Incredible, I was thinking to buy a mandolin for the first time, I play guitar almost 40 years. When I came to TH-cam to find something about this song, I found you. I'm living in Nagoya.
Borrowed a mate's mandolin an hour ago. I play in an 80s/90s covers band and do some REM songs already. Straight onto TH-cam and found you sir. I already know the parts now and that's needed now is practice and more practice. Liked, subscribed and off to check out some of the other videos 🙂
I wish I would have discovered you long ago. Soon as my money gets right I will send you some I promise. Still waiting on the sultan's. I know you can play it. I also like the way you move your arm down on those open strings.
@@RockPopMandolin you play so smooth and effortlessly. I know you can play it if anyone can. The original chords too. Can't wait to hear it. Have learned more the last few hours then in probably My whole life.The way you teach is easy to follow. Already have 3 songs down pretty good. One question why do you not use your pinky on e sting when you hit An?
Mike, been playing this one for a few years after learning it from your first tutorial. All of your tutorials are great! Thank you for doing this. Wondering if you're familiar with John Wyatt's Cry Love which has his mandolin player up front throughout the whole song. I can't get the solo - hoping you'll knock it out for us?
Yeah ! Great , video very clear instructions , I've be playing guitar for long but thinking of buying a Mandolin have you ever covered ( When I’m Dead And Gone McGuinness Flint ) as I've seen a few covers on TH-cam , but most leave link riffs between the chords and it would nice to see it played right. thanks
They’re called Johansson mandolins, handmade by Ross Johansson in Alberta, Canada. Great instruments. You can contact Ross through his website. Tell him I sent you!! johanssonmandolins.com/
Hi Mike, I really appreciate all of your lessons and was wondering if you could do a lesson on Lady Eleanor by Lindisfarne as I’ve never seen one on that great song
Just discovered your channel,this is breath of fresh air.After iver 30 years of playin guitar I fancy a challenge and Mandolin it is,what pickup do you use in your mandolin to amplify it for your live shows with the band?
Nice version, but Peter Buck does not play that first section with downstrokes only. In the first 5 seconds of this concert from 2008, you can see him play it with more of a D DU U UD ... th-cam.com/video/AsXg-zE7gq4/w-d-xo.html

Cool! Have fun with the tune. Try Copperhead Road. Another fun one.
Killer song. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it.
Thanks Mike great video!

Beautiful! Thanks Mike! 💗🤘

Thanks. I’ll take another look at Sultans.

@@gregadams6055 Thanks. Sometimes it’s only necessary to play the three lower strings on a chord.
Great lesson & very helpful. Thx :).
@@Keninoz1 No worries!
Thank you 😊
Thanks!
No worries! And thanks so much for the tip!
I very much appreciate the correction. I agree that it sounds more like the original after those adjustments. Tip earned!
You’re welcome. And thanks for the tip!
Another great video…👍
Thanks!

Nice Mandolin bro!! Wow! Reminds me of my Gibson 61 triple 000 sunburst
Is it super expensive ?? Because it sounds sooooooo nice 👍
No, not really. They sell for about $3000 US.
@@RockPopMandolinwhat is that brand sir the 3000 range is where I'm looking to move to from my loar 520

Happy to meet you Mike!
Likewise! Hope to see you play live one day too!
awesome video mike, dream of the archer and sylvan song by heart are good ones. Gallows pole by led zeppelin is cool too
Thanks!
Hey Mike could you do a lesson on Whiskey myers bury my bones? I have figured the intro out. But, still having trouble figuring out the solo
Don’t know the song. But I’ll check it out.

@@RockPopMandolin Sounds superb,look forward to hearing more of your playing.Thanks
LOve it. How about the Levon Helm Version of Atlantic City
Yeah, that’s another one on my list.
Yes please!!!
Wow nice what model is your mandolina
It’s a Johansson, handmade in Canada.

How about Plush by Stone Temple Pilots
Good suggestion. Love that song. I’ll look into it!
Hi Mike. Do you have TABS for the songs that you post? If so, how do you create them?
Yes, of course. You can get tons of mandolin TABs at www.patreon.com/rockpopmandolin
Do you know any Japanese mando songs brother?
No, unfortunately.
