Your Mando sound Amazing Sharon i try to collec all of your recordings..there's a lot! Thank so much for this lesson

I have this video as background music for working in the kitchen. Your voice and the mandolin so much accompany and compliment one another. The instructional technique is equally compelling. Hope you plan to attend either the Maryland Acoustical Retreat this year (2018) in June or the one in Olivet MI after that.

[@VinodJadavani]

good

[@bonenfant96]

Exactly my problem. I noticed that most of the time I play only one string. Geee !

All the technique is on the wrist and how we hold the pick !!! ........................The wrist takes time to be build and is so important !!! As we can see in the video your thumb is as should be , but NOT the INDEX !!! Very important is the INDEX FINGER , it should be also PARALLEL to THUMB against the strings holding the pick !!! I play the Greek bouzouki for 45 years !!! A good exercise for tremolo, playing more than one set of strings together ......is to play ALL THE SCALES IN CHARMONY'S , example in third's or sixth's on the fretboard , that way you can practice more than one set of strings playing together at once !!!

A good technique always helps but everybody's hands and fingers are shaped differently and flex to different degrees so making absolutes about the way fingers should align is not the right way to teach. Observe the different styles among all the famous musicians you know! Perlman and Zuckerman do not have the same fingering or bowing technique yet both play the violin as virtuosos. Perlman explains how he adapts technique for his short fat fingers in his Masterclass.

Might be a '4 string' or 'two note' technique, jes sayin...

You didn't teach it, you taught technique. Bait and switch....not cool.
