Hi John, I love these mandolin tutorials. I'm just starting out on the mando, do you offer any virtual lessons?

[@jcurtis30water]

Thanks Samantha. I do offer online lessons. If you are interested, contact me at: [e-mail]. Welcome to the mandolin family. Aside from being a pain to tune, it’s a great instrument!

[@JoseGonzalez-pz2qq]

Great video! I’m a real newbie I would like to know the strum pattern for the chords.

[@jcurtis30water]

If I’m just strumming the chords, I’ll play down on a low note ( usually the low G) on the first beat then down down up down up. So, all together it’s: down down down up down up, count 1, 2, 3&, 4&. Hope this helps
