Yesterday we published a new mandolin book with 50 fiddle tune arrangements by Mickey Abraham! We've already sold 200 of them, so it seems like y'all like it. Get a copy here: lessonswithmarcel.com/product/mickeys-50-mandolin-…
Folks have been asking me to put a little book together of some Billy Strings tabs. Here's 50 transcriptions of Billy's playing from live and unrehearsed moments across 120 pages. It's a great study tool for understanding Billy's improvisational voice, I hope y'all get a lot out of it!
It's now been 10 years since Lessons With Marcel started, I used to gig with a handful of bands and teach out of my spare room in a slow effort to quit my day job at the local toy store. This is the first thing I uploaded a couple months after the business started. Go look at how silly I look and leave a comment about how my playing was terrible. Thanks for watching everyone, hopefully none of us watch this particular video again until it's been another 10 years. Okay, back to work.
Well, folks, apparently PayPal decided to roleplay as a final boss over the last couple days. Some of you may have experienced “critical error” screens, duplicate charges, and non-existent download emails. If so, you weren’t alone. PayPal and I battled it out and both lost.
To fix it, I had to perform emergency site surgery with duct tape and coffee. The good news: the site should now run better than ever. The bad news: there may still be a Tron-esque event happening in the code, so if something looks weird, holler at me.
Apologies if this mess stole practice time and left you staring at error messages instead of Tony Rice tabs.
We're gearing up for the next Bluegrass Coalition video where y'all can submit your breaks and jam together in a video. The LWM Discord server has narrowed us down to two choices. Help us break the tie and vote what you want to pick on!
It's almost the 10 year anniversary of Lessons With Marcel! We didn't hit 100k subs... but I did manage to wear a hotdog costume more than once on the channel. You win some, you lose some. We did a 5 year anniversary shirt, so I feel like we have to do a 10 year anniversary shirt. What do y'all want on it?
Hey gang, huge thanks to everyone that made the launch of my pick so successful last month. We sold out in 16 hours! I've also only heard good feedback, so my nerves have gone away. If you missed out, they're back in stock. Shh, don't tell anyone.
I can't believe it but the day has finally come. Check out the signature Lessons With Marcel picks, I'm so proud of these things. I can't stop playing mine. Huge thanks to Picksmith for making a pick with my face on it that actually competes with the best boutique picks out there.

Sorry gang, I got sick but I'm still hustling to get this week's video out. Please take this time to tell me my hairline is doing okay, thank you.
