[@jocelynallen6591]

I’m a kid and I love these lessons! So entertaining and informative, I’ve only been on for a day and I know my three cords, two rythems, and lots more! Thank you so much for stopping my mandolin collect dust! I’m so excited to finally play my aunts awesome mandolin and make my whole family proud of me! Thanks again!!!

[@s3thjcks0n14]

How’s it going?

[@oskariluhtala7812]

Just got my great grandfathers old mandolin. Lucky to have people like you teaching. So wholesome and warm. Big thankyou!

In southern part of India, we call these tunes as SA RI GA MA PA DA NI SA, n reverse SA NI DA PA MA GA RI SA. It's known as Carnatic music which has centuries old tradition. These are notes the you played on G and D strings. Amazing how music is connected across the world. Your channel is very helpful for mandolin learners

More like the entire india tho, and that's Dha not da,

Is there an instrument kind of like a mandolin that has the same range? I would love to get good enough to play along with my favorite Khamaal Hasaan movies.

[@outlawliteratureart1887]

Baren, I am learning so much so quickly Its like I feel like halfway through the lesson I felt like I was never going to get it but you're so mellow & the construction of your teaching so progressively comprehensible that by the end of the lesson I've got it down & now I'm being somewhat innovative with what I've learned I'm playing more by feel Gosh, I love this instrument Thank you, brother

[@kdleon2002]

You are my kind of teacher. Very clear, patient and professional. Thank you!!

[@JJ-iy6nz]

A really valuable lesson here - I'm a Complete Beginner to Strings having learned to play an old foot bellows organ by ear and heart. (Yes!, I've moved forward since those days!!). I've great appreciation therefore for listening to the tone and ring of strings and feel this so important for everyone who plays an instrument. Thank you for all your work to help others.

I've been learning the octave mandolin but this channel has been a big help.

[@crazymangaming9679]

Getting my first mandolin tomorrow afternoon so thank you in advance for these lessons!!

[@pedrohernandez7964]

I recently purchased the Rogue RM-100A Mandolin fromfuitar center and I just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I feel like I’m learning faster from your videos than I would anywhere else.

[@RVsbladesnthangs]

I've been playing mandolin for 2 years now... just now learned this. Excellent warm up exercise and hopefully it will help develop an ear to learn by

[@marniejohnson6592]

Thanks so much. Will keep tuning in!

I believe I've found my teacher. Been trying to learn from a book; it's just not the same.

[@brenp9435]

Thank you so much for making these videos, I'm loving my mandolin!

[@jameswhisenant6657]

My grandson is just beginning and he is enjoying the lessons.

[@alexkirkman5981]

Thanks for your lessons, they have helped me so much

[@allanmiller6897]

Best videos of the mandolin yet. The problem with some is they don't take into consideration the size of the neck plus strings so close together. The angles if some are very confusing if you don't know the name of the chords. However your videos show posture and physical technique.

[@snowbike8032]

Your lessons are amazing! Thank you! I see that you have what looks like an arm guard for your right forearm. Can you tell me how to find one of these and what kind it is? My right arm gets sore from the corner. Thank you

[@dinithihashari8538]

Thank you ❤️‍

[@lioneladams2442]

Really enjoying the way you teach....😎

[@georgevossler9672]

Easy to understand! Thank you!

[@salithrangana]

Very clear lessons ,thankyou

[@mellio9077]

Thank you so much for your videos. I would like something even more basic like how to hold the pick, and how to press the strings so that they make a clear sound. also how to pick individual strings versus strumming, and different methods of doing it. and how to use different kinds of picks.

[@davidbaird1898]

You have a great teaching style!

[@73sweetmantis]

What do you do if your fingers are too short to reach the frets? I'm having a hard time with reach and I have arthritis and neuropathy so I'm using learning to play as therapy for my hands & mind. I honestly can't thank you enough for these amazing lessons!! I am afraid that the bridge on my mandolin is a little high so I need to take it into a shop to have it looked at. It's a lot higher than the action on my electric guitar (Which i never learned totally either because of my hands).

