    She switches from playing triads to adding flatted sevens and blues notes in the thirds. This is a really great study on the positioning of the scales and how to expand when you start to apply more colorful notes in the scale.

    Nice lesson to open up the fretboard and inspire. Thanks to Reverb I hooked up with my first mandolin -- a used Eastman md505 sunburst for$600 I'm just lovin'. Can't wait to see Sierra live in a couple weeks. Life is good!

    Since you started playing at age 8, I thought you would be interested to know I started about three weeks ago at age 68. I still don’t have callouses on my fingers.
    I found this exercise quite interesting and have spent a few hours trying to see how you’re handling the transitions and intervals. Is it possible for you to put a tab of what you’re doing for us noobs?
    You are a phenomenal player and your singing voice, to my ears, is second only to Judith Durham.
    Thanks for posting your content. I enjoy the songs and the tips.
    I’m only hoping, some day, to play the mandolin well enough that listeners will know what piece I’m playing without being told.

    OK…. This is a lesson that is a big step along the way. ( I have a broken foot at present so I have the time to go back to basics and get to a clearer solid style. This is one I’ll sit with for a few days with different scales and tunes) Thank you for this Serra!!

    Thank you . I usually play guitar. However, I have a Gibson 1916 A-4 top condition mandolin. It's a round hole and has unsurpassed tone. I really need to play & study more. I seem to get started and then get busy writing a new song on guitar. Thank you for your instructional inspiration. Such a beautiful instrument with inlaid ivory running pegs, tortas pick guard, rare solid one piece maple top, extended fret board, and perfect neck. The more it's played the better it sounds. Got to apply myself more & advance. Thank you.

    Great exercise......the old time jazz giants did this with guitar arpeggios and scales.
    Play arpeggios or scales starting with each finger ....go nonstop...go up an octave then back down landing on the next finger (pinky, ring, middle, index and you come back or vise versa)...after playing all 4 fingers start the next octave without stopping. Play all octaves til you can't go any further. play the whole neck without stopping. You'll see every fingering in every position. You will have to do low, high, low, high

    • @claffert
      @claffert 4 роки тому

      I'm a newbie but I believe that it would just work for instruments that are turned like a mandolin (with GDAE). The interval pattern would be different on other instruments.
      (I'm referring to the specific pattern, not the general concept..)

    • @penguindrum264
      @penguindrum264 4 роки тому

      It's basically position shifting which applies to all stringed instruments. Using 7th arpeggios may make the shifts easier but creates a different sound. Also can be applied to pentatonics which players like Mateus Asato uses but he doubles the target note twice which is common in blues.
      On electric guitar there are also other approaches to increasing your range, tapping and 4 notes per string that I know of.
