Jesus Paid It All on Mandolin

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

This mandolin solo stands alone or fits in nicely with the guitar feature. I love bringing these beautiful hymn melodies to life in our own bluegrass style, and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did creating it!

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

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

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

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

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

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.
