This video is a major contribution to the KZbin mandolin community. I can think of no other quite like it, and as you can see from the comments, it was sorely needed.

Great performance at Gamble Rogers fest. Always enjoy hearing you and your dad with Barbra Johnson

[@edmeier5198]

I have been doing this every day for 2 weeks now, and see a huge difference in my performance! Wow. Wish that I would have seen something like this before. You are an amazing teacher Mr. Henry. I plan on keeping this up every day, can't wait to see the improvement.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

so glad to hear you are connecting with the flow here! thanks for the kind comments Ed! - keep er goin!

[@gwennbair3976]

Ths is so suited to what I wanted as a little practice structure, thanks a heap Christopher, and it's fun to know you made it for Wyatt. It doesn't look like it hurt him none.

[@benmeyer7767]

This is great. Would love to see something like this for guitar

[@andyszpekman5205]

Very helpful structure for applying the grunt work practice pillar!

[@nkurns]

Thank you for sharing this! Grateful for the grunt work

[@michaelmcgowan9466]

Inspiring. Chris Henry you are a aminal;)

[@estano9111]

Thank you so very much for this..

[@wgkluck2]

Much appreciated Chris. ;-) I always include your grunt work into my daily routine. I see in this video that you've purposefully chosen to emphasize downstrokes in multiple exercises. I'm curious as to why versus using alternate picking for those? I/we can certainly switch to alternate easily enough, but I'm guessing there's a teaching moment in there for Wyatt - and by extension the rest of us mere mortals ;)

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Fair question. The downstroke practice can really hone in on the muscle and force required to parlay into faster alternate picking. To say another way, better and Faster downstrokes, better and faster tremolo/alternate picking. Thanks for the kindness! 😀🎶

[@drscottyj]

wow

[@azombiestool]

Howwwwwddddyyyyy

[@LordFinigan]

Hello! This is great! Quick question - when doing the arpegios, I notice you are doing the major chords G, A, B, C, etc... Why this instead of the chords in the key G, Amin, Bmin, etc.. Would practicing arpegios in that manor also be valid? Thank you so much!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

I reckon practicing the arpeggios in about any way you can think of could be helpful. In most of the traditional bluegrass we play, it's mostly the major arpeggios that tend to be the most helpful to master, so I think that is probably why. hope that helps a little!

[@LordFinigan]

@ChrisHenryVideos Got it! Thanks for the quick reply. Loving everything you put out. Big plus for our community

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

very welcome! and I appreciate that kindness a lot! love sharing the music with like minded folks :D

[@jazzsongsinger]

This is very helpful. Thank you. Would you consider doing one for guitar?

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

that's a good idea! yes!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

and thanks for the kind comments, Laura! :D

[@jeremiahu8345]

Do you create individualized practice plans/ videos like this with all your students or this just for folks like Wyatt?

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

I have done this one and one other. But I could potentially make more if you are interested, we could chat about it! [e-mail]

[@USA1492]

This is great! Going to share this with @theshaymorgan

[@sunderwunder]

Are you still in 2/4? There seems to be a high hat sound on the upbeat. Also, what metronome do you ise to get that?

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

I think about as 4/4, but counting just the strong beats (where the bass plays) - the metronome comes from a VST plugin within Cubase called Kontakt and the instrument is called Session Drummer

[@user-lg9hu8ot5t]

Why is the transcript in Hindi?😅

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

Now that is a good question!

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

seemed kinda random - I deleted the Hindi captions - hoping English will kick in soon. thanks for the heads up!
