My palm, on the pinkie side of my hand, lightly brushes the bridge as I play, but it’s more of a proximity “feel” so I can unconsciously gauge my pick height in relation to the strings… or to palm mute certain songs… I strive to not rest my palm or pinkie anywhere. Strive for a free-floating pick hand. 😊

Thanks Jake. I watched on tutorial that suggested resting it on the bridge, but it didn’t feel correct.

⁠​⁠@@scottwaltner4908 yep I would try to not rest your palm on anything! Might brush the bridge a lil, but def not rotating around a point where you’re planting anything!

Of course Scott! What tunes have you been working on!?

@@lukehenning7364 it ate some pecans I threw to it! It def didn’t eat the kale, and the Bok Choi was buried in snow before it was discovered!!! 🦔🤣

@@brentevans6923 I just started posting a few originals around Christmas, i really do appreciate it Brent that u took a min to listen to ‘em! 🙏🏾🙌🎧😁thank uuu!!!

@@ZfromC I’ll put a pint 🍺 in a video for u if I remember next time I go to record 🤣

@@ZfromC thank you!!!🙏🏾 it was a new years resolution to start posting some originals, I appreciate you checking these out Z!!! 🙌🤓👍🏾

@@scottwaltner4908 I’ll take another look soon & get back to you on what I was playing/the tab… I might have it messed up on the tab! 🤣

@scottwaltner4908 I see where I’ve made it confusing… there are LOTS of ways to play diminished chords… a lil tough to explain via comments so I’ll whip up a lil lesson n post it in Patreon to explain! Essentially tho, you’re right… B dim. can be played 435 or 4354 or 432 or 4321… or other ways too! I did it one way in the video n a different way in the tab! I’ll shoot for consistency… n a better lesson on diminished chords!!!

Thanks Jake. I have been working on your latest tune , Geminid pass, sure doesn’t sound like yours. I have a lot of work to do.

@@scottwaltner4908 keep after it, slowly but surely!!! Share your progress when you feel up to it!!!

No problem! Hope it was helpful!

@@scottwaltner4908 Ouuu! It’s hard to explain via comment… but I’ll record a lil video n send/post it on left hand position! You don’t want to be holding the neck like, say how an axe handle might lay in one’s hand, like fully in your palm. I’ll get a video up Scott! It’s a good question!!!

@scottwaltner4908 I just posted this on Patreon… ua-cam.com/video/OwHXoH0-3C8/v-deo.htmlsi=RweyNO0XnXW4Zj_C hope it’s more helpful to answer your question!

@@MyBluegrassRomancethanks for the video on the left hand Jake. I have to concentrate not to bend my wrist backwards and support the neck in my palm.😖

@@scottwaltner4908yes! Def don’t have like, your hand angled backwards at the wrist Scott! Think a straight line, your forearm/wrist/hand are all inline with one another. Glad the short video was helpful!

@@MyBluegrassRomancethanks Jake, I am really going to be aware of keeping my wrist straight.

@@janetfraser7869 Janet Ty for taking a minute to listen!!! 🎧 ❤️ it’s a lil nerve wracking to put originals out there for the world to see! Means a lot!

@johndaugherty4127 thanks again for listening, for coming back for more mandolin! 🙌🙌🙌😁

Appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Ty, hope u enjoy the tunes I’m posting!

@johndaugherty4127 thanks for stopping to take a listen, and the compliment, appreciate it!

@@duck-808 Ty for listening & the kind words! I’ve made a goal to start writing (and now sharing) more often, and appreciate that you took the time to listen ;)

I hope I don’t sound selfish but the Tico Tico and the partita piece would really help. Thanks.

@charlesfritter9686 I apologize for such a late response… I’ve been more busy building my house out in the forest of Maine than picking!!! I am nearing completion and I just decided to commit to playing more (and started a Patreon as well) send me an email at mybluegrassromance@gmail.com and I’ll send you tabs/notation for all of these!

@charlesfritter9686, I responded to your other comment, but in case you don’t see it… check out my new Patreon, I’ve uploaded the tabs there… or email me directly at MyBluegrassRomance@gmail.com

@calvinquek5229 thanks! I just started posting some mandolin originals of mine to my shorts on my channel… i invite you to check em out!

@jazzdoucette apologizes for missing your comment, I’ve been focused on building a home in the woods these past two years! I’m finishing up and just started a Patreon, but email me at mybluegrassromance@gmail.com and I’ll try to dig up the transcription! My new UA-cam page is “My Bluegrass Romance” too. Thanks again for listening!

Thanks! Appreciate you checking out my videos. I’ve been out of the loop n need to start playing more!

It was a Weber SE with a cedar top… unfortunately I drove over it backing out of a campsite at a festival a few years ago!

Thanks for checking out my videos, appreciate your comment n listening.

@FlubbaSketchy sorry I never responded! I moved n was building a home for the past few years! The backing tracks were from a channel “Andy St Backing Track” I believe. I just started a new channel too… hoping to be more consistent! “My bluegrass romance”… check it out! Happy 2025!

@FlubbaSketchy I just started a Patreon with four Choros (among other things, like a handful of originals) tabbed/notated with backing tracks. I invite you to check it out in the description! Happy 2025!

Marc, I apologize for not responding sooner... I'm glad my video helped! Figuring out fingerings can be the 'ah ha!' moment for me in learning some passages for sure. PM me at jake.h.henning@gmail.com and I'll try to dig up the tab on variations 2 and 3.

Magnus, thanks for taking a listen! You've inspired me to transcribe and learn J.S. Bach's variation's #2 and #3 as well, which I recorded and posted earlier this year. Hopefully I'll learn more of his stuff as well soon!

Charlie, sorry for my 7 month late reply... message me at jake.h.henning@gmail.com and I'll send the tablature right away! I'm working on writing out Ainda me Recordo this week as well. Hopefully I'll post something, it's another great choro!

@CGiordano464 sorry I fell off the radar and never responded. I started a Patreon and new UA-cam page called “my bluegrass romance” and the tabs are uploaded there for free! Look under “Choro” and you should be able to find the uploaded .pdf!
