  • Here’s my version of the Pogues classic “Fairytale of New York” arranged for solo mandolin. Rather than focusing on the chord progressions, we’ll be looking more at the vocal/lead lines which translate great to the mando. Merry Christmas and Cheers to everyone!
    Here’s a full play through of this arrangement:

    Great excellent arrangement just seen a concert on DVD of the Pogues At The Down And County Club featuring this song. Always wanted to play it I can now prepare for Xmas. We play in Bennetts Bar Edinburgh Scotland. Thank you!

      Wonderful to hear :) I actually know someone in Edinburgh. She sings in bars and pubs there and goes by the name Nina. This is such a great song! Cheers in Edinburgh :)

    Thanks for bringing this song into my lexicon. Seriously I didn't know it, don't think I ever heard it. It's a great song. Now I have something to do for the holidays other than Bach!

      @@COMANDOLIN Thank you! I love the songs you do on the mandolin. It can be hard for those of us who play at mandolin, and don't play bluegrass, to be inspired and taught. You are the light!

    Please can you do a tutorial for “happiness is a warm gun”. I would really love to learn how to play it on mandolin

      Hey there - I checked that one out and I’m afraid it might be a bit above my pay scale :) There’s an awful lot going on there with some really complex chords and melodies happening at once. Im not sure I could cram all that on to four strings in my usual chord melody way. I appreciate you watching, but Im probably not going to be much help on that one. Have a great day :)

    I got a chance to play this on bass behind a husband-and-wife duo a couple years ago on New Year's Eve. What a great tune, what a great time. Thanx for posting.
    On another note, you inspired me to do this: czcams.com/video/CAnfhLzYiMA/video.html
    Thanx for all your good hard work this year. Happy Holidays.
