Bluegrass Mandolin Solo starters

Here's some solo starters. It's kind of like cheating, in some ways, but Vassar started lots of solos like this on hi Old and in the Way stuff, so it's got to be okay.

That looks about right. I usually only play two strings during the starters. Some players will play all four, if possible.

Too bad the video is so short but thanks!

Thanks!

thanks. this is helpful. i approach improv in a predominantly single-note melodic approach, so this is a good piece of advice.

hey, i want to learn mandolin, what do you think would be good to buy for a beginner? I already play guitar so im hoping that some of the skills will transfer to mandolin

look at my mandolin vidjas and help me

[buhler32]

I think it's the same as guitar. Say, you have a one of those slides it would look like this

G-5/6--6-6-6

D-7/8--8-8-8

A-----------

E-----------

etc. I've only played a mandolin once, yesterday actually, And It's way different than violin, or guitar xD

wow. I've had a mandolin for a couple years that I got from my grandfather. I never knew it had potential to make sound like that. I always just thought it was a slow paced strumming instrument.

I just had a buddy loan me several of the Old and in the Way... I'll be sure and check it out.
