Blackberry Blossom- Intermediate

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

Hands down, this is one you've got to know. Plus, it's an incredible exercise in and of itself! This is the basic melody to Blackberry Blossom which is intermediate in nature. Don't forget to check out the advanced version I remade from my old YouTube video!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
