Notes: This is a really well-known guitar lick in D that also works well on the mandolin...
I started life out as a guitarist and still play guitar.
I use my guitar experiences to learn the other instruments, i.e., mandolin, banjo, fiddle.

Notes: Harmonized Scales are a great way to:
#1) Learn the diatonic chords in a given key,
#2) Learn to use scale-based, double-stop chord positions
in different places on the neck,
#3) Learn the neck as the Harmonized Scale progresses
UPWARD!

Notes: It's funny to think that the mandolin tuning is essentially the 4 lower pitched strings of a regular 6-string guitar, upside down.
In spite of this odd fact, songs written on a six string guitar work perfectly in the inverted tuning!
I've got more mando arrangements coming that prove this out...

Notes: Close to the playing of Yank Rachell. Note if you play along with records from Yank (mainly the takes in his later years). He uses to anounce "Diving Duck Blues in G" but has lowered the strings of his mandolin to the key of F. But he plays the tune in the G-positions.

Notes: This arrangement is as close as I could get it to Al Lester's version. He was a great fiddle player that lived in Florence Alabama. This is from the "Tribute to Buck Shook" fiddle album recorded in Lexington Alabama in 1970s.
