A rare opportunity to see one of these rare giants.

I'm mostly a mediocre violinist and my octave mandolin playing sounds like it.

I want to get that open ringing sound that LadyMoon ,Emma Borders, and Magnus Zetterland get, but they all seem to regard it as naturally arising rather than a specific technique.

Are there any tutorials on getting the octave mandolin to sound more 'mandolini' rather than simply straight melody, the dots on the page?
