Question Would a mandolin chord book help? Thanks Mrs Sheridan Sometimes after playing chords I find my single note are doubled I play 2 strings not sure if I should wait to learn chords. Any tricks to go back to single notes ? I switch from folk to classical to broadway tunes and Christmas songs

[@markgilbertarevalo2703]

So you are playing the 1st and 5th of the chords? Am I right? Thanks.

[@stephensheridan93]

Hi Could you send me the names of the fiddlers to listen to New to bluegrass music Thanks Mrs Sheridan

[@MitchReedMusicLessons]

All of the names I mentioned can be found in the transcribed post here. mitchreedmusiclessons.com/chords-chords-chords/ Hope that helps!

[@stephensheridan93]

Thank you Is it true I could tune my ukulele to a violin then I could practice violin chords too? Thanks Practicing violin everyday

[@MitchReedMusicLessons]

@@stephensheridan93 Good question. Yes, you could tune your uke like a fiddle to practice chords. Let me know how it goes.

[@stephensheridan93]

Got a new book from my son for a Christmas gift Hal Leonard Christmas Songs Simple arrangements for Piano (the notes are large so it’s easy to see) just reading the notes -

[@greatgreatgrandma]

Mitch is that fiddle tuned up or down , please name the stings for both and are the chords played the same way on both tuned up and tuned down ?

[@MitchReedMusicLessons]

Good questions! Just about all my videos are in Cajun tuning (DGCF), which is one whole step down from Standard tuning (EADG). Check out my post called "Talk About Cajun Tuning" for more on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHS6pqinityWoaM. I also have chord chart at mitchreedmusiclessons.com/fiddle-chord-charts/. If you're tuned Cajun these are the chords you'll want to use. They have the same shapes but different names tuned up to Standard or down to Cajun. For example an A tuned Standard is a G tuned Cajun. Same shape, different name.

[@MitchReedMusicLessons]

One more thing! Check out my video called Seconding at a Cajun Jam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npXUi6CblKdspKM. There's lots of info on chords.

[@ChristacheLaPistache]

May I add a suggestion for getting a feel for the "swing" is to ... dance it! :)

[@MitchReedMusicLessons]

Yes!

[@rebecadhernandez]

Hi! What was the name of the album you listened to as a kid? I couldn't quite understand. Thanks! Lots of great tips for an adult beginner!

[@MitchReedMusicLessons]

rebecadhernandez Hey Rebecca! I don’t remember the exact name of the record, but the two artists names were Octa Clark and Hector Duhon. If you can get a hold of their tracks, you won’t be disappointed. Arrête pas la musique!

[@rebecadhernandez]
