Great lesson. This is one of "my" songs and I've always played it "my way" but now I'm challenged to get off the Sinatra kick and play it right! Thank you.
After playing guitar for many years I have just bought my first Mandolin. I love this song and your video has helped me so much in learning to play it, thank you 😁
FYI - there’s a video of Ray Jackson actually playing the ending solo on the song. From I can tell he only played on the ending. He’s playing it solo in his living room during an interview about his contribution. It also sounds like he’s playing more than single notes. Like he’s playing an open string for a drone effect
Awesome lesson. I just picked up the mandolin a couple weeks ago, and your lessons already have me playing with confidence. Have you considered doing a lesson on Sylvan Song/Dream of the Archer by Heart?
Thanks. I'm picking it up after several years of guitar, but it's thanks to your videos. I've watched a few other channels, but I think yours is the best.
I've been performing this on guitar in the key of C instead of D. I'm thinking about trying mandolin on it now but on C it may be not suited for mando. I'm thinking it would be nicer sounding to detune the mando a whole step instead because there seems to be open strings sounding out. What do you think?
Awesome thanks for sharing
You’re welcome.
Thanks again Rock & Pop .😄😁😄
No problem!
I think your right, one of the most iconic 70s songs with mandolin sound, Mandolin Wind another Uncle Rod hit is on my to learn list
Thanks. Yes, I love that song, too.

Cool! Have fun with it.

That’s great, mate! Glad I could help.
Really enjoying the lessons and the channel thanks!
Most welcome! Thanks!
Jacka has always said it's a couple of multi-tracked takes and edits (including the lead and melody riffs and the secret is in the strumming.
Excellent, thanks.
No worries!

Cool. Do you have a link to that?
Just search “Mandolin solo on Maggie May - BBC interview”
Really helpful, thank you !
Great! Awesome that I could help out.
Ok I’m in. Subbed. 👍.
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Thank you so much - very nice und good explanation :)
Thank you!!
Rod Stewart also did another cool mando song called Mandolin Wind...I'd like to learn that one...
Well, funny you mention that one. I’ve just recorded the video and will have it up here in a couple of weeks! The mandolin solo is really fun.
Awesome! Most people forget about that one, but it's been one of my favorites for years...
Great can not wait to try this one!
Hey been enjoying your lessons. I have a song request, "That's what I like about you" by the Romantics... seems like a mandolin friendly song.
Yes, I like that song. But it’s a tough one for mando. I could give it another look. I also like Talking in Your Sleep by the Romantics.
Awesome lesson. I just picked up the mandolin a couple weeks ago, and your lessons already have me playing with confidence. Have you considered doing a lesson on Sylvan Song/Dream of the Archer by Heart?
That’s great about your playing. But don’t know that song. I’ll check it out!

That could work. But it’s quite a simple song in D. Why not play it in its original key?
how about another Ray Jackson Mando part. the haunting Lady Eleanor by Lindisfarne
Cool! I'll check it out!
