[@brandonvanbrocklin9239]

Coming from a guitar background I was recently intrigued with mandolin I have no idea on cords or anything you just helped me out with those three chords I'm already having fun. thanks 👍

[@jemmermusic]

Play on, dude!

[@Eger7law011]

Jackson, Thank you. Enjoy the simplicity of your lesson with the fret string diagrams to verify. Wailing on it now.

[@trackie1957]

My first touch of a mandolin, and now I can play God knows how many songs. Thank you!

[@Eren-tj6ql]

Thanks man! Exactly what I was looking for :)

[@gennytrickett1580]

Thanks just picked up a mandolins. Always loved the sound

[@lowellirish]

Thanks! I just got a LOAR in vintage brown. The perfling on it is gorgeous Well made, like an Eastman 305!

[@Steven-u5w]

Yes I can relate to the chord shapes. I was looking the other week and I was really surprised how much you can carry over from acoustic guitar to mandolin and also banjo. I'm thinking of buying birth and mandolin and a banjo

[@guitarbenn58]

I see John Prine on the wall behind you. Great songwriter he was.

[@jemmermusic]

Yup, he's unbelievable. I've been playing his music more, mourning his passing.

Very helpful! Thank you! I've just purchased my first mandolin and I can't wait to learn to play it! I play guitar so it's a bit hard to switch to these chord formations and not jump back to the guitar ones. Such a cool sounding instrument though! It's going to be fun to learn!

@@jemmermusic Thanks! Shall try next week. There is one used instrument with 4 times 3 strings in a music shop which closed down. Either take that or order a new one in Germany. Can you recommend one for a beginner? I play already different string instruments as beginner and began also with violin which has same names of the strings like Mandoline and that may help. Also have guitars with 6 and 12 Strings and Ukuleles. so it should not too difficult to learn Mandoline. Greetings from Germany

are there any 3 finger chords?

[@folkmusician2012hurricanewv]

Hello Jackson, I am Folk musician and songwriter Lane Cohen! Nice to meet you! How are you?

[@MrGMawson2438]

Hello my name is Graeme and I'm from the UK

[@Steven-u5w]

Would you recommend fisherman's pickups for a mandolin?

[@jemmermusic]

I've never used a Fishman for mandolin... I recommend a K&K Mandolin Twin + an LR Baggs Venue DI... you will get great, useable tone, in every venue, every time. You've got to learn to use the DI/EQ though. Blending it with a mic whenever possible is also good, but the K&K does a decent job on it's own.

[@klaas5282]

Why do you mute the E string when strumming a C chord? The note e is the major third of C major.

[@micahflanders6789]

Conveniently with this video alone, I can now play the shugabush island song from my singing monsters. (I know it’s actually a cover of “love or money” by Kristan Bush, but that’s besides the point)

[@jemmermusic]

Shred on, Micah, shred on.

[@eyesawyeah5504]

Do you mute the pair of E strings together or just the thicker E string when you play the C chord?

[@manipularsilver]

You've probably figured it out by now, but if anyone else is wondering, you'd mute both. He's referring to the doublets of strings as a single string, as they're the same note in the same octave on a mandolin.

[@RaeleyWatson]

Hello Jackson! Thank you for this video! I subscribed to you. I play piano, guitar, and ukulele. I have yet to buy my first Mandolin. Do you have a few suggestions for a first one? I like the f style but want to stick to at or under $100 for my beginner. I appreciate any guidance you have.

[@jemmermusic]

Hi Raeley, thanks for watching my videos. Buying a beginner mandolin for $100 can be done, but it's not usually a great idea... Mandolins aren't as popular as guitars, and thus, it costs more to produce each one because they're not built to the same production scale as guitars. A $100 guitar can be ok, and will last several years. A $100 mandolin is generally unplayable, won't stay in tune, and will make for an unpleasant experience as a beginner. If you can find a used mandolin for $300-500, I think you'll be better off. It will play better (lower action, better tone, hold a tune), and it will hold it's value, so if you ever decide to re-sell it, you're more likely to get your money back. Sweetwater has mandolins like this Epiphone for $200-ish, but I wouldn't recommend them. 5-10 years ago, these mandolins cost $80-100 and they weren't great. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EF30ASGH--epiphone-mm-30s. - - Maybe look for something like this: www.mandolincafe.com/ads/191067#191067 - - - - or this: www.elderly.com/products/the-loar-honey-creek-f-style-mandolin?variant=26856112029760&currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjw852XBhC6ARIsAJsFPN1T5i27aq9UOvSwqDF6_betETAZSDoo05SfBQDkT_vLQxyQiY6ajDwaAo16EALw_wcB - - Good luck! Have fun playing.

Why mute the E string when playing a C chord? E is the major 3rd of Cmajor

[@jemmermusic]

Hi Klaas, yes, E is the major 3rd of C and it could work in the chord. It just depends on the inversion you want to play. They each have a different sonic flavor. It's just a matter of preference. Have fun playing!

[@ianferguson3543]

same as the guy below. Guitar to mandolin

[@manipularsilver]

I cannot for the life of me play the D chord with my pointer finger and middle, I typically have to use middle and ring. I also have issues with accidentally muting strings, which may come from my bassist background where the hand is walking around the fretboard and accidental muting of other strings is usually fine.

[@jemmermusic]

Howdy HaffTonne. Playing the mandolin usually requires a different hand/wrist angle than guitar or bass. Take a look at this video, and skip to 1:55 for the info about hand angle. The slight shift in angle changes how your fingers approach the frets, and can help them stay out of the way of open strings. Have fun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYiqlGh8ab2nh7c

[@manipularsilver]

@@jemmermusic Very helpful, thank you! I've been practicing jumping from chord to chord (the whole 3 that I know) to increase accuracy and speed.

[@KTLBT]

Ever notice how mandolin chord shapes are the same as guitar just upside down?
