    Thanks for showing this. Especially thanks for showing how to do it with the open strings. I don’t have a left pinky so it really helps!

    Thanks for giving me something special and new to go with, this week.
    I also could not figure out why my mandolin sounded so wrong, off-key. I was using guitar-tuna for mandolin. Then I realized it was tuning wrong strings in wrong keys. So I did it, "manually", and it sounds much better.
    People should learn to not only trust these automated system things. I think it is good to know how to hear and tune what you play.
    It is day-nine, mandolin (or any instrument) for me. I know vocal scales, but not notes, other than C, so this is a new language, for me, entirely. Thanks for helping so much!

    Great video to explain how to use the closed finger style. Wish I had known this years ago, especially with all the B# and E and F players in country music at local coffee houses. c2nRDU

    I know you said that your pinky will lock up sometimes, but is It normal for your thumb to get sore?

  • @achilleus9918
    @achilleus9918 Před 4 lety +1

    I just can’t seem to get the hand position right to be able to do even the first two notes without moving my hand up the frets - I might have small hands but I must be doing something wrong if I can’t even get to the second note.

    Hello, Thanks for the lessons, you're a wonderful teacher. I have a question about your mandolin. What's your nut width? String Spacing? Is that a Gibson? I'm in the market to upgrade and my current Mandolin has such tiny spacing it's difficult for me to play. As a bassplayer I hope you'd understand about having a little bit more room.
    Cheers and thanks again for the lessons; they're quite informative and easy to follow.

    • @MandoLessons
      @MandoLessons  Před 7 lety

      I'm not sure what the nut or string spacing is, but my mandolin was built by Tom Ellis in Austin, TX, and if you email him I'm sure he could tell you. I know Gibson does make a wide nut mandolin, and Collings does too. Thanks for watching!

  • @randialbrechtsen
    @randialbrechtsen Před 5 lety

    Hey. I get confused with the sharps and flats when naming notes on the fret board. Is there a rule for when one says ‘sharp’ or ‘flat’? Thanks

    • @Y2daT420
      @Y2daT420 Před 5 lety

      to the best of my knowledge there are no sharp or flat between Band C or E and F all the other notes have them and the same note is sharp for the lower note and flat for the higher note .. example the note between A & B is A# or Bb .. i think you would call it depending on the scale or key you are playing in.

  • @GranolaRose
    @GranolaRose Před 7 lety

    Hello, I've have recently been teaching myself the mandolin and my biggest question with scales is do I press down on all frets at the same time? Like with the first scale show, its the 2nd fret of G, then 4th fret of G. Am i pressing down on both at the same time (and with the rest) or one fret at a time?

    • @MandoLessons
      @MandoLessons  Před 7 lety

      Leaving your fingers down is a good habit in my opinion, but not everybody does it, even myself! Good question!

  • @yonderthemountaintop1993
    @yonderthemountaintop1993 Před 8 lety +2

    Does the first note tell u what key your in with that movable shape on the A and E strings as well?

    • @MandoLessons
      @MandoLessons  Před 8 lety

      +Nick Jones I'm not sure I understand the question, could you rephrase it?

    • @yonderthemountaintop1993
      @yonderthemountaintop1993 Před 8 lety

      the scale you showed that you can start on any fret with, does that work the same way on the higher strings as well?

    • @yonderthemountaintop1993
      @yonderthemountaintop1993 Před 8 lety

      might be a dumb question but oh well

    • @MandoLessons
      @MandoLessons  Před 8 lety

      +Nick Jones Not a dumb question at all! It works wherever you start, you just run out of strings quicker on the A and E strings. Thanks!

    Your lesson is good, but please remember those of us who have small hands and move because we don't have the full reach that you do.

    • @annebeck58
      @annebeck58 Před 5 lety +4

      I have extremely tiny hands.. watch it through a few times, and play it back slowly, even, pausing to set your fingers right. Once you get the pinky down there, on the g-string(s), you will wonder why it doesn't always sit there.

  • @johnpatrickmatthewsmusic

    Why is the scale only on two strings why not show it on all 4 strings and run a 2 octave?
