This one is way better than the other version by the other guy. It sounds way more "Scottish" Slowed down a bit I can almost hear a Bagpipe off in the middle of the battlefield. Thanks a bunch for this.
This lesson, as is usual for David, is excellent. Clear, straightforward , and highly informative. To accomplish these high quality lessons he obviously puts in a huge amount of effort for which I offer thanks. ( btw his little plunge into theory here was especially well done )
I got here thanks to Mandolin Mondays. I've discovered more mandolin - amazing- tunes and I honestly felt overwhelmed on the skills you have to have to play them. The way you dissect a tune and go over the different skills set required, I get to practice along and play tunes I thought I would never get to play. I know I still have a long long way to go learning wise; but, in a year I've learned so much. Thank you very much David. I can't wait to get home to try this.
In the B part, at the end of bar 6, if the melody is playing a G natural, why play an E chord and not an E minor? I realize it the chord happens quickly and may not even be noticed, but I'm curious
Thanks for checking out the lesson Banjobarron! I wouldn't always limit myself to 2 measures of improvising, but it's a great place to start to see if you can keep the structure of the melody going inside your head while you're playing. Still find this challenging to do!
Thank you brother david, your videos have been keeping me on the right track. You are the man 🙏

My pleasure Peter! Thanks for the encouragement!
David, your transcriptions are excellent. And easy to follow. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.

Thank you for all the great information. Jumping from bass guitar for the mandolin.
Another great video.
Wow, I can work with this for a while. Great lesson. Thank you.
Sure thing, Connie! Happy picking!
This is a great lesson, thanks! Love the format.
Glad to hear it! Happy Picking!
An excellent and informative video. Thank you David. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
What a great lesson David.
Thanks Aaron!

Great lesson!
Great video - thank you.
Thank you
Is that an Appalachian dulcimer I see in the background?
It is, but it's purely decoration, haha!
Lovely tune and playing and improv analysis.Thanks! (Btw, it's Cull-ODD-en). Interesting bit of history, though!
Cool, thanks! Not much of a history guy--guess that's why I play mandolin 😆
@@DavidBenedictMandolin Please don't let it stop you giving us little bits of history of the tune - I enjoy hearing those details
You have a dulcimer in the background. Looks like there are 6 tuners. Do you have it set up 3 sets of double strings?
Thank you David. Do you ever improvise for more than 2 measures in any regular bluegrass song?

1946?
And the name of the battlefield is pronounced with the accent is on the second syllable: Cul-LAHD-den.
Haha! Wow, slip of the tongue! Thanks for catching that. Think I can edit that out there. Hope the music part of the lesson was more accurate 😆
