Thanks Mike. Guitar player here. Just bought our first mando yesterday, an Eastman 505. Came to your videos to learn some theory and technique but I have to be honest. I spent most of this time zooming my computer in on that work of art you are playing on. That old Gibby is so beautiful! You're a lucky man indeed.

Awesome. Thanks Mike, really helpful. Being drums were my first instruments, I totally got the concept.

Thank you for doing this video! That's a nice mandolin. I have The Loar and a Vangoa. I have a very hard time because I have short fingers.

Nice lesson, and great sounding old Gibson

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

I use Thomastik Infeld Precision Strings which have half as much tension of an average String set to make this easier

nothing better than free lessons from legends! Thanks Mike!

Blue grass has never really caught my attention, I got a mandolin because I always wanted to play jazz and the violin was not as useful for chords. This is very interesting though, I noticed how you can transfer the shape of many chords throughout the finger board but this shape of the hand is really cool, I need to learn this just to have it in my box of techniques.

Mr Marshall - excellent video! Just learning my " Monroe chop". You make it easy for an old funk bass player sir, which is alot of bass ackwards! THANK YOU!

I don't think my hand will ever do that cord

[@cfcolly]

Ive been playing guitars for 10 years, and I can't make that shape

I know he does a different shape for the willow tree A chord, he’s got hands like Hendrix lol
