20 Mandolin Licks the PROS Use

[@dr.p3637]

John Reischman and David Benedict are such great influences on all of us. I haven't been playing long, but I have learned more from John's sense of melody and his lessons on Peghead than anywhere else. David Benedict is a brilliant teacher. Thank you David and thank you John and all of you guys on this video.

Love that Mike Marshall just completely improvised his favourite lick

Caterina is my hero! What an amazing musician, and such a lovely person. 😁

I was happy to see Joe K. but having John Reishman show us a Jethro Burns lick that Sam Bush used on a Tony Rice song was worth the price of admission alone!

This is one of your coolest ask a great player ………… , walk around surveys ever, David! “Great snippets of personality interactions” is an approach you have that highlights your tremendous social intelligence aspects. I am so glad I was able to be one of your pandemic era students so I could have the opportunity to get to know one of the most perceptive, kind, and giving people ever. And I haven’t even covered your talent as a musician or instructor, two tremendous giftings, as well. Thanks for this licks feauture! Dan Brooks, CA

I’m in Asheville for a few weeks and just wandered around Swannanoa Gathering for the first time a couple of days ago. What a treasure of a place! It was great to see many of my favorite musicians in the video.

This may be your best video of all! Thanks to you and the other great musicians who shared their favorite licks.

Reischman's fave is mine too, the first notes to BLT.

[@gregcliburn6904]

David, you put it best yourself: Holy smokes! Thanks for putting this together and sharing it!

[@keithwittymusic]

That initial Casey Campbell lick is so good, man.

[@michaeladams2644]

[@GabrielSpence-g9l]

[@bender44444]

Can I borrow Reischman for a few weeks? Super video!! Thank You David...

[@tannerevans3056]

John Reischman’s favorite lick is an entire Sam Bush solo. Amazing.

[@Gazorks64]

Thanks!

[@longtalljay]

David, if you did transcriptions of the great mandolin parts on Tony's albums and made it into a proper book, that will be a perennial seller for your lifetime. (Like the Tony Rice tabs book selling since the 1970s.)

[@jordimoreno4596]

Thank you very much, you do excellent work, you are great.

[@jeffbarnard3050]

Good education! Love it!

[@KenIn_NH]

John's lick #18 sounds a lot like the opening line of John Lee Hooker's Boom boom boom boom 😊

[@TheMandolinMuse]

Amazing 🤩

[@andrewcarr3703]

awesome video

[@pertinaciousD]

The thing I notices is that the left hand on most of these is relatively simple, but what makes them really stand out is what the right hand is doing.
