Thanks Emma. Great video. I've been playing octave mandolin for about 6 months. I've been trying to play it just like a regular mando but these chord voicings make a lot of sense and are really pretty

Thanks

very useful thank you :)

Congralations for managing to open the stand without looking or using instructions

3:09 Based on what I heard from violin (and no, I don’t play - just happened to come across some videos)… Is 3rd position.

Is this a Weber "Bridger"?

Well broken out! Thank you!

I play a standard mandolin and thinking of an Octave, where I live the Gold tone is available but I'm looking at an Eastman, do you have a recommendation an Eastman or Goldstone?

Other than the black flashes, which were VERY irritating, what a great video. You are extremely talented and a real pleasure to watch and listen to.

Great job.

Seems like as a guitar player I would be best off to start with an Octave then move to the Mandolin once I understand the scales and chording.

Outstanding! You are such an accomplished musician. Bravo.

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT YOUNG LADY. IT TOUCHED MY HEART. IF JOHN DENVER WAS ALIVE IM SURE YOU WOULD HAVE TOUCHED HIS ALSO.

Love your beautiful smile!!❤

Great stuff! This, along with the Jethro Shapes, helps quite a bit.

Good review Emma. Very thorough.

Thank you Emma! Very clear tutorial! I've just been offered my octave mandolin (I'm a banjo player), you'll be my teacher!

This was great

I love the sound of that octave mandolin. I want one now. lol. Thanks for sharing your talent and Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!

So nice of you to give us this Christmas present :-) Merry Christmas !!

What a beautiful tune,love the mandolin and the girl

I learned Fisher's 1979 it was in key of F, its easier D...you tube did not exist. irony is that it is played in a reel meter not hornpipe meter, its frisky nonetheless

bouzouki is easier to acquire now since internet you tube came about.

Very inspiring Emma. The addition of the open strings is a nice touch, especially when picking the strings separately. I can hear some potential for writing some new tunes with all this information you've laid out. Many thanks! JB

thank you for the easy explanation I needed this

Very helpful. Thank You Emma

I just fall in love.

Great stuff Emma! I have watched a LOT of mandolin teachers online. You are among the best! Keep going ... you should have so many more subscribers! Your info is so beneficial and well presented! Thank you!

I appreciate your very detailed explanations. Much appreciated. Good job.

Beautiful Emma, keep worshiping

thanks for this helpful tip

Hello Emma and thanks for sharing your knowledge!!! By the way, It would be possible in your arpeggios fingering to use the pinky instead of the ring finger? I come from the classical guitar world and I wonder if there is any reason to avoid using the pinky. Again, good job!!!

Do you have this in notation? I just downloaded Away in a Manger from your site and would definitely do the same with this if it did indeed end up there.

I just bought your sheet music, commented and I don't see my comment.... Beautiful job, I wish you all the success!

"Ніч яка місячна зоряна ясная " можете ?

Sounds great!!!

Wow!

Beautiful Emma❤

Lovely arrangement and playing. Put me in that Christmas mood :-) Thank you As a kid we used to sing 2 versions of this song (different melodies). Just purchased the sheet music from your web site. Merry Christmas :-)
