HELP---need blues tab for mandolin?

Alright. I don't know any except what i make up. Do the same. There's a not a whole lot out there. Create.

Best I can offer is try to get ahold of some Yank Rachell tabs, or, less likely, some Memphis Jug Band, Birmingham Jug Band, etc.

I don't know if I know of any web place, but if you like, I'll figure out some blues scales.

Have a search for blues violin too - they are tuned the same and will have some similarities.

You might try the Learn To Play Blues Mandolin book and DVD by Steve James. You will learn the scales, chords, lead riffs, rhythm comping, turnarounds and other techniques for playing traditional blues music. Also included are mandolin blues tab for Divin' Duck Blues, The Lonesome Train That Carried My Gal Away and more blues songs at http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/ard...

I've been trying to find the same thing. I just started playing the mandolin. Here is what I have found:

Bluegrass Mandolin Homepage (http://www.users.waitrose.com/~john.bald... I know it says Bluegrass but the links are good and there are some blues songs. I mean a lot of them come from the same source.

Mandozine.com (http://www.mandozine.com/)

Mandolin Cafe (http://www.mandolincafe.com/)

Try these to start with and explore the links. I've been finding lots of stuff just by exploring the links.

Good luck and have fun (And let me know if you find anything good!)
