Mandolin POV Pickalong: Old Joe Clark

mandolin beginner

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!

    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

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

    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.
