Introduction to the Mandolin

[fasted1234rnr]

Why is there a dot on the 10th fret of the mandolin and not on the 9th like a guitar?

[QymanaOnAQuest]

I love how he looks up at 2:32 like "No. It's not you're imagination. I am indeed a badass."

[JDClampet347]

My dad told me if I play that fast, I'll go blind. Oh wait a minute, that was something else he told me about. Never mind.

[markuslebt]

the last chord was the best of all this musical masturbation

[DisembodiedLoaf]

Cool! I've never seen someone shred the mandolin like that!

[greenisforganja]

hot damn, that was pretty amazing.

[jrkraze]

Awesome!

[kihonfc]

Yeah your good ..... so hows that an intro to helping me? Your later vids were helpful, but seems you went backwards.

[hickoryproject]

@kihonfc hey there, this was a little video test..i never thought it would get posted

[Grantalonus]

Hardly an "introduction"!

[foookkker]

i bet he could rape ass on rockband or guitar hero

[ramonesaudibert]

call me INSANE if you may, but i'm watching this video 'cause i want to get a mandolin to add it to my psychedelic-shoegaze trio! =O / =D

[jonnny9000]

wow ur so insane... lmao no one cares

[ironyofacobra]

aha... cool^^

MY GOD :D

[woodrailking]

Yngwie Mandolinsteen!

[ramonesaudibert]

haha, good one! except that this guy is so much cooler than Yngwie.

[shawndidge1]

someday... that'll be me :)

[pcheeseman1957]

f***. can u play.

[Rich7714]

Wow that is unbelievable! My fingers couldn't cope with that! Woah!

[Danuishi]

he looks like the guy from "king of queens"

[Duckthunda]

i just got one today

[rolandthewarrior]

that is amazing im getting a mondolin today

[willardo757]

i think this video could only be helpful if you already play an instrument like the guitar to get the strumming down

[skye131924]

Um...this is cool playing. Saying that i don't know why its called "introduction" since it appears he doesn't really teach anything...

[BatteryHat]

I feel incompetent.

[2mcgrath]

great playing,but i dont think i could learn anything from it.when its played really fast kinda hard

[TastyBananaFatch]

Great player, lousy teacher.

Keeps saying he is going to break it down, then proceeds to go off on the instrument.

How is one supposed to learn??

[you2besux]

he breaks it down in later videos,

this video is just an introduction to what you can do with a mandolin so you can see where you will end up if you practice

[wincent1976]

Holy shit!! Pretty good!

[magicman2001]

this is someone who has done his homework

comes home with all A+

But tutoring skills fall far too short.

[magicman2001]

should be Introduction to a guy who loves the way he plays

[Divadollgirl]

Awesome, I love the Mandolin and I'm trying to learn. Please keep posting your video's. :) Thanks! Bev

[hickoryproject]

thanks Bev

[willied42]

You can really play! I just got my mandolin yesterday...Now I feel like crap.......

[bigwnfan]

i love how this is titled "lesson 1". THe guys seems nice, and i kept waiting for him to unpack the techniques, but ....nothing. Who wouldn't be discouraged by this video? I know I am.

[jeepster73]

god, i'm fallin' asleep. sorry, no good.

[54449t]

Hey jeepster73 - Please explain why this is "no good".  I'd really like to know what makes this "no good".

[snoodlets]

fucking love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[privateplace]

I did not learn a thing, only that this guy wants to play instead of teach

[Baulrog]

[hippiechik42]

I snuck under the tree to peek into a present from my hubby and sure enough, tis a Mandolin! I am soooo excited 'bout that! That being said. I am a drummer and play little to no guitar, so I could use all the help I can get! xoxoxox Thanks Bro for the lessons!
