DMB songs on Mandolin

[MattJ]

In attempting a practice method for my mandolin, I started playing DMB and Pearl Jam songs on it. Seems to be helping.

On the off chance anyone has a mando too:

Bring it on...

[goirishnd23@aol]

banjo would be awesome

[MattJ]

Heres Satellite worked out for Banjo. As for the chords I had to fudge a little bit and I haven't been able to work out a good picking pattern for them (I may just do the clawhammer thing). But anyway, here's the notes:

Damn and you had my hopes up for a second there. Its too bad. I'm really a hot girl.

Now i'm just kidding.

But more tabs coming....

[road_designer]

These are great. I just got a mandolin this weekend and was hoping for EWU tabs if anyone has them.

Thanks.

[JoelB2222]

Awesome, I've been looking for an excuse to get a mandolin for myself for Christmas. Guess I have one now. Matt do you play any violin? Or is it all mando for you.

Joel

[MattJ]

Played violin for some years a long time ago. Still have it, break it out occasionally. My bowing is what's regressed the most. Pretty sad state of affairs so I don't play it if there is any living creature within squealing distance.

I play my old violin etudes and solos on the mandolin now. Have a mandola (tuned like a viola CGDA, a fifth lower than mandolin) too, which is very cool. Play some Nickel Creek on it because Thile's voice is too high for me to sing with.

[JoelB2222]

Very, very nice indeed. Huge fan of Nickel Creek here. First fan I've met on this forum actually.

Im assuming a mandola is sort of like the viola of violins, or baritone guitars of guitars? Sounds pretty cool. If you have any of the tabs for Nickel Creek, that'd be amazing.

Joelactually, a violin is tuned the same as a mandolin

[twk13]

this is really great cus ive been workin on both

[twk13]

btw, do u have a mandolin version of blood?

[MattJ]

btw, do u have a mandolin version of blood?

No, but good frikkin idea. I'll have to do that

[twk13]

No, but good frikkin idea. I'll have to do thatwell i was partially jokin about that but cool if you can, also if you like led zep, achilleslaststand.org has a lot of good tabs, the mandolin solo for boogie with stu is real groovy

Bingo on the Mandola = to Viola. There's also a mandocello which is the cello equivalent (1 octave below viola). Apparently mandobasses too. Turn of the century there were all these mandolin orchestras with all the string equivalents.

I saw Nickel Creek two weeks ago. Awesome show. They did some some great covers. Nice Dream by Radiohead and a Toxic (Britney) which was hilarious.

Check out Mike Marshall and David Grisman too if you like the mandolin. Jethro Burns has a jazz standards album that's pretty cool as well.

Show 287, you can watch a great vid of Marshall and Thile.

[MattJ]

well i was partially jokin about that but cool if you can, also if you like led zep, achilleslaststand.org has a lot of good tabs, the mandolin solo for boogie with stu is real groovy

Going to California too. There's a little mandolin riff in the middle that I always thought sounded like the harmonics intro to the Lighthouse Tale (Nickel Creek) and would make an interesting segueway point

[PilotC150]

Wanna hear some good mandolin stuff, check out Carbon Leaf. there are some shows on the archive (www.archive.org/audio). I suggest 7-10-04 for starters.

[seekup755]

Check out some bluegrass/jamgrass for some sick mandolin stuff

shanti groove
hot buttered rum string band
yonder mountain string band
railroad earth

[JoelB2222]

No no, I was aware of that. I was asking if a mandola was like a viola. I can see the confusion though, I really didnt word that question too well.

Joel

[JoelB2222]

Just to revive an old dead thread, do you have any Nickel Creek mandolin or guitar or violin tabs by any chance Matt?

Joel

[jdkolles2]

Does anyone know of any good mandolin tab sites? I just cant seem to find any

[DavMattBandrums]

BRING THIS THREAD BACK TO LIFE!!!

I just scored a Fender F-Style Mandolin with case and stand for 100 bucks last night so im dieing to talk mando!

[AshkaanF]

Check out some bluegrass/jamgrass for some sick mandolin stuff

shanti groove
hot buttered rum string band
yonder mountain string band

Hot Buttered Rum is so sick. I love those guys. Their mandolin/violin work trumps almost all of the newgrass bands out there today, well except the King of Newgrass, ole Sammy.

Also, there are a million accurate Nickel Creek Mandolin tabs on Countrytabs.com

you have to register but its worth it

[VanHorneDog]

i love playing the American Baby thingy on the mandolin i have. but, it sounds so much cooler on the violin my buddy has. :D

[DavMattBandrums]

there have been alot of request for mando tabs so i thought id post this chart. it is an easy way to convert guitar tabs to mando.. there is also an attachment to it if youd like

String Name (guitar)
-----------
Fret(guitar)- String.Fret(mando)

4.0=open e string
3.0=open a string
2.0=open d string
1.0=open g string

Lets suppose you trying to transpose Proudest Monkey:
e---------------
B---------------
G---------------
D---------------
A----------6--4-
E--4--4---------

Just look up the notes on this system

E
--
4-1.1 Being the G string (i know people say its the 4 string but i call it one) first fret

A
--
4-1.6 again 1.6=frist G string aka lowest string sixth fret
6-2.1 = 2 string D second lowest 1 fret.

thus making proudest monkey on mando

E-------------
A-------------
D-------1-----
G-1--1-----6--

anyways hope it helps someone, it just a fun little way to quickly transpose things..

enjoy!

wow the spacing on the chart sucks... view the attachment

[JoelB2222]

Haven't been on this board in a long time, hows everyone's Mandolin-ing agoing?

Mines going great, just played a bluegrass/folk gig with some buddies of mine, got to perform with the mandolin for the first time ever, lots of fun but killer on the fingers (as opposed to the violin).

If anyone is interested in some great mandolin playing you can't go any better than David Grisman, I STRONGLY suggest checking out Shady Grove and Grateful Dawg, two albums where Grisman plays with Jerry Garcia (they were long time friends).

On an interesting sidenote I'm having a violin of mine restored by the man who makes Grisman's mandolins and I can honestly admit this guy is a genius. Knows EVERYTHING there is to know about string instruments and music in general.

Anyways, hope to get more interest in this thread going :D
