Mandolin Chords and Muscle Memory 

Thanks Wayne everyone loves your videos thanks for your teaching you brought alot too my attention i started playing making noises lol 😆 about 5 years ago its hard unless your taught you ine of the best teacher's

Keep coming back to this. At first, I didn't think I could ever get that practice sequence down I can get through it all the way now, even going from the D7 back to the G. With the cadence. This has been the most beneficial lesson I've watched so far. I was barely able to chop at all before. It hurt a little bit getting there, as they say, no pain no gain. I need to clean it up a lot, but I've actually surprised myself. Many thanks, Wayne.

Wayne, I thoroughly enjoy your videos... and your closer camera angle is a big plus! Your approach is beautifully practical while also acknowledging solid theory. Thank you!!

Great video, as always. What I've recently been finding that breaking out of bluegrass in general helps with ryththm playing so much,. The instrument really opens up when you can bust out of the basic chop chords and start playing different styles. I've been playing a lot of punk rock recently. Not a very mandolin heavy genre but the rhythm is really cool on the mando and it introduces new chords not typically used. I recall Chris Henry saying in an interview that he was a big "The Offspring" fan (maybe not them exactly), but he discovered one of their song had the same rythtym style as Mule Skinner Blues.

Just got back from arthritis rehab didn’t help my situation, but gotta think about those fingers. Muscle memory can keep you from your goal. Thanks for the video!

Thanks again buddy for sharing your talent.

Spent some time with this tonight. I'm struggling with the exercise at the end, but at least I can make the chords now. My hand had a nice warm feel when I finished practicing tonight, but it didn't hurt. Thank you so much. Just one thing, I wasn't sure about the fingering of that D7.

What a great & timely lesson for me. I get so aggravated particularly in my struggle for chord efficiency on the mandolin that I just about quit at least twice a month (JK?) You just gave me hope for another 2 weeks! Thank you

Thank you so much for all you do Wayne!

Great reinforcement of previous sessions. Muscle memory, veggies and meat and potatoes all role into one. Nice mando too ❤

Some great advice!

Great, helpful content, as always. Your ideas and insights are much appreciated!

This video is super helpful! I am definitely going to try to put this stuff into practice. I don't know how far I'm going to get with the mandolin, but your lessons sure make me feel like I can learn to play. This is great material. Thank you for everything. I also love that mandolin you are playing.

really good! thanks Wayne!

Looking good there old buddy! Keep up the good work.

Is that a D7 or Dmin7? In the exercise. G chop, Emin, Amin, ? Thanks!

It helps to have a longer pinky finger. Mine's short. Makes it difficult to make the full chop chords especially on wider neck mandolins.
