Simple Arpeggio Improv for Beginning Jamming

[@GarrettMartin-Stupd]

Mind = blown. As a student of KZbin university I want to thank you for teaching me something

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

So glad you connected! Thanks for the kind comments and you are so welcome! 😀🎶

[@jimg8413]

Yes, I did learn something from this video that I wish I had known 50 years ago. Thanks so much.

[@chriszoroch3642]

Nice one, very good lesson. I bought a mando 3 weeks ago, I have played guitar for 40 years and with this simple lesson I can now start playing music and not just playing scales. Thanks (love the cat) 🤘🍺🎸

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Love those Bengals!

[@millerjeff]

Thanks for all of this good practical info. Near the end a couple of times you played a slide with kind of a tremolo. Can you give a lesson on how to do that? Thank you I've got a ton of things to work on.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Very welcome Jeff! I will mark that on a list of topics I’d like to cover, thanks for the suggestion. 😀🎶

[@danstune]

This is a great lessons just to review and learn another way to think. It is helpful to me! Thanks!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

So welcome Dan! Glad you connected / thanks your the kind comments. 😀🎶

With all that traffic noise in the back ground I would swear you live close to 485 during rush hour🤪. Looking forward to future lessons as I am transitioning from guitar to mandolin.

the extreme close up

[@BanjoLemonade]

Nice!

[@greyasday]

Good stuff

[@TerryThompson-q6x]

brilliant

[@f5mando]

Excellent!

[@markoshun]

That was fun. I've been looking for awhile through various channels and can't find the next lesson in this. No one seems to have done a lesson on minor arpeggios, or 7ths. I get you have to start simple, but most songs have a minor or 2.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

You may have learned you can flatten the major third a half step (one fret) to find your minor arpeggio - which would be the second note in the ascending lick taught here. I’d like to give some thought to a follow up video with this, thanks for the comments!

[@markoshun]

@@ChrisHenryVideos Yes, thanks. Your follow up lesson to this mentioned that, so I'm going through the common minors I need all the time, and closed positions so I can do it on the fly. I figure the 7ths will work the same way, will try that next. Still seems like there's room for an in-between lesson that spells it out. Took me a fair bit of searching. Thanks for doing this, great stuff.

Drive that mandolin highway!

[@JamesSmith-mc1lg]

How do you achieve the volume from your mandolin?

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

The mandolin itself has excellent projection and I also often aim to pick the strings in a way that inspires the top to vibrate a lot. There is a decent amount of mechanical force happening.
