So I must have missed this... Where did this come from, and what year is it? What years did Heritage make the Madolins? Oh, Crap, here comes the G.A.S....... :laughing8:

Word is Heritage made around 50 mandolins. So good luck with that GAS. :laughing5: Mine (an H40) is a 1990, so they had them for at least 5 yrs. But then, that's not uncommon for a mandolin maker to only put out 50 mandos in 5 yrs. They take a while to make. Far as we know, and we think we have this one down pretty well, Aaron Cowles, former Gibs/Heritage employee made the mandolins for Heritage. He's quite the luthier in his own right. The H50 is the prettier wood version of the H40 A-style mandolins. I've only seen 1 of the F-style Heritage mandos.

Thanks, Kenny. I guess I won't hold my breath for one to turn up! Especially since I really wouldn't know what to do with it, other than try some of the chords you posted.

Thanks Kenny....thats perfect!!!!

 

That is cool. I've wondered about how to play a mando myself... cool little instrument that does have its place in the music world.

So, Brent...where did you find this one?

 

I don't think I've ever seen one for sale in the usual places.

I'll have to take a look at the TAB of that, I learned it by ear... it would be interesting to see how they do it.

 

 

I like when you go..." oh crap, take 2..."

You're certainly picking up how to play the mandolin quickly, great job. Great tone.

Sounded good. I especially liked the "aw $hit" moment. It's good to know I'm not the only one that has them.

Thanks man! LMAO....i forgot to edit that out

Hey Brently: Here's another cool mandolin song from the mid-80s.....

 

J/K (but it is sorta a mandolin song). Next time I see you (to pick up the mandolin you want to sell me), I want to hear you play this song, but dance like the bass player!

i actually used to like that song

I'm waiting for mandolin arrangements of Kiss songs.

We do Sweet Child (Guns and Roses) on Mandolin. Is that close enough? And I'd imagine Brent could rock out I Want to Rock and Roll All Night easily enough.
