    For many years now I have been buying instruments on eBay and using the Dummies books along with UA-cam to teach myself how to play them (flute, mandolin, violin, guitar, and trumpet so far) I'm telling you those books are full of secrets and make it really easy (along with practice) to learn how to play an instrument. In my opinion doing this is better and cheaper then video game systems & games and playing video games!!!

    I have a bazukki, that hangs on the wall for decoration but I just learned that they are also tuned like a mandolin. Do you know if the octave mandolin and the basukki are similiar instruments? Thanks again, lookinn forward to spending a lot of time with your videos.

    That is soooo cool. I just got done making a mandolin and this will be my next song I learn. Thanks for making this video. I see you have a couple of down thumbs. Well, I give those who gave you a thumbs down a THUMBS DOWN! (Unbelievable) You must have a fair amount of time arranging this and most of us really appreciate it. Thanks again. If you see a large increase of views coming up it’s probably me. :)

  • @commentOshimasu
    @commentOshimasu 10 років тому

    This was breathtakingly beautiful - I've now resolved to purchase an instrument by the end of the week. What type of traditional mandolin' is being used here, specifically? I've heard descriptors like A-type, etc. being thrown around, but have now decided that this is exactly what I want. So if anyone has a second, please do let me know. :)

    • @nman48
      @nman48 10 років тому

      The octave mandolin (first shown) has lower notes than a standard mandolin. He is using an A type F hole mandolin for the melody (second shown). The octave mandolin is a round hole A type. The other type of mandolin ( not shown) is the F type mandolin which typically has the scroll work on the wood. . Each string on an octave mandolin is one octave lower than the corresponding string on a standard mandolin, but they are tuned the same G-D-A-E. (fourth to first strings)

    If anyone wants the chord chart email me at donjulin@charter.net. I do not have any tab for this, but if you watch, listen and imitate, you will get it. Go back to the original LZ recording and try to play along once you have the basics down. You will know it much better if you challenge yourself to learn it without having paper in front you.

    • @donjulinlessons
      @donjulinlessons  4 роки тому

      Hi there are many ways to play chords on the octave mandolin. Most of them are incomplete chords due to the nature of the instrument. Sorry the camera angle was not so good on this video. It was many years ago and I have improved my camera skills. You can see the complete lesson and get the chord diagrams at www.mandolinshealtheworld.com
