How to Use Mandolin Arpeggios to Create Harmonies!

[@imamathguy]

I took piano lessons as a kid and never realized what arpeggios were for... If only there had been some mention of harmony application. This is really helpful for me learning the mandolin, and it was a great introduction to your videos. I will be watching more. Thank you!

Thank you!

[@LoboBranco1985]

thanks Banjo Ben, always a pleasure watch your videos, six months ago I have never even saw a mandolin, cause here in Brazil its not a popular instrument, now thanks to your videos I can play a song or two and improvise in the key of G. sorry about my english!

Technically, it's not a C, but rather a B sharp (in a G# major triad). They are enharmonically equivalent.

Hi Ben, you told us that most of the time in bluegrass people refer to flat keys rather than sharp keys. I was just wondering why that is. Would there be any benefit to that?

[@BanjoBen]

I'm sure there's a proper answer but I'm not confident in what it is. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because the blues notes are used often, which are referred to as flatted notes.

[@gibsonfamily8509]

do you work one on one with people?

[@BanjoBen]

Rarely do I have time, sorry :)

[@gibsonfamily8509]

no worries. I have zero musical experience and need some one on one to really get this down. thanks. shalom.
