Featuring a Larrivee L-03 Guitar and Gibson F-9 Mandolin
Tom took his Larrivee L-03 guitar to the October 24th episode of the show and accompanied one of his mandolin students on a couple of fiddle tunes and Girl from Ipanema. Ed’s mandolin, a fine Gibson F-9, inspired some tremolo improvisations from Tom. Tom also talked about how to create instant guitar solos. A caller requested a “funky” version of Stairway to Heaven, which led to discussion about a tendency among the uninitiated to call Stairway to Heaven “classical” guitar because it’s arpeggiated.
