Hey man just wanted to say I love your channel! I know English probably isn’t your primary language but kudos to you for taking the time to teach mandolin in English 🙏🏻. You’re a great teacher 🤜🏻🤛🏻
My main style is probably "lack of focus"! I play with a number of people at a variety of jams that tend to be very eclectic. My favorite in the past few years is old time string band blues. I also really like bluegrassy fiddle tunes. Lately I have been getting into old time jazz and swing in the style of Django. I am better at comping these things than picking. It's a life long process right? I am periodically in Oslo, I should hook up for a lesson next time I am there. I do realize you may be some distance from there!
Sounds cool! I´m also a bit like you, playing all kinds of styles. We just have to remember, it´s all music! Yes, just contact me if you´re up for a lesson. I do also teach through Skype or Facetime every now and then. Have a good day!
Thank! I had to google Bob Ross, but after I´ve watched him I take it as a compliment. He´s really cool I think! :-) czcams.com/video/VlucWfTUo1A/video.html
Thank you very much Magnus for sharing your knowledge on this with us. You are a very nice mandolinist. I especially liked your different styles from around the world. You have a gift for teaching too btw. Awesome video.
Thanks Tom! I actually put out the structure of a course that I call "Precision, Control and Speed". I´m going to make it a video course where I share the exercises I use to develop that kind of thing. Make sure you hook up with me on FB or my e-mail list and you will be noticed when it´s ready. I hope I can launch the course in June.

What a great introduction and explanation of the benefits of practicing Arpeggios! Love those examples in jazz,brazilian,irish,etc. Thank you Magnus.
Thanks Michael! Yes, I find a LOT of good stuff in arpeggio exercises. For me they work in a more musical context then scales for example. Keep up!
I like your teaching style... keep it up brother!
Thank you! 🙏
Realy good stuff and excellent teacher thanks...

I like your Hat Magnus. Thank you for these videos.
Thanks Andrew! It´s a Stettson. ;-)
Magnus Zetterlund is the Mandolin you play in your video’s the only one you have? I assume you have more.
I do have 3 mandos, two Phoenix Mandolins and one Nordwall Flattop. I use them all for different purposes.
Hehe "you get the point." that made me chuckle for some reason.
Humphrey Bogart-ish. 😉
Excellent lesson. Thank you. You have a gift for teaching as well as music!
Thank you! It makes me very glad to hear that. :-)

Great videos Magnus! You're an inspiration to another aspiring teacher.
Thanks Hayes! Do you remember we met in Grebbestad, Sweden? I do remember some good old time music jamming. :-)
You bet I remember! That was a hot jam. I really hope we get to share some more tunes in the future!
Yes! I would love to. Where do you live nowadays?
Thank you. Very good, well spoken information. You really have great tone too.
Thank you! I´m glad to hear you like the info. What is your main style?

Magnus- perhaps more close-ups of your fingering? Love this video. Just a suggestion.
Thanks. Would be interested on insight into right hand positioning, wrist movement, and gaining speed.
