Excerpt from the original
Howdy folks, some of you may have seen David Benedict's recent video on 30 mandolin kick offs you should know. If not: https://youtu.be/XSRnaDQzy5o?si=CSILDCbt4-2y8M-Z Some real bangers in here for sure. As a challenge, I decided to transcribe them all! Check out the tab, notes, and play alongs on my soundslice.com page: https://www.soundslice.com/users/tgmartin000/ Most of them are at the top of the list chronologically. A few others are older, so you'll have to search by name. Happy pickin!
