Golden Slippers

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

Let's learn this classic (and catchy) fiddle tune! This version is strongly melody-based, but with tasty licks and tricks to help you sing the melody in interesting ways. I created this lesson in anticipation of my 2026 Virtual Mandolin Camp, where we'll take this tune and several others to apply the G major scale in every which way!

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

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

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

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