We use it in on a few tunes and it is a nice change. Drew plays guitar on most of my songs but variety from an acoustic duo is nice I think.

Nice going, Mark. Little Martha is one of my favorite fingerpicking pieces. I play mostly solo fingerstyle and have adapted a mix of Allman/ Betts and Kottke but I would look at your arrangement if I'd ever play with a mandolin.

thanks... actually, I usually play that tune with fingers but sometimes live it works better with a flat pick technique... Hard to get all the detail with fingers in some live settings.
