I discovered the Mandolin five minutes ago and I'm in love with it.
I've had a mandolin for 16 years and I never knew I could make it sound like this XD
You bet I'm starting practicing right now.
How’s it been going?
I have a really old (probably 20 something year old) a- style mandolin that my grandpa gave me when I was 5 to play with before he passed.
I have no idea how to play it, but I just tuned it and I’m going to try it out😂
I'm crap on the piano and the guitar. My ambition is to be crap on the mandolin
lol. That's me too.
LOL
Glad to see I'm not alone.
Me Too. I have three guitars, a banjo, a fiddle and a didgeridoo and now a mandolin which I will attempt to play very poorly as well.
I've never vibed with a comment to the degree of intensity that I vibe with this
Oh C'mon. The video is intended to demonstrate 3 rhythms. I play each of the three rhythms along with a (pre-recorded) melody track of Whiskey Before Breakfast. The idea is to show how the rhythm style can dramatically change the feel of a tune even if the melody is played the same all three times. I never would have thought anyone would think that I was playing both melody and accompaniment at the same time. ..........Not quite sure how you go about that on this tune.
Thanks for posting this. Just picked mine up today this will help alot
donjulinlessons true sir. thank you.
Well, you are pretty good so. . . . yeah not possible 😁
My dad just suggested that I get a mandolin, I had no idea what they were until now and I’m obsessed!
Aaaaand ive fallen in love with the mandolin
GUITAR CENTER HERE I COME!
LOL
I just got your mandolin for dummies book and can't wait to learn how to play my mandolin well. Thanks for the videos!
Very nice and simple to understand
i love don julin, look at him with Billy strings they are on of the best bluegrass duos i`ve ever heard of :D
Getting ready to buy my first mandolin so im doing as much research as i can before i buy one, thanks for the video, im sure i'll watch it many times 👍🇺🇸.
Holy cow... you make it look so easy. I have been struggling to get it together for years and can't do that.
Love this lesson. Don't want to be a hillbilly player. I've played it 96,000 out of 97,608 plays so as to get the right feel and get the chords down. Thanks.
Excellent!!... You mentioned in answer to a comment/question, that the 'melody' is pre-recorded...
I mainly play Folk & Blues on the guitar, but to a lesser degree on the mandolin. When (trying to)
explain to other musician friends what I 'do', i find it hard! :-) Of course there is basic chord
playing, as well as purely melody playing, but I play a combination of both at the same time !
While playing PARTS of chords, I intermix it with playing most of the MELODY at the same time,
when holding mostly various chord SHAPES with the left hand, while picking the melody too.
So the left hand doesn't have to 'hunt' all over the place to finger the 'scale' notes...
Notes or chords are then always available for the choosing. I don't know what to call it though !! :-)
Very excellent method, I play mandolin since 60 years, but I have not see this still earlier.
This was fantastic thank you, just got myself a Mandolin
Excellent video! Just inherited a very old banjo mandolin and this vid gives me a nice head start in getting my head around it. Cheers!
Thanks....I'm learning so this will be great to try
My father in law bought me a mandolin for Christmas so tutorial has really helped! Many thanks!
That’s my next book purchase after I get through your Mandolin Exercises AMAZING book.
Thanks Don for the variety, after all it is the spice of life. The two finger chords are also a great addition to any mandolinists aresenal, especially the ones in part three. I use them alot in blues and rock as they are good starting points for pentatonic runs and fills. And who cares about the BG police, cause they also work wonderfully in bluegrass. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Thank you Don.........as a guitar player that is new to th mandolin, this is a great breakdown of 3 basic rhythms. Santa is bringing me your new book, and I will start lessons online with Mike Marshall. You rock!
I shared your video on facebook. This is an extremely helpful tutorial IMO.
Great little lesson-- thanks!
Thank you for this!! Cool stuff to work on.
Thank you! much needed for a newbie.
I so want one!!!
Awesome,informative video! Thanks a ton!
I would consider it a great and pleasant experience to hang out with you and picnic and Play
That was excellent! Very nicely explained, and extremely useful. Keep 'em coming!
Good lesson. The bluegrass barn dances are parallel to hornpipes, however, the timing differences, although tiny, make a huge difference in how they are interpreted and so how they sound. It is good to have several approaches in the tool box.
I've recently started to learn how to play the mandolin for when I go traveling by foot to busk I'm quite excited
Where are you leaving from? I am going to do something similar.
Edmonton
Nice, travels rough, just be prepared.
+Poison Joe thank you :)
Thanks....Great lesson !
Thanks, very helpful!!
Thanks for sharing.
I found a mandolin in my basement. Its either 80’s or 90’s one it is missing some strings and a bridge. I cannot wait to start playing. (Learn).
Great stuff, thnx for the post
Thanks fpr lesson I have played guitar for 30 years.. I just got a top of line loar and I am learning..
I love music so much thank you
great video, thanks!
thanks for the helpful video!
Great tips .. you have a new fan here Don, my thanks ...
great video thank you
Very useful - thanks fella.
Very good video, thanks a lot for your time.'.
This video is very helpful
very interessing vidéo. it s hard to go out of the basic chop chord & rhythm when you play bluegrass or American tunes and you show very good example for accompagning in other way.
