GUEST,QRS A mandolin question.. (11) A mandolin question.. 19 Feb 00

I have a question for you catters:

When I listen to my planxty cd´s I can not really understand how Andy Irvine plays his lovley tunes on his mandolin. My knowledge of the mandolin is poor but I play some guitar, 5-string banjo and Tin whistle.(main instrument)

A friend of mine told me that Andy plays in Arpeggio scales (correct word??) but I still don´t get HOW he plays the songs and tunes..

The mandolin player in the group "Dervish" plays almost in the same way I think..

Can someone please tell me how it´s done or some tips,tabs, sites with information etc?

Thanks Mudcatters and

Regards

QRS
