Thanks for this very helpful video. I am just starting out on the mandolin and videos like this that talk about correct technique are appreciated.

Thank you for this lesson. Been using my left hand the wrong way for too long.

Randy Lanham here. Glad to help. Many people do hold it wrong without even knowing. It is so natural to bend your wrist or not hold it in the right spot in your hand. It really does help your fingers get around the fingerboard easier when you are holding it correctly.
