mandolin beginner

In this lesson

When you're hungry for a fiddle tune, it's time to serve up some potatoes! Potatoes teach us the tempo and timing of the song to come, and we should all spend a little time in the kitchen.

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
