Jim Richter is a multi-instrumentalist who has focused on roots-based American music with a special focus on traditional electric & acoustic blues. Blues mandolin has truly been the niche Jim was meant to embrace. Though respectful of the blues mandolin pioneers, Jim has sought to expand blues mandolin repertoire though leveraging his background as an electric blues guitarist. Jim has become recognized as one of the leaders in this area. Jim’s extensive knowledge of guitar-based classic rock has led him to transcribe/arrange many tunes for mandolin that show how versatile the mandolin can be in reimagining rock tunes. Jim is most proud of the work he has done in mandolin education especially for adult learners. Jim developed the Richter Mandolin Camp that focuses on 3 areas: 1) instruction for the non-bluegrasser, 2) adult learners who need a different approach & 3) teaching students how to harness what they already know to build self-efficacy and immediate use of that knowledge.
I am a song remains the same fan . Also, listening to your channels 2009 octave mandolin rain song recording. I was imagining that Mr Jimmy page had used a mandolin while writing the song(s)
Mandolin is not at concert. It’s actually a hair flat. I’d changed the strings earlier that day and think they were still settling in. My apologies that it’s not exactly at pitch
I listen to this at least once a week. Its one of my bucket list items to learn this song on my Mendel Octave Mandolin. Stellar cover and beautiful tone, Jim.
Hello Jim, it never occurred to me that Jimi Hendrix would sound could be interpreted as Blue Grass but you have done it. I like it, would love to hear an ensemble play "Angel". Thanks for the post.
This is good, but Josh Turner’s version is all the round better. It may be a result of better recording equipment, but the tonal quality doesn’t allow the notes to sing out clearly d
I’ve just looked you up again after about 10 years. You’re getting really good on that mandolin now! Still rocking the dungarees too. Il check out all your other tuition videos now. I’ve not played at all since getting married. I wanna pick it Up again.
Dynamite. I would love to hear you take a chorus. The tone on that axe is something else! Warm, loud, even, full….. the way I’d always thought a Grand Artist should sound. Makes me want to learn!
Hey Jim, I really appreciate you putting these video's out, unfortunately, I can't support you financially, but I always give you a like and leave a positive message. Please keep up your tremendous efforts, I have been watching, learning and enjoying your video's for donkey's years. Cheers mate as always, much love from the uk :)
Hey Jim, ace to see another of your videos, winging it's way into my feed. (Did you see what I did there!!! :) ) Thank you so much, love n hugs from the uk
Johnny Young is my favorite!! I don’t read music or even know what 2-3-5 &7th. Maybe I’m dyslexic because that sounds like another language. My favorites are Johnny Young, Rich Delgrosso and YOU!!
