Скачать или смотреть "Texas Gales" for mandolin, slow version

Here's my attempt to slow down the Watson family (Is it Doc on mandolin with Ralph Rinzler on guitar?!) version of this tune. I strongly recommend playing this tune (as we hear it in the recording) with a consistent stream of down-up-down-up pick strokes, not letting the raggy syncopations interrupt the flow. To help reinforce the connections between melody and pick direction, I suggest singing along with this (or a faster) recording so that you can emphasize the right connections between hand, ears, and brain.
