Thanks! 3 weeks ago started to learn Mandoline with 68. Tremolos on string instruments I admired as Accordeonist and it was one of the reasons to learn Mandoline. Greetings from Germany! Shall try to work according your teachings! Love the sounds of Mandolins.
Like the way you used the whiteboard. The mind can wander when you watch someone writing, but each new concept would "POP" into view. Effective technique.
Nice lesson, but I must say that most of my attention went to the BEAUTIFUL sound of your mandolin! Beautiful and looooooong sustain! I can imagine that must be an expensive mandolin. 💛
thank you very much for your teaching I play mandolin for more than 30 years however my knowledge are very limited and your lesson are very helpfull to make me some progress. Joseph from charleroi in belgium
Heart of Kentucky. HEY MAGNUS! Love the sound of your flat top mandolin. Wish I had one just like it. You play tremelo beautifully. It's not my forte. Maybe I'll work on it. Katie.
Thank you for your presentation on tremolo. I use it all the time. At a jam session, I may play a floating harmony in tremolo during an entire song. Thanks for introducing the various aspects, now I can be more aware of, and enhance what I have been doing. The way you play short tremolo bursts, as you do so skillfully, is an inspiration, and I will work more on that. Also, your use of double and triple stops is a technique I would like to know more about. Keep up the great work! P.S: I love your informal paper chart. Please don't do it as a software overlay. Your way is very charming.
Thanks Jim! I also did find the paperwork to support me well. A little bit old school, but what the heck, after all we’re Mandolin players. :-) Cheers!
Nice vids Magnus! Thank you! I play the mandolin and as a portuguese guy, the tremolo (wich we call «trinado») is a must-do technique on almost any of our tunes. I guess it's a latin-european thing since italian tunes are also "tremolo-friendy".
I really liked Flatbush Waltz also. I looked around and found the Mandolin TAB to play it: www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/session-mandolin-tab/pdf/flatbush_waltz-mandolin-tab.pdf ... and here is Andy Statman, the writer of the song, playing it. Such beautiful Tremolo, a wonderful example for us all: czcams.com/video/IRLSYcoRU60/video.html
Perhaps annoying to you. The clear majority of comments are positive. If free CZcams training doesn't suit, you could hire a teacher and mandate "no chat" in your training contract.
Very slow and tedious. Doesn’t appear to know what the term “articulation” means. It means how connected or separated notes are, ranging from staccato to legato. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the amplitude envelope, as he seems to think.. He’s also fuzzy about the term “rubato”. Rubato is altering the tempo of the piece itself for expressive purposes. It has no particular application to tremolo or to any ornament. The distinction between what he calls “in time” and “rubato” is actually between measured and unmeasured tremolo. I could go on, but what it really comes down to is that this guy simply has no business teaching at all.
Thanks! I like measured and unmeasured tremolo, that is a better terminology. How about the “articulation”, what is a better word for that? Expression, phrasing?
Au contraire! Young Magnus has PLENTY of business teaching. Those just introduced to Mr. Zetterlund should bear in mind that English is his second language. Then, try to imagine YOU training others in his native Swedish Svenska. Those of us familiar with his tutelege don’t stumble or quibble over vocabulary. Magnus may not always translate precisely, but he communicates splendidly in musical technique and expression. He conveys concepts quite clearly by example. Without instilling understanding as Magnus does, precise musical terms are just arbitrary and confusing jargon. Because you posted this scathing critique, I checked your Facebook homepage. The vacuum found there recalls the maxim, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
@@MandolinSecrets I think it's best to say "dynamic" in this case (diminuendo/crescendo, maybe?) instead of "articulation." Aside from those minor details, the video is still good as it offers options to "play" with the tremolo, which was its main goal (I think).
Another great lesson !! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina !!
Thanks! 3 weeks ago started to learn Mandoline with 68. Tremolos on string instruments I admired as Accordeonist and it was one of the reasons to learn Mandoline. Greetings from Germany! Shall try to work according your teachings! Love the sounds of Mandolins.
Nice video! Thanks, Magnus, for the clear explanation.👍
I love the sound and try to apply it.

Yes,I love tremolo. Thank you so much for explaining it so well.
Thanks Glennys! Glad you like it!

Great lesson. Strangely enough, I had the urge to get something to drink. Cheers!

Hobart Tasmania, thank you for your videos, I really like this one. all the best to you.

Yes
Love tremolo. Important technique in mandolin playing.
Well done YES trying.
Heart of Kentucky. HEY MAGNUS! Love the sound of your flat top mandolin. Wish I had one just like it. You play tremelo beautifully. It's not my forte. Maybe I'll work on it. Katie.
Sounds good Katie!
Yes I noticed its used real heavy in Italian like Solo moo.Tremor that is
Yes I use tremolo
The tremolo is clearly explained, beatiful examples, thanks for this video!
Yes!
Nice mando! Who made it?
I have heard of a type of "ruboto" where the speed of the tremolo coincides with the volume of the swell. Faster and louder, slower and softer.
Thanks for the lesson! What brand of tone guard are you using here? Are tone guards really worth?

Excellent lesson - I'm a intermediate player and I got a lot out of it! Cheers from Canada, Sean.

That's great David. "Trinado"
How do you put a belt around it?
The tune I play is Flatbush Waltz, do you play that?

Annoying interruptions while you are teaching. Is it chat time or mando lesson😢
