Music Theory For Mandolin - Part 1: Notation

A new series on music theory for mandolin! This first episode we are talking notation. There is an accompanying worksheet on my Patreon that will help with this lesson: / jakehowardmusic
Throughout this course I plan on taking us through the music theory that I learned with my time with Berklee and tailoring it to mandolin players. We will start basic with notation and rhyme and work our way up to things like chord modulation and analysis.

This is superb. I’m fairly new to music theory and this slices and chops right through the fog and makes it all clear. I don’t see a part two. Consider me someone who’s begging for it. Thank you.

Honestly, as someone who loves to cook and recently had a mandolin given to me a few days ago, this was fun to watch, and listen to. I played violin when I was a child/teen, but my ability to read music has gotten rusty. Thanks for creating this fun video.

I love this video format! Very interesting, casual, and informative!

Thanks for the kind comment. I'm going to try and film another one of these next week, any food rec's are greatly appreciated 😂

There's something wrong with this lesson - it's not at all confusing! Thank you so much for that, Jake. Great idea, brilliantly executed

[@JakeHoward]

Not going to lie, you had me there in the first half.. There is more coming down the pipeline soon! Thanks for the nice compliment.

I have a little theory from attempting a community college course 10+ years ago but I never could read music without it being like deciphering cryptology but I got a book about sight reading by Pete Seeger from the 70s and after working through it bits at a time I'm now translating a bluegrass hit kicks for fiddle book from 1984 into tab for my own use, the act of translating it into tab and playing it when reading it is helping me understand reading it exponentialy. This video series seems geared to someone like me. I long to be able to look at a sheet of notes and be able to hear it in my mind. I'm already seeing the benefits to tab in the pattern recognition. Dunno what I'm trying to say, except thanks

That was a lot... of garlic.

Does this guy look like George Harrison or what?
