I WILL get you jamming on mandolin...right NOW! All I ask you to do is learn a G major scale, then leave the rest up to me! Full lesson, tabs and mp3's found here: banjobenclark....
Brother Ben! Listen to this... my sister gave me a mandolin she could not play anymore. I saw your video and got the mandolin out. I tuned it up and went through the video with you! Mind-blowing! I was playing the G scale - upper and lower as well as playing along with you in LESS than 15 minutes! I am amazed! Thank you!
I started playing the mandolin about 30 years ago and have never had a lesson that wasn't free on the internet. This one was a life changer for me. The most helpful video I have ever watched. Thank You!!!!
Banjo Ben. i am a Gold Pick member but I just discovered this video on the RU-vid. I've been playing mandolin for several years. I can play several fiddle tunes but always too afraid to improvise. I found this video extremely useful.
I have learned D A and G scales in two octaves each from you in one night! Amazing. Also improvising in them. I'd always been hopeless in music theory on every instrument I ever touched before your Mandolin videos. My eyes use to glaze over five minutes into it whenever someone started talking that stuff before.
I always feel like I can get plucking tunes and strumming songs down and sounding okay, even on other instruments, but this video has really made me realize what I have to start working on to get into jamming with others, thanks a ton!
Fifty years ago I was an orchestra violinist 🎻 and had a long-gone mandolin at home. Now in retirement, in another country, this is a perfect first lesson 😀👍+1 and subscribed.
For sure, and don't miss the others in other keys: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cgknXmlUwec.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YfunN7D2zQU.htmlsi=AVo56IM8bi26eqfW
Excellent Presentation... muscle memory Would of been nice to see your Buddy play guitar along with you zoom up and merge ... Break me out of the shell ...
@@rickpick9058 Lol..I have short fingers shaped like breakfast sausages, been playing for years, and I am physically unable to play a B Major chord on a mandolin. It just ain't gonna happen, stuck with a B minor for life lol.
You mean the tabs for what I played at the start of the video? The whole point is that if you learn what I teach, you can do your own jamming/improv. The point is to get you off the tab because you're confident in what you're playing on the mandolin. I've already refunded your $10 purchase and would encourage you to watch the whole lesson...I think you'll really enjoy it!
