Mandolin Mondays #96: Honored to have the illustrious Adam Steffey on Mandolin Mondays this week! Check out his playing on this old time medley with his crisp-sounding Northfield mando.
It would suffice to say that Adam Steffey is one of the most successful mandolinists of all time--5 time Grammy Winner and 9-time Mandolin Player Of The Year of the International Bluegrass Music Association. Over the years, he's played with some of the top bluegrass bands in the scene, including The Lonesome River Band, The Isaacs, Mountain Heart, Alison Krauss & Union Station, and most recently his own band The Boxcars. Now he teaches for the bluegrass program at East Tennessee State University where he continues to shape the future of bluegrass music.
Here's Adam with a few words about the tunes in this video: "This clip is just a medley of tunes I enjoy sitting around and picking. The first section is 'Durang’s Hornpipe,' going into 'New Five Cent Piece,’ and finishing out with ‘Fine Times At Our House.'"

Happy Picking!

I vote that we adopt Steffy's version of Durang's Hornpipe as the official bluegrass jam standard. There are a couple too many versions out there so this tune really doesn't get much play. Adam's arrangement (which he recorded on I don't know which CD) is a nice take on the 3-part version I've seen played by a fiddler or two. The old time version uses the C part here as the A and has a not-so-catchy B part. Adam's arrangement is so clean you can see the straight version despite his using plenty of blue notes. Let's stay with him on this! :)

If there is someone better at this style of playing mandolin, please let me know - - Cause I ain't heard no one better.

He basically created this style of mandolin playing, so I think it would be safe to assume that he would be the best.

this is a gem for a youtube video because you can see plainly what he's doing, just go and change the video speed, no tab needed :)

It may work for you but doesn’t mean it’ll work for others and you shouldn’t assume so ….it may be plain to see to you but not to others … ur so rude you’re so rude. Shame on your mother for not teaching you any sort of manners! Talking down to people like that you’re disgusting

No Neck binding? I see the headstock is single bound, but it looks like the neck/fretboard has none. This would be uncommon if it is the case, but I do like the look.
