A whole year worth of mandolin lessons in a little over 10 minutes!!!

[@jowoods5108]

Aww legend, 10 mins, i love a vid that u have to pause to catch up, rather than waiting for 5 mintue ramble before the next step. Boss!

[@dianeferre1273]

Its time I learned to play the mandolin. I have decided to buy myself a mandolin & private lessons. Ive never touched a stringed instrument. I love the sound of a mandolin. Im so excited to learn & enjoy it.

[@f5mando]

Excellent! Welcome to the club!

[@rivett310]

My take: this was a perfect explanation to me. I slowed the speed down on the video and I could find my finger placement at a pace I could follow. I love it and I thank you. Please keep up the help, this old gal appreciates you🌺

[@raskolnikov3799]

I don’t play Mandolin, but coming from guitar this seems similar to a lot of the little mind-blow moments I had learn over time. Really informative video, it’s awesome to have so many actually useful ‘tricks and tips’ compiled

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Thanks!!! This is my first video with over a thousand views, I’m happy to help.

[@CharlieHurd-vc4xz]

Tyrel, you are such a king.

[@FryingBurritoBro]

Thank you from a fellow Texan (Fort Worth)...as a guitarist coming to the mandolin (couple months of playing)...this is very helpful brother!

[@dekelsey1]

Great share! Thank you very much! ❤ I love the mandolin but never had a lesson. This video info will sky rocket my time spent learning. Bless you man!

[@kevincozens6837]

As someone interested in Bluegrass music I would add the four finger chop chord to the mix. It is a tough stretch of the fingers compared to the chord shapes in this video but it is also a moveable shape. If you move the shape up one pair of strings and play the upper (A, D, G) strings you can move that shape up and down the neck. Move one finger back a fret for all the minors. Switch two fingers between the two middle strings for 7th chords.

[@Mr-Sinister]

X-Men fan AND playing Mandolin. Now that's just Prime! Subscribed in a heartbeat

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Absolutely!!!!

[@calvinbishop8292]

Amazing video! Just what I needed as a beginning mandolin player

[@joshuawalker4607]

We thank you sir🙏🏾💪🏾

[@Shakewood]

Thank you for the lessons dude! That will help a little more to get the mandoline ready for some tune on the second album! Cheers 🤜🤛

[@ZaneHuffaker-hh9rm]

Not a year's worth of learning, but maybe a year's worth of searching! I understand bar cords much better now!

[@deepfriedrye9352]

Thank u very much for this video! I recently picked up a wicked nice 1914 Gibson A1 but I’m a guitar player since a teen. Now at 51 I’m looking to pick up mandolin as everyone I know plays guitar. This was gr8 info man!!!

[@basenmusic3399]

Simple. short. very informative. Thanks a lot!

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the heads up!

[@MichelleHertzfeld]

This is great, thank you! I've been learning mandolin for a few years now as my first string instrument. This reminds me that I've got to get my pinky finger into the game -- it's been hanging out essentially doing nothing, the freeloader 😆

[@georgehowell5877]

Might as well chop it off...NO NO NO....JUST KIDDING.........Use It, bro.......

[@philipg6117]

You’re the man! Thank you!

[@podthesod]

I got the same Gretsch mando … nice woody sound ..not too shrill .. My absolute favourite of my half dozen.

[@AnAngryGnat]

Thanks for the video, learned a few new tricks.

[@jorisArt]

So cool and convenient! Thanks!

[@elizabethholloway3244]

So cool! Very helpful! Thank you so!

[@santiagocooley8194]

I don’t even have a mandolin

[@FieryDragon95]

This is just what i needed holy

[@olegoleg1838]

The best ways to learn all this all by training your ear are the apps ‘Mandolin Scales by Ear’ and ‘Mandolin Chords by Ear’

[@georgehowell5877]

Wow..Thanks T.C., for this...I think it'll help me out a bunch...I can't play my A-style right now, but I'll be back soon!! Cool, Buddy.....George

[@rvsbladesnthangs]

I'll have to try these

[@Ezguitarpick]

Good lesson. Easy to get a guitar picker going on day 1 on the mandolin. Good job & thanks.

[@tyrelchoat8184]

You bet!

[@blynd4132]

Great video and I don’t even play mandolin

[@thewayofyeshua9384]

Awesome!!! Thank you 💕

[@therickroller2358]

Ill be sure to remember i watched this video the next time im at guitar center and i see a mandolin and i will not be able to find it or remember anything i learned but i will atleast attempt to bc thats the only place i think i might use this

[@m0j0b0ne]

This is really good stuff; I have huge hands so there's really only three major chords in first position that I can comfortably fret. So cool to have 12 majors and minors in two different inversions/registers! One niggle; this'd be a lot easier to hear if you'd recorded it indoors, in a quiet space.

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Thanks, I will make better videos in the future. Glad you liked it.

[@weimingong3654]

Waiting for my mandolin to arrive, perhaps I can learn to play it from this video

[@toasty_369]

Thanks dude🤘🏼

[@jimholmes341]

Thanks this is great!

