Howdy CZcams pals! Hope you enjoy Wayne's World of Mandolin and visit often. If you're interested in one on one Skype sessions you can email me at waynebenson1969@gmail.com
Wayne, I've watched (and liked!) every one of your mandolin videos. Your lessons are the some of most thoughtful, useful and concise mandolin instruction available. Please do a future video on building solos or breaks over common chord progressions. You've touched on this topic in some of your lessons but need more detail. I'm guessing many mando players can play the scales and exercises in your lessons, but I for one struggle to translate the theory into great sounding breaks. Thanks!
I'll add that to my list of video suggestions Joe! In the meantime checkout the Improvisational Roadmaps video here on WWOM. Pick a chord other than the example in that video and create a "roadmap" of your own. This is part of the process of creating those musical lines......good luck and stay tuned for that video!
I’m so glad I found your page! I haven’t played my mandolin in years, at least while I was working at learning the fiddle. However, you’ve motivated me to break it out and start working at it again! There’s an endless wealth of material to work with here, and I can’t wait to get back to work! Thanks so much!
Brilliant lesson once again, Wayne. Thank you for lots of good ideas for practice and musical understanding. Between my mandolin and your videos, I think I’m gonna make it through this pandemic! I’m at no loss for something valuable to be doing as long as you keep kicking out such helpful videos.
Wayne, your channel is incredible, and you've always been one of my mandolin heroes. I would love to see some repeated videos that just are basically a bag of licks. You've got such a creative style, I would love to see what some of your old standard licks are when you are just unthinkingly playing over something.
Hi Wayne. thanks for the arpeggio exercise. I have viewed several of your videos and find them very challenging, especially the one on harmonizing the Gmaj 7. I would suggest you teach us how to play a specific vocal bluegrass song with a break over the solo using pentatonic scales. thanks.
Thank you for this great Mandolin information, just playing now about two months coming from guitar and fiddle. Your vids are high value and Also impact on fiddle too ... Commiting to the pick hold you suggest and would be interested in some Mandolin setup and action thoughts ... Appreciate your very instructive videos thank you.
Hey Redfish, good luck with the pickhold and thx for watching. I intend to make a setup video as part of my "Mandolin on a Budget" playlist. Stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.....
Sorry Sherie but no tab is available for the content here. Most of the content is about developing a good connection to the fretboard so that we don't need it. Good luck and thx for the question......
Howdy Roger. Unfortunately Wayne's World of Mandolin is a low tech operation (I make these video's on my cell phone). Many viewers have had luck watching on there tv instead of the phone.
I love the channel and look forward to your videos!! Always been a big fan of your work! Is there anyway you could do something about triplets and the right hand? Thanks in advance Sir!! ❤️
Wayne, God has blessed you with the ability to challenge, inspire, teach and of course perfect your skill.
This guy can TEACH! What a resource this channel is!
Thx for the compliment! Glad WWOM is a help.....

You're very welcome. Glad you found the channel and enjoy the content. Good luck rebooting on the mando pal. Have fun....
Hey man really great stuff. 👍
Thanks for always giving a lot to us, David.
Sure thing David, thx for the support and the comment.....
All these videos are just so wonderful! Thank you, Wayne, for your time and effort in producing these!
Thx for the comment Nathan. So glad you enjoy WWOM.......

Thx Bill. Glad you're on board pal....
Another really great lesson. Thanks!
Thanks!! Your videos are so clear and helpfull. Really life changing for mandolin students!!!❤
You're so welcome!
The mando sounds so nice

Thank you Rick. This channel has got me thru the pandemic too pal. I would've never had time to do this if 3TO had been gigging in 2020.....
Those are some mighty fine veggies! Thanks.
Love it
Thanks so much for this video! That "B" arpeggio is tough though!!! That's a huge stretch!
It sure is. That's good for us!
Great stuff, thanks!
Glad you liked it!

Thx for the comment Keith! I'll certainly add that idea to my list of requested videos. It would be fun content to create......
Wayne, you will never have too many of the videos using classic Bluegrass songs to build from....
Great lesson.....I need to learn to get around on the fretboard better, and this is a good answer.

Howdy Banjobarron, thx for the request. I'll add it to my list and hopefully get to cover that topic soon...
wauv, you make exercises and playing so easy, insightful and fun. Ivar from the Faroe Islands (faraway islands). ; )
I'm glad you enjoy the channel! Wayne from Palmetto State (South Carolina). ;) 😉
Feedback..... Rhythm lessons!!!!.. So many fiddle tunes and melody vids out there
Thx for the comment Dirk. Find a fiddle tune in the key of C to work on while you master this exercise. 👍

Wayne, I really like your strap. Mine is a little flimsy around the scroll, but yours is more hefty. What brand is it? Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos. Just wondering...do you ever do any tabs for some of the lessons you post? Thanks.
Sorry Sherie but no tab is available for the content here. Most of the content is about developing a good connection to the fretboard so that we don't need it. Good luck and thx for the question......
I wish you would zoom in on the mandolin more. would be easier for us old guys to see. thank you.

Glad you like the channel and I appreciate the comment. I'm putting together a list of video request and will add this. Thx.....
I would like to see a video on alternative ways to play rhythm especially in "A". I want to get away from the chop and the guitar strum style. Thanks
Thx for the request Tommy. I'll add it to my list pal....
