beginner mandolin
This lesson is for members
This is a great one for any picker, even rank beginners! We start with the basic melody and get more and more radioactive as we go.

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

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

The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

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