Mandolin POV Pickalong: Nine Pound Hammer

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

Let's pick! The point of the Pickalong lessons is not to teach you a tabbed solo or backup, but to get you actually playing along by using your eyes and ears! Don't forget that you can slow down the video!

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

    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.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
