Mandolin - The Best Images, Videos & Discussions About Mandolin

I’ve been looking to buy a mandolin because I like the sound and have been itching to pick up a new instrument. At the moment I play, electric guitar, classical guitar, bass and piano. The goal is to learn some songs and learn the instrument of course, but also to try and incorporate it in some of my own music.

However, I really don’t like bluegrass (sorry to all the fans here). My main music preferences would be folk, indie rock, prog rock, classical, jazz and hiphop and I’m looking to incorporate the mandolin mainly in some folk-ish work of mine. Since folk is a pretty broad genre here is a song in the style I’d like to play

Songs Ohia - Ring the Bell

Would it be worth it to pick up a mandolin? And if so, would a oval hole or f hole suit me better?

I never thought I would own/afford a nice mandolin. Today my beautiful wife surprised me with this birthday present. Made me this gorgeous strap. Tons of nice picks and strings. Plethora of other things. Made me tear up. Nicest gift I’ve ever received. Means so much

not sure if this is a theory question- led zeppelin's going to california reminds me of some other time period (not the 1970s), like..the renaissance maybe? is it the guitar or mandolin work or the lyrics? can someone opine?

20 years ago I used to listen to going to california by led zeppelin all the time. It puts me in some weird trance and makes me think I'm in some other time period (not the 70s when it was famous) - I'm not sure if it's the guitar work, the mandolin counterpoint melody (if that's even the right way to say it), or if I'm being affected by the lyrics-I dont even know what the lyrics are but maybe my subcoinscious is soaking it all in...

can someone opine on if this reminds you of some other time period, which time period, and why? is it some musical technique?

Does someone know what instrument this is? It's tuned like an upright bass (EADG). I searched for 'bass mandolin', but the rosette and back are different, so it's a different instrument I think. The back ressembles a lute. Thanks! reddit.com/gallery/moce4c

New here, thought I'd share a loop I did today. Hadn't used my mandolin in awhile, and have been listening to zeppelin for the first time in awhile. So, I used the chord progression from going to California, and did a little improv. v.redd.it/fysopubx0ms61

First attempt at restoring an old bowlback mandolin. It's a Stridente Neapolitan Mandolin and a quick google search dates it around 1890-1900. Bought it online for relatively cheap. Unfortunately it's unplayable as the action is far too high. reddit.com/gallery/mu8k5d

This is a song I wrote on my octave mando a while back, I play in quite an unconventional way so I'd love some feedback. Also I feel there aren't many singer songwriters that use mandolin so I thought I'd post. Peace x youtube.com/watch?v=nh0ro…
