I had never really played this song, but the other day I just sat down and these solos just came out. We'll learn four mandolin solos in singable D that work well in a band situation or solo. Enjoy!

Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?
