@omoshiroidayo At least a fair number of us know how to spell, and if we don't know the correct spelling we use a spelling checker. By the way, I read standard notation and tab, and I am also able to learn by ear. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

i always wondered why thisa americans mandolinists can all play s fast but its just the short pieces are hell easy! dont mind

[oldtrout111]

I'm off to the music store to buy a mandolin, that will be my 2nd stringed instrument (i just hope i can play it) thanks for the video, very impressive!

@rubiconyoufag mandolin is a little bit harder than guitar, but since u already play a string instrument you should pick it up fast

I would have to disagree with the original comment. You were a beginner you said...it wasn't sloppy...it lacked style which is what comes with time and experience. I know for myself, when I first learn a song, It sounds the same way....but after playing it for a while the style takes care of itself. I can only speak for myself, but I try not to think about all the down up down up, and focus more on the fretboard....eventually the picking falls into place.

@madramaith

Hi, can alternate picking be an alternative to the DUD DUD you advocate? I took a couple of lessons from Declan Corey and he uses alternate picking i.e. DUDUD all the time. thanks
