Lots of folks are familiar with the mandolin "chop," but when it comes to playing slower songs, they're a bit lost. This tab teaches a great backup crosspicking pattern in the key of A with four different transitions/licks to use between chords.

Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