Can't wait to try them and make up some of my own @w@
That's Perfect!!! thank you so much , you help me so much!!! =)
My dog ate my martin mandolin. Time to go shopping. Advice.....dont store beef jerky in your mando gig bag!
???
wow
See when i use this excuse my band director sends me to the principals office
Thanks
Do you happen to have a video teaching leads as well?
Could someone please provide the tab for the chords for the bluegrass strumm? I can see the D is 745X, but couldn't figure out the others...
I heard someone play a mandolin in city center, and as a guitar play i gotta say i kinda want one now
even through i already suck at guitar
We are always learning bud. Don't feel that way about being a musician. Practice...practice.
I can read and compose music. Played guitar many years ago. I got a mandolin for Christmas. How many years does it take to play like that?
May I ask what brand that mandolin is? It sounds great
Awesome rhythm tutorial! Here is a video of me playing this tune on the fiddle in the style of Andy de Jarlis, with a link to the lesson: Whiskey Before Breakfast
Thanks much! :))
Cool
You can hear the mando fine if you know how to listen
like jiggy jar jar do ,dur dur dee dur
Happy 2 years upload, 6 jan is also my birthday yay!
It is a Stanley made by Chris Stanley in Wisconsin.
I wish I had of found you years ago lol
How long have you been playing roughly?
is there a 2nd mandolin in there playing lead?
100--100 nice ,but away to advanced for me to catch you lololo lovely ty
That world music/celtic rhythm sounded a bit like Bo Diddley for a while there!
How do you tune your mandolin? I'm baffled. Can't get nowhere even in recemblece with standard tuning. Love this, keep posting!
they have mandolin tuners on market and online
como conseguir el libro de Mandolina For Dummies???
Bonjour, I am french . Where can i buy your method ?
So long bernard
Yes me too
I didn't know Mike Ehrmantraut could play mandolin!!!!
Top quality info. Just difficult though, in that usual mandolin way. Chubby fingers on the very narrow neck...just can't quite make those unique chords out
oh, so that's a mandolin!! (my reaction from a violinist's/guitarist's perspective)
And, he tunes his mandolin really different than me. I'm no mandolin god. But, I'm not inventing the wheel. No matter how you tune, he is still right on.
How do you tune it?
Epicccccccc
Was the pre recorded melody also played on a Mandolin!??! Thank you in Advance!!
yes
TO THE MUSIC STORE!!!
I have contacted the Bluegrass Police and they are on the way to your house right now.
Thats what i want to know too! There must be someone in the background doing some backup.
Yeah
Howdy Don I have a question due ya and I do believe it’s a question that a lot of new mAndolin players including me struggles with, it’s the ole boomchuck chop technique, for me it’s only the fast bluegrass songs, I find myself strumming the chop on the onbeats instead of the offbeat sound u hear mAndolin players using on slower to medium paced tracks
For ya**
So is that okay it is it just totally wrong, it’s the same rhythm as that pseudo bluegrass chop u explained in this vid
make of it mando?it talks Bak great
My mandolin doesn't sound nearly as bright and thin as his, mine sounds dark, warm and gets real muddy in a way that a folk-punk like myself really likes.
Thats good if you like it's tone
What brand is your mandolin
It's a Kentucky, a style, forgot the model name
Cool
I might be getting a Rogue as my first mandolin :D
I have a rouge, it's the best shitty mandolin you'll ever have, you'll love it, just gotta put in a little work to get it really playable but that's no biggie. I love mine, never done me wrong.
Keep in mind though it's frets are a tad iffy so expect that.
Poison Joe me too
what's song name at 0.54 ?
Thanakorn Pannara whiskey before breakfast
👍👌👏👏 !!
just out of interest - what sort of powers of arrest would the bluegrass police have?
nice video
i know this is a joke but some people may take it seriously... the video is about rhythms not the melody (which you can also check out for practising some pickin')
@romeohio 2006 READ THE TITLE of this video.
YEEt
Anyone know the chords for the Old Time style?
Torsten Davis D C E it looks like but I'm not sure
d c g
Em also
Torsten Davis uk
Search ukalale
wait wait wait.. he was just strumming and holding down a chord.. hoW DID ALL THAT FANCY STUFF HAPPEN??? ANYONE ELSE CONFUSED???????
Abigail this is a lesson in RHYTHM playing. I am demonstrating three different ways of playing RHYTHM for a specific melody. The melody is pre-recorded. It is intended to simulate playing with other people. After all, the time that you play RHYTHM is when someone is singing or someone else is playing the melody. Playing the RHYTHM on it's own would not give you any context to how or where to use it. Sorry for the confusion.
Don Julin he’s just playing the background of the song😂 I wish it was that easy
It took me a minute to figure out the melody was pre-recorded. lol. I was also confused. lol
I was literally just yelling “how are you doing that!” at the video lmao
Don Julin ohhhhhhhhhhh Lol I thought you were inhuman for a minute there, playing the fancy part with telekinesis or black magic! Lol
is there any other one playing ??
Please read my reply below
Is it me or Phillip Seymour Hoffman is playing the mandolin?
Hard for me
He's playing with a backing track on his computer.
@Ayjays0z
feet were tapin the whole time
pear.
Oh my. I'm an idiot. never mind.
you play to close to the frets. just saying
