What Child is This/Greensleeves- Basic
beginner mandolin Free lesson
Free to watch — signing in is what remembers where you got to.
Merry Christmas! For Christmas this year, I thought I'd teach a FREE basic version of this classic tune to accompany the intermediate arrangement I'm offering. This basic version sticks VERY close to the melody and is in the traditional waltz timing of 3/4. If you have friends and family who are also pickers, be sure to download the free versions for banjo and guitar!

I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

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

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

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

You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
