Salutations from Scotland. I never really figured out how to integrate double stops into my solos until you came along with this, and it really clicked! I've been working on it for the last couple of weeks and 'game changer' is no exaggeration. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Yay! I am so glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing!! We came over and played the Scotland bluegrass festival as a family in around 2006 in Guildtown - I remember hearing “thanks for bringing the music back to us!” And we were treated very well. Our Henry line traces back to Aberdeen, other family from Inverness.

No fluff just Great Stuff! I Love your teaching style and clarity. perfectly paced. Thank you so much. This may sound a little weird but " thank you for the peace filled manner in which you teach." Dan in Vesuvius, VA

I love your comments. Cheryl! Thank you so much!! They are making me feel really good - very glad you are connecting with the flow! 🎶🎶😀

[@franklawrence534]

This was the most useful 30 minutes I think I've ever spent on KZbin! Good thing/bad thing I don't have my mandolin here with me so nothing to do but just smile and let it soak in! Brilliant extension of the number system - thank you! Can't wait to get home!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

I appreciate your thoughtful comments so much! Love knowing you connected with it so much! Happy picking Frank! :D

[@stevenkarras3490]

I totally agree!

[@bruceweinberg3061]

Usually suspicious when “game changing” is used, but this lives up to it. After watching many vids, this is the first that made any sense to me at all. Thanks!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Thanks for your comments, Bruce, I feel ya there! And you are so welcome 😀🎶

You're so smart.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

I appreciate the kindness! I was grateful when this nugget landed in the old noggin. 😀

[@joekagerer]

So helpful but so much to unpack, this system will help with fiddle double stops too, Just to start thinking about the interval numbers like the chord numbers it's a great system. One thing that sort of confused me is chords are 1, 3, 5 (simple) but when you're talking about chords in the Nashville Numbers, many songs are 1, 4, 5. These aren't really related but it's something I struggled with. Thanks for this lesson and KZbin gods feeding it to me 😂 New subscription!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Yes! For fiddle too for sure, also be on guitar conceptually too with different fingering of course. - yeah I could have made mention of the 1/3/5 arpeggio notes vs 1/4/5 chords idea, might aim to do that in future presentations. Very welcome and so glad you connected and subscribed - thanks Joe! 😀🎶

[@stpetenickstpetenick9428]

Another fiddler here who found the video very useful. The 1, 3 and 5 refer to the notes of the chord you are playing. If the chord is a G, the one note (root) is the note, G. The Nashville Numbers refer to the Root of the chord played in the song/tune. If you are playing in the key of G, the I chord is a G. the fouth note up on the G scale is the root of your C chord (IV), the Fifth note on the G scale is the root of the D (V).

[@stevewoods2408]

I wish Icould learn as FAST as you teach 😢

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

some of the ground does go by quickly! But luckily there is a pause button (and also variable speed control on YT!)

[@stevewoods2408]

I have not been able to find the variable speed, Have hears others mention it

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

@@stevewoods2408 see if this helps Steve! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/opq9hayfrp6BpLc

[@stevewoods2408]

Thank you, just please understand I sincerely was just bemoaning the fact that I was too slow to keep up and I am sure others like teens are quick and sayin “come on Henry, let’s get on with it”. Truly thank you for all your help. These lessons are excellent.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Very welcome. I feel ya! No worries. I reckon it can be a bit like drinking from a fire hose sometime. Hope more and more lands in a good place with you. 🙂🎶

[@bradbaker4679]

Thanks for the video! What mandolin is that and what pick are you using?

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

very welcome, Brad! It's a 2023 Randy Wood mandolin and I'm not sure what the pick is that I'm using, teardrop shape, fairly thick - one a student accidentally left! :D

[@bradbaker4679]

@@ChrisHenryVideosaw that’s right! It sure sounds good!!

[@josephking6309]

Why are they called double stops

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

because there are two strings being stopped (stopped meaning a desirable tone is produced) by either a fretting finger or the nut

[@brjplummer9415]

Hi Christie. There is a whole lot here packed into this video and you are traveing fast. You are good at what you do but the watcher can't keep up. Need to slow it down and identify where every finger is on in every new position, because it is not possible to se exactly which string or fret you are on from the camera views. I got quite a bit out of it but I know there was more I missed too. Some on screen charts woild help.Thanks for the effort.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

If you like, as you go through the video, you can pause it to work it out, then continue. Glad you got some good things out of it. As you may know, there's not necessarily a one-sized fits all approach to general teaching videos. Some folks might feel it's too fast, others too slow. Often I kinda aim for the middle.
