes and songs, and keeping the old bluegrass so alive. I am old enough to say your playing is enhanced by your lovely smile, and beautiful face. Thanks from Australia.

    3:57 - 4:12 is an example of amazing touch. It's so freakin hard to get a mandolin to sound that clean, graceful, and dynamic. Super rad!!

    I listened to this song (or should I say “sawng”?) dozens of times trying to figure it out on my violin and I never realized there was such a thing as split tuning for mandolin until now. So cool!!!!!🤩🤠

    What I really love about this kid is that there isn't a single fret on that instrument that's safe! If I were that old Gibson, I'd take a good deep breath when I saw her coming.

      Bluegrass is actually highly influenced by "Ulster Scotch" Presbyterians that migrated in droves to the USA in the 1700s mainly from North East Ireland..The.Monroe's were "Ulster Scotch"...but if you go back far enough the Monroe name came from Gaelic Irish...just like other "Ulster Scots" names like Knox, Niel, Lennox, McCrea amongst many others

    The point you made about the access ability on you tube is spot on. Being able to get the voicings right, priceless. This is the age of stringed enlightenment. I remember having to learn songs by picking up that needle above the turntable and painstakingly figure out the chords etc.
