Under the Double Eagle
intermediate mandolin
This lesson is for members
This song was actually written in the late 1800's and made famous by American composer John Philip Sousa. But that hasn't kept it from leaking over into bluegrass circles, where I think it belonged in the first place! This is a great song in the key of C that helps you concentrate on speed and power!

Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

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

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

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.