[@richellmcknight446]

When you are running the scales, use your fingers all in a row, one per fret, it's a lot easier. He's showing the G scale using index, middle, ring ,--- try using index, ring, pinkie( on the G and D strings- index, middle, pinkie on the A and E strings)- on the G&D you are skipping the fret your middle finger would naturally be on, so don't use that finger. Once you place your index finger, each finger will play each fret in order, I hope that makes sense- guys forget us girls have shorter fingers, lol, but I play piano , guitar, and cello, and finger position is a big thing, no matter what instrument you're playing! Also, if you want to fix your pain, numbness, and hand issues, go low carb, grain/ sugar free, and you will have AMAZING results! I did Whole 30( with no fruit), 2 years ago, to fix my high blood sugar( I refused meds), and in the FIRST WEEK my fasting sugar dropped from 125 to 80! Day 5, I woke up with no pain! By 2 wks in, the numbness in my hands was almost GONE! I decided to stay grain/ sugar free, and learned about low carb, and how damaging high insulin levels are! I was told by 3 docs that I had carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, and probably arthritis, when all I had was a HUGE amount of inflammation due to high sugar and insulin levels! I rotate now between low carb, keto, and carnivore, I've lost 100 lbs, feel better than I have in 20 years, got off all my meds, blood sugar is normal, and no pain or numbness in my hands unless I screw up and overeat sugar or carb food! Please try it, it sure saved my life and made it worth living! Go listen to Dr Ken Berry, Dr Eric Berg, Dr Jason Fung, and the many other low carb, keto people on you tube, it will change your life!😘😁💖

Just bought a mandolin and never played in fifths but this channel is great.

[@annilala3154]

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!!!

[@pageluvva]

Simple, well explained and played, well shot etc etc. If only all the lessons were like this. Many thanks.

[@siddharthabanerjee963]

Very nice 👍

[@copokitapo]

I'd suggest naming the notes as you go through the scale. I believe it will help us beginners better learn the fret board. Thanks

Man's can play the g scale wrong on purpose. What a legend

[@elvirafaelrierapinango6621]

Good you

[@JJ_TheGreat]

1:58 I am confused. Is there a lesson I missed regarding HOW to actually play scales - what our fingers are supposed to look like - shape-wise, etc.? Do we KEEP our previous finger on the last fret along with the new finger, or just move the next finger in sequence along, to REPLACE the previous one? Are we going strictly along the G string - or is this like the pentatonic scale exercises which I was given when I took guitar lessons, in which we have to go up and down various strings in a shape - like 1 3 4, etc.?

[@lil_horsegirl2415]

I'm doing the same thing he's doing but it still doesn't sound right and I made sure it was tuned. Is it just because I've just started?

[@jstiles634]

Good, but why did you not identify what each note is in the G major scale?

[@maryherje7120]

Baron, Any advice on where to buy a decent beginner mando? Thank you.

[@terrancat]

local music shops. #BuyLocal. His website has a link to one that's around $350.

[@timkennedy1192]

Mary, I am sure you have your mandolin by now, but for others, I want to say that my experience with Elderly Instruments was very positive. While I too prefer to shop local, most guitar shops have few if any mandolins. I think that Baron gives good advice. for a starter set up.

[@stephendurfee7646]

[@jjohn2086]

I don't know u would read this or someone would notice this I have some problems In my mandolin, On G string,where 3rd finger on 5th fret, doesn't make any sound like my ear kinda know it's a wrg note. So I tried going to 6th fret,that does kinda sound right to me. My mandolin is from my grandpa.he made it himself. So I don't know what to do now. I hope someone notice this fast :((

[@jjohn2086]

Should I just go with 6th fret? My hand would have some trouble but I can try

[@vickithekoshercarnivore6565]

I thought I was doing pretty good until this lesson, I cannot see what you’re doing, I can’t see where you’re putting your fingers. I wish you had diagrams, I just want to cry 😢 😭

Hi, could you please do a lesson on how to play what child is this? Would really appreciate it.
