Salt Spring -- Guitar melody

[@ermancroney3805]

Your God given talent is shining very well! Wow! So clear, simple, yet fascinating. Thank you.

[@alan4sure]

Beautifully done. 👍 Mandolinist John Reischman is a regular performer at festivals up here in Western Canada, and this song of his is common at jams. He has written many beautiful tunes great for jamming. Check out Little Pine Siskin, Horses of Dorrigo, Nesser and Suzanne's Journey, too.

Came upon this by accident. I've been playing it off and on for some time, never quite satisfied with my approach. You've given me new insights that will have immediate impact.

@@Spreadswings love it! Thanks for watching

Chuffin great, will get in and learn this and try to play it at the next pick, thanks for taking the time and effort to share 👍

[@markskywalker71]

Thank you so much Andy, a really nice arrangement that I will learn for sure. Bravissimo!!!Ciao da Milano

[@MightyTastyGuitar]

Tasty playing. Thanks for posting.

[@markbyrum4743]

Excellent tune, Andy. I learned this from your mando-guitar duo just recently posted, and this vid. gives me some tips I missed. Thanks. Terrific!

[@dobrodoc]

Awesome playing!

[@J-Lo7218]

Thank you Andy. Been playing this one regularly at jams - you gave me a lot of good ways to improve with this.

[@johnvosper3011]

Thanks for instructive tuition, like the way it builds up

[@iantaylor827]

Wonderful. Really well presented. Thanks

[@apgwilym]

Lovely I will enjoy learning this.

[@carlmally6292]

Thanks for this Andy. I have never quite gotten the melody to this one and always kind of faked it.

[@mandohat]

Same here. I had to really listen to John's mandolin part to get it. He's got some different timing than I would naturally play. There's still some small guitar differences here, but I think it's pretty close to what he does.

[@toddwilkinson865]

Man that was nice, Andy!

[@patricewebb9806]

Wow! Thanks for starting so nice and slow and giving it some embellishments the second time through. Been hacking away at this one and I think I'll be able to play it a lot better after learning from this. 👏🏼

[@dobrodoc]

Excellent!

[@klippdachs]

Thanks for posting! Very helpful.

[@Rybanez120]

This is has been at the top of my list for next tunes to learn, thanks!!

[@jeffmcdonald6517]

Same! LOVE this song. So ironic that Andy posted this. What are your plans to learn it? This video only? Others?

[@Rybanez120]

@@jeffmcdonald6517 I'll probably try to figure it out by ear as much as I can and then come back to this video, that way I can see how my approach to it differed and then fill in the gaps , round out the sound, etc : ) eventually I'd probably look at how some other people are playing it for inspiration on vairations.

[@jeffmcdonald7882]

@@Rybanez120 that’s great stuff. Good luck with the song. It’s a great one.

[@demolitionwilliams7419]

Love that

[@jeffredden5136]

Just came across this, thank you!

[@lestafari1]

Sweet rendition. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffhackett6901]

This fits with the way I learn best perfectly. Hopefully you do a bunch more just like this, it's great!

[@mandohat]

That's good to know!

[@RBZ3]

Sweet!

[@dramkilgallen5237]

I just learned so much from watching this. Thanks.

[@Waldorfcorp]

Dang that is wonderful. My jam group has decided to work on this. I'm going to "try" and work on your interpretation Keep your fingers crossed that I can get close!!

[@mandohat]

@@Waldorfcorp awesome! Stick with it, it's a good one

Molly Tuttles recording for gryphon is quite hip

[@pekes1956]

Thank you.

[@paulboden7850]

👌

[@JosephusDalrymple]

Sure is purdy.

[@rogerd9150]

Wow!! That sounds really really nice! Love the tone of whatever guitar that is. Is it a D-45? Also are you doing cross picking in that?

[@mandohat]

Martin D-41 -- I'm using some of my four-note cross picking rolls, yes.

[@sdg1685]

What kind of guitar are you using?

[@mandohat]

Martin D-41

[@JimmyMook700]

A lot of Rolling Stones in those riffs.

[@mandohat]

@@JimmyMook700 oh that's an interesting observation. I think it's the emphasis on beat four, which is in new Orleans music, and made it into Keith Richards playing, and also into some fiddle styles that John Reischman may be emulating in this tune

[@JimmyMook700]

@@mandohat thanks! Yeah I kept hearing songs in there. Really cool! Well done!!!
