Octave mandola improvisation [Shorts]

Improvisation on octave mandola over a simple programmed backing track. Two mics used - the good one is just out of shot because it's hard to get the phone camera position right when engineering and playing at the same time in  a very confined space. Playing with thumb/fingers only, which I have rarely done. I am not a finger-stylist.  I usually play instruments with a plectrum but I've started to like the mellower sound of fingerstyle. Anyway, I hope you like this short jam. There's a longer version on Instagram.
