Old Joe Clark- Basic Melody
beginner mandolin
This lesson is for members
Now that you've made it through Boot Camp, it's time to learn our first song! Old Joe Clark is one of the most common fiddle tunes there ever was. I love it...though I may be a little partial to the name.

Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

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

Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
