    Brother Ben! Listen to this... my sister gave me a mandolin she could not play anymore. I saw your video and got the mandolin out. I tuned it up and went through the video with you! Mind-blowing! I was playing the G scale - upper and lower as well as playing along with you in LESS than 15 minutes! I am amazed! Thank you!

    I always feel like I can get plucking tunes and strumming songs down and sounding okay, even on other instruments, but this video has really made me realize what I have to start working on to get into jamming with others, thanks a ton!

    I started playing the mandolin about 30 years ago and have never had a lesson that wasn't free on the internet. This one was a life changer for me. The most helpful video I have ever watched. Thank You!!!!

    Banjo Ben. i am a Gold Pick member but I just discovered this video on the CZcams. I've been playing mandolin for several years. I can play several fiddle tunes but always too afraid to improvise. I found this video extremely useful.

    Fifty years ago I was an orchestra violinist 🎻 and had a long-gone mandolin at home.
    Now in retirement, in another country, this is a perfect first lesson 😀👍+1 and subscribed.

    I have learned D A and G scales in two octaves each from you in one night! Amazing. Also improvising in them. I'd always been hopeless in music theory on every instrument I ever touched before your Mandolin videos. My eyes use to glaze over five minutes into it whenever someone started talking that stuff before.

    I thought by buying this lesson I was going to get Tabs for the jamming lead....I was mistaken!!...wasted $10

    • @BanjoBen
      @BanjoBen  Před 8 měsíci +2

      You mean the tabs for what I played at the start of the video? The whole point is that if you learn what I teach, you can do your own jamming/improv. The point is to get you off the tab because you're confident in what you're playing on the mandolin. I've already refunded your $10 purchase and would encourage you to watch the whole lesson...I think you'll really enjoy it!
