Thank you very much! I can see myself referring back to this video, as I progress on my mandolin journey. (I just bought a mandolin, so I am a beginner - but I had taken guitar lessons for 2 months, so I know the basics for this type of string instrument. It is nice to see how to move the shapes)!

[@enjpa5001]

This is really great. It's especially helpful for guitarists who are accustomed to bar chords for major, minor, and 7th chords.

[@elijahchesterthomas5334]

Very helpful video. Thank you very much from across the universe

[@karengozra5092]

Well presented, can actually see clearly the chords you are playing and it helps to have the chord chart to.

Brilliant lesson,Jackson - thank you so much!

[@jyotirmoykataki2131]

This is one of the best lessons explaining both major and minor chords in mandolin in a very easy ,clear and simple way. Thanks alot. I would like to request you to kindly show us chords like G7, F#minor etc. and Chop chords in the same easy and simple way. Thanks again

[@elba9066]

I like your term "pointer finger" it is really helpful. I hope you'll do some more short lessons. They are very informative

[@jemmermusic]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad the videos are helpful. Yes, I'll make a few more over the winter. Have a great time playing!

[@johnrochester3551]

Mr. Emmer, thank you for such a clear and well presented video. I finally got a mandolin after searching for years, and it was really nice to learn some basics from your vidoes, and I look forward to more :)

[@podoclaste]

Crystal clear and man, I started off with a ukulele thinking it was easy, now I know I'll go for a mandolin. And try to remember both, picking and strumming. Thank you so much.

[@baepunkh5732]

Interesting lessons Mr. Emmer.

[@frankylangrell9612]

First and only video I'll need to watch. I was afraid I would have to wait before performing.

[@jemmermusic]

Thank you, Frank. Have fun playing.

[@frequenstein]

thx!!!!!! a lot Jackson

[@Musicpanel-cg6lv]

so thnx my dear friend. so nice

[@anubispup4760]

Apparently bar chords are going to be a dosey for me, I have NO idea how to make one finger maintain an even pressure on four strings. So cudose I suppose, from my very limited point of view, that's very impressive.

[@thepadenshow1945]

thanks for this video i just for one and i got a lot out of this video.

[@jemmermusic]

Thanks, I'm happy to hear that. Play on!

[@NicoleSenaEvans]

Just found you! Thank you thank you thank you! This video I found to be way harder than the C/D/G chord video!😂 So I will be watching this one over and over and over! You are a fantastic teacher! After less than three minutes I knew 3 chords!🙏🏻❤️🎶 I have just been reunited with a mandolin in my family since the 1940s! Eager to be best friends with it now! Looking forward to your future mandolin lessons!

[@jemmermusic]

Hi Nicole, thanks for watching and yes, these chords are more difficult than the open G, C, and D, but they're pretty useful and fun once you get used to them. Thanks again! Enjoy playing!

[@alvaroporter4584]

Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!

@Alvaro Porter instablaster =)

[@alvaroporter4584]

@Kylo Nikolai I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@alvaroporter4584]

@Kylo Nikolai It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@baepunkh5732]

I would love to learn how to tune mandolin sir.

[@j.m.s.7418]

hi, When you play the A chord does your pointer finger bars the four strings or just the second and third ones? Thanks

[@jimtaylor4488]

Thanks for this. I just started playing but have a left hand issue that does not allow me to be able to grasp the traditional chop cords. I’ve been looking for something like this for alternative cord fingering so I can really start to focus on learning them. I’ve really been floundering around until now with playing cords.

[@jemmermusic]

Happy to hear the video is helpful- have fun pickin!

[@daohikhng4270]

Best

[@jyotirmoykataki2131]

Which nuts are best for mandolin as far as sound reproduction is concerned, Cowbone or deer bone?
