Atlantic City Mandolin Lesson

[@TheRycooder]

I want that first 2 licks before you said let's get going.... this kicked some serious ass....

[@WmHildy]

Great lesson, I was looking for the Band version with mandolin, which I prefer over Springsteen’s version.

[@heatheralice1974]

I've seen Springsteen 36 times and the Band never - but Levon owned this. (In the slangy sense, not the legal sense).

[@riatawendt7848]

Awesome lesson, love Levon and love your mandolin!

[@COMANDOLIN]

That is a spectacular sounding mando!

[@andrewhendryx]

Thanks! It is not loud but blends well with bands.

Awesome riffing before you get going, and great tone. There are a few things that i think are different as ive been learning this to cover it, but i dont want to be rude. Oh well, take no offense, but the first double stop is (i think) actually an octave. Open a with the fifth fret a. And some of the strums just hit single notes. So i have (A-a) (a) (A-a) - (A) (e) (A-e) - then the rest the same. As for the chord voicings, i am possibly hearing a high a in the F#m voicing and def think i hear a C# in the A chord. I like your way better, frankly, and may do it that way myself, but i have lowest to highest (C# f# C# a) (A E C# e) (A D A F#) (A E C# A) on the chords. I could be wrong on one of those, or I'm hearing overtones, or maybe theres two mandos? But i am def picking up the some of those notes from very close listening on headphones at slowed down speeds. I can hear the low As on the A chord and the middle C#... It makes it harder to play though, and less open sounding.

"Atlantic City" is Bruce Springsteen´s song. The Band´s version is a cover.

[@andrewhendryx]

Yup. I should have stated that. I am teaching the version with mandolin by The Band and by Levon Helm.

Springsteen wrote many songs for other artists. Manfred Man- blinded by the light and spirit in the night. The Ramones- hungry heart. He wrote Fire for elvis but elvis died a few days after receiving the song, so the pointer sisters sang it. Blue Moon Rising did a cover on Youngstown. You can find it on KZbin it's a outstanding cover
