Mandolin great Andy Statman joins us on this week’s Fretboard Journal Podcast to talk about his new album, Monroe Bus, taking lessons from David Grisman, the influence of Bill Monroe, finding your own tone and so much more.

Portions of this interview can be found on the Fretboard Journal‘s online piece on Statman here.

Andy was so insightful during that conversation that we decided to run the whole chat as a podcast. We hope you enjoy it.
