Use This Shape to Level Up Your Bluegrass Mandolin Solos

[@LambertDriveStudios]

christ almighty , I was lost by 0:46 when you said chop shape lol. I've got some work to do, however I just purchased my dream mandolin an Eastman md305 and its inspiring me

[@Bushman9]

This might be the best bluegrass mandolin lesson on KZbin. Thanks David!

At 70 years young and playing around 45 years I really enjoy your content. I started developing problems making my closed chords due to author-I -tist ( my spelling of it ,not wanting to claim it).Even though I have always had a problem playing fast notes in the key of G ,I believe this lesson will help me at my age to finally get this key down pat. It's the same way in "c". Thanks for your knowledge

[@jmtaylorism]

It looks to me like you can do all that boxy stuff without the pinky, right? Glad I have a holiday to practice.

[@Mandolin_Matt]

Great playing! Love the tips - for intermediate players I think a big speed bump is having the some of the skill and imagination to construct solos but not quite having the vocabulary yet. This is a big help!

[@Emmetgriffin9]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@georgerios9615]

What pick are you using?

[@EHarleyGarr-mr3ow]

🍀

[@GregGoodson-me6il]

I'm still trying to figure out if that's Bill Monroe or Uncle June on your t-shirt 🤔

[@stephenhait]

Mandolin players are the glass blowers of the music world. Just saying'.

[@williamfleming892]

Obsessing over the nicest version of a tool that can do the same job as a piece of tin foil? 😂

[@JimmyDeLocke]

Rude stuff, David

[@JamesJessenfedden]

“Voila” not “walla”

[@joshkearns9608]

the biggest level up from the mando is to learn a practical skill you can actually use to make a living

[@Bigboigamerguy]

I hate how this guy calls old time music bluegrass. Bill Munroe didn't come up with this sound or playing

[@purplecow2039]

Shut up "Antwan"

[@Bigboigamerguy]

@@purplecow2039 yes ma'am.
