PickAlong: Fireball Mail

mandolin intermediate

The train is leavin' the station...what are you waitin' for?! Don't forget that I have lessons for Fireball Mail for each instrument, so head there if you need tab solos. HOWEVER, my PickAlong lessons are meant for you to use your eyes and ears to play along with me! Forget the tab, follow my fingers, and let's pick one together!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

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

    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.
