mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

She is grand, ain't she? This has become one of my favorite patriotic songs, and I think it fits the mandolin just fine!

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

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Don't force the pinky stretch. Move your thumb down behind the neck first and the stretch mostly takes care of itself.

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

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
