Mr Richter my favorite mandolin player good too see you play the jimmy Hendrix song watchtower

[@JimRichter]

I’ll see if i can make that happen! Thanks!

Got shuffled over onto this from the Over the Waterfall you did, left a note for you there, and still have my zouk in my lap. This is terrific to play along with -- you've covered rhythm and melody at once, so I can play either one and it sounds cool! Thanks for posting! -- Scott

[@mandobaron]

[@mrspacecase]

That is beautiful and wonderful interpretation of a classic song! Thanks!

[@mandoswinger]

Outstanding as usual!

[@ronniewall1481]

Great sound

[@tconk40554]

Like the composition. Totally unique.

[@BMcCue7]

Sounds great! You've got a really solid sense of rhythm.

[@billton12]

Sounds great! Good job!

[@SW94929]

Very unique and interesting version!

[@arcticflying]

Thanks for your input Sir. I am well into the process of building my double-neck called Mandoguita and the scale lenght is 14". I cheated a tad by adding 1/16 to the neck width and a 12" radius. Lots of work to do before I string her but I consider it is about 70% complete so far. I will eventually publish something about its making and playing. Cheers and please keep them coming.

[@mobiljoe]

awesome job! way to show that mando who the boss is!

[@hoosierhiver]

That's great Jim, kind of a gypsy feel to it.

[@scody311]

What a great grove man.. the octave sounds great, but your pickin is very nice!

[@lbracale]

WOW. Jim this is a awesome version of the song. I would love to learn to play this version. do you hvae TAB's for it?

[@ShayanGivehchian]

amazing

[@arcticflying]

Very nice Jim! I have just disovered the beauty of the mandolin and wants to build a double-neck guitar with a mando neck. The mando that was lended to me is so small, and cheap, and, hard to play, but I love that little thing. What is the scale lenght on that one you are using? I would love to build something a tad wider and longer than standard, that would still remain a mandoline. Have you got a suggestion for me? Cheers. Gilles

[@jaymebaer]

Sounds great. Few string, old time or Bluegrass are plowing entirely new ground. This has a great sound as is another interpretation eh ?
Sounds great.

[@manoffunk]

Awesome

[@kikomiko1]

That was beautiful!!!! I love it!
if you don't mind me asking, what is the availability of octave mandolins? and the price point?

[@Niloiv13]

Hi Jim- Do you have a pick up for this instrument? If so, what kind, and do you like it?

[@JimRichter]

Appreciate it. Why cover old ground that someone has done better? To me, the final word on Whiskey Before Breakfast is Norman Blake. Why not try to find a treatment that reflects me and pays homage to the original fiddle tune?

[@crawfordviolin]

love the over-alls! LOL

[@dennisbeatty4216]

its like a Led Zepplen version its cool keep posting please

[@FallThyShadow]

I want overalls.

[@Elias666fff]

Algorithm's doing well these days

[@GABagpiper]

Like the tone of the mando, the setting however I do not. Norman Blake does a great version. IMHO good playing just not my taste.
