B Major Scale Study

mandolin beginner

In this lesson

The purpose of this study is to teach your fingers where they're going to live when playing in the key of B. We'll first learn 3 positions for a one octave scale, then introduce a great exercise, and finally apply it to playing licks in B!

    Just want to say the multiple camera angles make all the difference. I could actually see what the right hand was doing.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
