Mandolin Lesson - Take Five

Take Five by Paul Desmond. Recorded by Dave Brubeck in Dm. I count and strum this pattern as follows, 1(down stroke)-2(up)-&(up)-3(down) 1(down), 2(down) which breaks it into 3 beats and 2 beats.

Your post made me smile....I'm humbled....thank you! P.S. You're on your own for "Blue Rondo A La Turk"!

Hey. I've been working on Swing Thing from one of your other videos, and I can't wait to try this one. I've really learned a lot from you. My sincere thanks.

[MandoMarkinIndy]

I'm glad they helped! Thank you for you kind comment!

very cool, but those chords flash awfully fast!

[MandoMarkinIndy]

If you want to own the tune I suggest pausing the video and writing out the chords. Writing them out helps you remember and connect to the tune and the chord forms. I do that with a lot of songs. I'll try to post tab and/or the chord forms written out soon! I do agree...the chords just keep comming! I'll try to slow it down a little next time!

Where have you been all my life? Finally decent Mandy lessons on youtube!

[MandoMarkinIndy]

99.9% of the time you will play (pick) through the pair of strings (both of them), but play them or act as both strings are one string
