Keep on the Sunny Side

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

What a fun tune to play! I love the doublestops in this one, and while it's not too hard to learn, it's plenty enough to keep your attention!

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

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

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

    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.

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

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