I'm clearly at the threshold of upper beginner-lower intermediate and was scratching my head on how to actually deploy an improv, but now this video made it obvious that it's basically sticking to the tones in a chord and adding nuances. As a first step, that is.
Nice one, very good lesson. I bought a mando 3 weeks ago, I have played guitar for 40 years and with this simple lesson I can now start playing music and not just playing scales. Thanks (love the cat) 🤘🍺🎸
Thanks for all of this good practical info. Near the end a couple of times you played a slide with kind of a tremolo. Can you give a lesson on how to do that? Thank you I've got a ton of things to work on.
With all that traffic noise in the back ground I would swear you live close to 485 during rush hour🤪. Looking forward to future lessons as I am transitioning from guitar to mandolin.
That was fun. I've been looking for awhile through various channels and can't find the next lesson in this. No one seems to have done a lesson on minor arpeggios, or 7ths. I get you have to start simple, but most songs have a minor or 2.
You may have learned you can flatten the major third a half step (one fret) to find your minor arpeggio - which would be the second note in the ascending lick taught here. I’d like to give some thought to a follow up video with this, thanks for the comments!
@@ChrisHenryVideos Yes, thanks. Your follow up lesson to this mentioned that, so I'm going through the common minors I need all the time, and closed positions so I can do it on the fly. I figure the 7ths will work the same way, will try that next. Still seems like there's room for an in-between lesson that spells it out. Took me a fair bit of searching. Thanks for doing this, great stuff.
The mandolin itself has excellent projection and I also often aim to pick the strings in a way that inspires the top to vibrate a lot. There is a decent amount of mechanical force happening.
Fun teacher-love the cat- need to follow . Thanx

Very welcome Jeff! I will mark that on a list of topics I’d like to cover, thanks for the suggestion. 😀🎶
Excellent!

Drive that mandolin highway!
That was fun.

How do you achieve the volume from your mandolin?
The mandolin itself has excellent projection and I also often aim to pick the strings in a way that inspires the top to vibrate a lot. There is a decent amount of mechanical force happening.
dog!
