- I WILL get you jamming on mandolin...right NOW! All I ask you to do is learn a G major scale, then leave the rest up to me!
Full lesson, tabs and mp3's found here: banjobenclark....
Brother Ben! Listen to this... my sister gave me a mandolin she could not play anymore. I saw your video and got the mandolin out. I tuned it up and went through the video with you! Mind-blowing! I was playing the G scale - upper and lower as well as playing along with you in LESS than 15 minutes! I am amazed! Thank you!
Dude, this is what it's about! Thank you!
I started playing the mandolin about 30 years ago and have never had a lesson that wasn't free on the internet. This one was a life changer for me. The most helpful video I have ever watched. Thank You!!!!
Thanks so much!
I have learned D A and G scales in two octaves each from you in one night! Amazing. Also improvising in them. I'd always been hopeless in music theory on every instrument I ever touched before your Mandolin videos. My eyes use to glaze over five minutes into it whenever someone started talking that stuff before.
Wow, what great feedback and it's so encouraging for me to hear this from you! Please keep pickin' and keep me posted on your progress!
@@BanjoBen Today I'll learn C and E from you.
Great video! As someone new to both mandolin AND theory in general (after playing guitar for 30+ years), I can unequivocally tell anyone watching this two things:
1) THIS is the path to proficiency.
2) You can do it!
Once you know "the neck" in 2-3 scales, you'll start feeling like a superhero! Trust me!
Fifty years ago I was an orchestra violinist 🎻 and had a long-gone mandolin at home.
Now in retirement, in another country, this is a perfect first lesson 😀👍+1 and subscribed.
Banjo Ben. i am a Gold Pick member but I just discovered this video on the UA-cam. I've been playing mandolin for several years. I can play several fiddle tunes but always too afraid to improvise. I found this video extremely useful.
Absolutely the best beginner video I have seen. Really worked for me! Thanks so much.
I always feel like I can get plucking tunes and strumming songs down and sounding okay, even on other instruments, but this video has really made me realize what I have to start working on to get into jamming with others, thanks a ton!
That Mando sounds and looks great in your capable hands!
Grateful for this generous lesson. Thank you, Sirs.
Wow, I finally get it! This part has been eluding me for ages. I feel like I finally get it
I really enjoyed joining in with that. Only been playing mandolin for about an hour now
Man! Been doing this a few times a day for the last two weeks.
Keeps and bounds!
Thanks!!!

How Dino get people to take me seriously holding a toy instrument 😅 I thought Mando would get me chicks but they just laugh at me
I have big hands and fingers is there a way to play?
Yep. Just do it. Hands come in all shapes and sizes and they can all play mandolin.
@@rickpick9058 Lol..I have short fingers shaped like breakfast sausages, been playing for years, and I am physically unable to play a B Major chord on a mandolin. It just ain't gonna happen, stuck with a B minor for life lol.
I thought by buying this lesson I was going to get Tabs for the jamming lead....I was mistaken!!...wasted $10
You mean the tabs for what I played at the start of the video? The whole point is that if you learn what I teach, you can do your own jamming/improv. The point is to get you off the tab because you're confident in what you're playing on the mandolin. I've already refunded your $10 purchase and would encourage you to watch the whole lesson...I think you'll really enjoy it!
