Ear Training & the Pentatonic Scale
beginner mandolin
This lesson is for members
Can you find these pentatonic scale-based melodies by ear? In this lesson, I'll guide you through some ear training so that you can begin recognizing licks & melodies by ear...then PLAY them! We'll also connect our voice to our instrument, so that improvisation happens more naturally!

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

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

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

Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.
