Which is this mandolin?

[@jcurtis30water]

Thank you. This is a Gibson A model from 1921.

Hey John, Could you make a Video on how to strum a mandolin without a pick? I can’t find any help with that, but I don’t enjoy using a pick that often on a mandolin. Please help.

[@guyluca7361]

Use your finger tips like the ukulele. Plenty of tutorials on that. It is really a pick instrument, in my opinion.

Is there a tab for this somewhere? I cant find it

[@jcurtis30water]

I have not done a tab for this, if I do, I’ll let you know. Thanks for tuning in.
