Why didn’t you show them that the G is on the ring finger of the G Chord?

Isn't that a mandolina? I know they have a similar sound but I saw a Nashville musician say a mondolina has deeper sound than a mandolin. Mandolins have that sort of squigly thingy at the top where they usually wrap the strap around.

I’ve been laying mando for a long time, and can confidently play lead most of the time, but this would have gotten me there MUCH quicker. Dude, where've you been all my life! :)

It really works! I have been looking for this trick and it really works!

Still helpful in 2024.

What a great and helpful vid. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Hi Eddy, this is Jukebox Jenne, Great video sir.

Is that a Kentucky KM-150?

Hi Eddy, thank you so much for this easy to pick up and understand how to play along with any music. I'm new to mandolin playing and love your easy way of teaching.

Brilliant!!!! Confidence builder for sure. Thank you for a great tutorial

Pretty useless going that fast without showing the actual chords and all that fancy dancing on the fingerboard.

What a great lesson thank you!

Thanks for this lesson. Skip a fret simplifies the whole fretboard. Many thanks!

I am excited to take the mado out for a bit and try this. As a side note, on the advice of a learned to store the pieces I am not using all the time tuned two steps down. What he did not tell me is how playable things are tuned down that far, and how crazy good they sound. Given this is "keyless", give it a shot if you too keep your toys tuned down.

Great lesson wish you would show more of the chord positions one finger at a time, rather than all the fancy running around the fingerboard. It is impressive but tough to follow.

Mate, your two videos would have to be the most epic revelations regarding soloing on stringed instrument I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing such invaluable knowledge.

Awesome!!

Great lesson thank u!!!❤

Thank you for this

This unlocked a lot of stuff for me to think about. I am still too new to shoot for this yet, but it will help with some fundamentals and I can circle back when I'm ready. Thanks!

Wow!! You just opened a new door for me. Thank You, Thank You!!

Incredible

Great mando tips/ knowledge..thanks for sharing man 😎

Super

I m a very new to learning mandolin. Requesting you to provide the tab details for skip a fret pattern

This is very informative. Thanks for sharing. I'm a guitarist who is learning banjo and mandolin. I'm preparing to teach my granddaughter mandolin and this will be something I show to her after she learns basic note and chord positions. Have a great day!

This is literally the most useful video I’ve ever watched on the mandolin. I had such a hard time learning how to play in different keys.

yes !! what an ah ha moment .. Thank you !!!

Where do you find the tab

oh yeah now I get it!!!!!!

Just learning how to play and this is really helpful. A fellow at a jam session I've been going to every week now has been talking about the scale and how useful it is. The skip a fret idea makes it easy to remember. I never took music theory so this is all pretty new to me.

good stuff. thanks so much. solid gold man!

Well, golly mister Peabody, so that's how it is done! Thanks for the lesson, be looking for more. Had me one of those AH SO moments...

Nice, thanks

I have no idea what I am doing with my mandolin, but thanks to you it sounds great. Grateful. Stay safe and happy.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I learned more from you than anyone! Must have been the Amazing Grace 😃

That's great stuff - you're unlocking my guitar head!

Another good video

Love this video

I started playing mandolin a few months ago. I felt like I learned it rather quickly. I could sing with it and I found changing chords came pretty easy, but when it came to playing an intro or a fill or turn around I had just hit a wall. I watched several videos and nothing clicked. Then your skip a fret method totally made sense to me. Thanks for opening up the mandolin for me.

You explained that all very well and kept it simple. Well done in sharing your knowledge .

I bought a mandolin and it gave me a renewed interest in my guitar. I still want to learn the mandolin too!

wow holy shit you made that so simple and it works. thanks! mandolin is the most blackmetal instrument!

And there it is!!

I'm just learning to play. I do play guitar, but have found it very tricky playing lead on the mandolin. That is, up until now! Eddy you have solved the problem and I am thankful ! An excellent lesson. Nova Scotia thanks you!!!

Brilliant! Thanks!

Great lesson Eddy!

Hey Eddy -- it's me, Scott, from kamp. Hope you are well. I just watched this and got a lot out of it! I tune my E course down to D (Celtic stuff, you know) but it still works well enough so long as you stay aware when moving to that course. I'll be going to kamp 2021, which I understand will be significantly adjusted due to covfefe-19. You going? Take care, and thanks for posting this!

Nice! Check out this Collings mandolin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV6bfpuCa5yrqac
