Hi Mickey
I really like your song Lincoln County Air played on the absaroka (which i recently purchased) Is this available in tab on anything you have?

Rome Harris

Greetings Rome,

Thanks so much for your kind words...and, yes, we do hope to have all of our originals tabbed out which will include Lincoln County Air...

Our "Introduction to Mandola" video has an arrangement of Lincoln County Air that would transcribe directly to mandolin. In fact, most of the techniques, and songs, taught in the mandola video can be directly applied to the mandolin.

Please stay tuned for tab arrangements to be listed on our website.

Keep on Pickin', Mickey

I loved that video. I wish you would put that on DVD, I don't want my tape to ever break. Can Mr. Corchran ever do an advanced mandola video. Very pleased with the product, tons of good information in there.

Robert Hutchinson

Greetings Robert,

Yes...DVDs are in the works...thanks so much for your kind words regarding my Mandola video.

Be aware, your tape does have a lifetime warranty...if it does break, we'll send you a replacement free of charge.

Good Morning Mickey,

Just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed your video "An Introduction to the Mandola." Having played mandolin for several years, I wanted to extend my musical range and thought the mandola would be a logical, worthwhile pursuit. I must tell you what a valuable, concise, pithy resource you've created. I found the information to be extradordinarily useful and was amazed at the amount of material covered in slightly less than two hours. While the initial information presented would be useful to a novice player, you've wasted little time on repetition and the tape quickly progressed beyond my skills. By the time I was 50 minutes into it I encountered material which will keep me occupied for a long, long time to come in learning to master this instrument. I found the technique sections dealing with arpeggio and cross picking most valuable and the "food for thought" offered in Chapter VII, New Dimensions in Mandola, was worth the purchase price in and of itself. Again, thank you for creating this wonderful resource and I'll look forward to your future productions. Errol Dimenstein
