Bill Cheatham- Melody
beginner mandolin
This lesson is for members
Not gonna lie, Bill Cheatham can be an intimidator. BUT, we can learn that rascal when we break it down to the basics. Let's remove the fluff for a while to get this melody under our belt, then we can begin improvising later–Mr. Bill won't mind a bit!

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

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.

Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
