Hi all,
In looking to play with a guitarist, I find myself gravitating towards songs with mandolin, e.g., a lot of REM and/or bluegrass. In the case of REM, the mandolin is often background to a harpsichord, in which case I try to listen to/play that part instead. In doing this, I seem to be getting away from the traditional playing... especially in using a pick to get a cleaner, more "lead" sound.
I assume many have been down this path, so I wanted to see if anyone has recommendation on transcribing alt rock and/or bluegrass for the uke, especially playing what would be considered lead and/or solos.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
