Hello,

I'm learning to play mine. Great song to learn. This is just a little too fast for me. I can't see your fingers and it's very frustrating. If I could slow it down a bit, I could fugure it out. I play bass, guitar, and a little keyboard most of my life, but always wanted to learn to play the mandolin. You sound great and easy to work with. I'll keep looking to see if you have something a little slower. Keep up the good work.

Dale you inspired me to get my mandolin out and give it a crack and guess what, I can play Nine Pound Hammer now!! Thanks. Your lesson whether guitar or mandolin really help!

Do you play banjo as well? If so can you post some lesson as I bought a Fender banjo last year and apart from duelling banjo's and Dead Skunk I can't play too much else!

Cheers mate!

[tonedr]

hello friend! you made my day - i'm glad you could use the video! I'm not a banjo player but i think it's great that you have such a great variety of instruments and talents - hope all is good!

your friend,

Great lesson... never played a mandolin but they seem really neat and was listening to The Battle Of Evermore by zeppelin today and it has awesome mandolin in it.

[tonedr]

a lot of fun / I've always loved the sound of a mando - I think you should add one to your collection!

thanks for watching,