[@terrellovett4940]

Thank man that very helpful

[@DubKicker101]

The algorithm brought me here

[@Ethan-ob8nl]

Same bro video any good before I watch?

[@abebeaku8369]

Algorithm brought us into this world, algorithm will take us out

[@f5mando]

Ty: For that A major/minor chord, a single finger double stop is less strenuous (for the fretting hand) than a barre across all the strings. It is also unnecessary, as the other two pairs will be noted at higher frets anyway. Hope this helps.

[@murphmurph2124]

Yes good point but barring could set you up for your next cord or single note a scale

[@mgmtrace1]

Very useful video. Thank you. 👍

[@brianwebber6476]

Really useful, thanks.

[@scotttaylor8897]

Bro great video. Thanks man

[@tyrelchoat8184]

You bet

[@earlpredy6623]

Great stuff. Had learned a few chords but the minors eluded me. This fills in some gaps ... Thanks

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Thanks, glad to help!!!

[@mrneil2]

Brilliant thank you

[@Idocmanthey]

Thanks made it easy

[@kattenihatten]

Maybe I should get a mandolin ...🤔

[@ghead2625]

Nice city connect hat

[@e.elsibea1518]

@tyrel choat How do I rewind? I have a question about rewind.

[@sargentseabass]

Wonder if SLAYER ever considered using the mandolin on any songs? What would Kerry Kings signature model look like???? Love ya buddy!!!

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Tribal with a whammy bar

[@mtcharts]

Tyrel. Thank you for the mando lesson. I'm replay a number of times so the chord progression sinks in.

[@darrylreaume590]

Do you have anything like this for seven cords?

[@DerekDrockWallauer]

THX BRO***3

[@farrenscott]

I know this is a real or video. I'm hoping you are monitoring. Can you provide a chord diagram for the 2 shapes?

[@jamiemorgan4146]

I’m a pro guitar player. I’ve had a mandolin in the past, but had to sell when times got ruff. It really gave me lots of musical ideas. I thought about tuning it like a guitar. Any thoughts on this? Benefits, Negatives ? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@MrSF247]

I wonder how the strings would do with the altered tensions since mandolins are usually tuned to 5ths and guitars to 4ths with a 3rd mixed in. You could probably get away with tuning it to 4ths like the 4 bottom strings of a guitar (or like a bass) and tune the 4th course up a whole step (G to A), leave the 3rd course alonen (D), and tune the 2nd and 1st courses down two whole steps each (A to F; E to C). Unless there are different gauge strings available for mandolins that could handle the adjustments to make it like the top 4 strings of a guitar, I'd avoid that route. Because from the standard tuning, you'd have to tune the 2nd course up a whole step (1 tone), the 3rd course up 5 half steps and the 4th course down 5 half steps. That's quite a jump. To tune it like the top 4 strings of a guitar, you might as well just get an ukulele.

[@jamiemorgan4146]

hmmmmm

[@JulieStarlingMusic]

Jamie, Gold Tone has 6 and 12 string mando guitars in guitar tuning.

[@f5mando]

I don't advise guitar tuning. It will ultimately limit you. The ideas you will get and other benefits from standard tuning are immeasurable.

[@markoshun]

Seconding what others have said, much better off getting a guitar mando, or a uke.

[@patrick4625]

🙏

[@Headcrab-bz1tk]

I knew all of this with teaching myself in one week I’m trying to get post this point though

[@brockwilliams6250]

Here for the peagle

[@thecoastergnome8603]

i'm having trouble properly baring. idk why it just does not sound right. I have never played an instrament and have been playing mandolin for a few weeks

[@JordanSheppardMusic]

That will get better with time and practice. Don't give up!

[@ginoam5725]

I will probably never use anything I have learned here but I now have the power to

[@bob-rogers]

Thanks!

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Welcome!

[@jimmyhughes924]

Thank you so much for this valuable lesson but you would even sound better if you re-produced this but your instrument (especially a mandolin) needs to be absolutely perfectly tuned and you have a couple that are not particularly on the top end. I thins the toughest string to tune and keep in tune is the 'A' string. I am constantly adjusting to tune perfectly. The mando just sounds magic in tune, but out of tune is not as pleasant as it should be. Always show your inst=rumnet the respect to be perfectly tuned. You are obviously well versed in theory but need to improve tuning. As a bonus, .......You'll like your instrument even more. thanks

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

A year? Really?

[@eaglethefox]

All of the twelve chords is very very wrong to say

[@pablo6305]

You are the best teacher iv ever seen. Im gonna make so much fucking noise. My ketucky thats made in china gives you a th 3:08 ank you as well. Hats off your teaching days are on there way. Yee haw molllafallas. Thanks buddy helped me alot.

[@tyrelchoat8184]

Thank you so much, glad I could help!!!

[@blubberbooty]

do you know what note you would get if you dropped a piano down a mine shaft? A FLAT MINOR! Get it? I crack myself up sometimes!
