It is hard to play horn stuff on a mandolin!




That is excellent, man. The old school guitarists almost to a man used to emphasize transcribing horns in order to get the natural "singing" type of phrasing that players who have to take a breath to keep on playing bring to the thing.

I know more good bluegrassers who can play good bebop than jazzers these days, they know more of the repertoire, too, now ain't that interesting?
