Talking Mandolin Rhythm

mandolin intermediate

In this lesson

Let's talk mandolin rhythm in the context of a band! Jake gives his perspective as a guitar player for what he wants to hear from the mandolin picker, and I think this is quite helpful!

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

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

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

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

    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.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
