This lesson is the "light bulb" moment for new mandolin players. Helps you understand how to start beginning to take breaks in any chord. Awesome!!! Thanks

This was extremely helpful! I'm a guitar player crossing over to playing Mandolin full time. I've been struggling with finding that certain pattern that I needed to get some breaks in for other keys, and this was it. You broke it down perfectly. Thank you so much!

Hi Jason. Me too, re: going from guitar to mandolin. Did you find the strings quite tough to fret as there's quite some string tension with such a short neck?

Great video, puts it all together, the chords and the melody line using relative postions. I guess the next step would be to learn where you would move your 'root' finger to find the the fourth and fifth chords, and then finally the move to the 2nd, 3rd and 6 minors. Thanks, really good.

There are several videos like this on youtube which show you how to find the major scale in a closed position, where most of the notes of songs will be found, as we see with "Amazing Grace". The box pattern makes it visually easy to know where to go on the fretboard when playing a solo.

Hi Bob just got an Epiphone Mandobird vii (solid body electric mandolin) And learned a lot from this lesson and the movable chord one also . What mandolin are you playing I know its an F5 .Which is what I'm looking to get in the near future . Figured if I knew how to play one I would know how to judge a good acoustic model . I think i speak for everyone thats seen your lesson to keep them coming . They are very simple and helpful . Thank You

For those asking for a copy of the solo pattern, I will try to post a pdf. In the meantime, I recommend you freeze frame the pattern at the 8:09 mark and draw it up on a mandolin fretboard, which you can find here: jazzmando.com/FretboardTemplate.pdf

Hi sk84fun218. You could carry on from A on the E string by playing he 7th, 9th and 12th frets of the E string and then going back down to the A, if it works for the song you may be doing.

@LukeDayInTheUK12 жыл бұрын
Yes for Aeolian Mode flat 3 and flat 6 but for Dorian Mode you need a normal whole sixth note. Incidently, don't you think "relative minor" is a silly name for the Aeolian Mode. My reason is: all the seven basic modes are related in EXACTLY the same way as relative major/minor; they ALL share the step pattern from the first mode. Am I crazy or is this reasonable thinking???
