    Feel free to add here some of the blues mandolin lesson videos available on YouTube. There are quite a few developing these days, and I think it's good to have a bunch of them collected in one place.

    These can be easy and elementary lessons, or advanced lessons, doesn't matter. Some of the ones I'll add here are also posted elsewhere in the group, some were made by group members. These are lesson videos; the only performance videos will be ones where you can readily see and analyze the player's hands. There is a thread already in this group for YouTube videos of mandolin blues perfomances here: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/g...595&do=discuss

    Heath Joyce

    I believe Heath Joyce is solid in Bluegrass and Celtic styles, so his blues lessons can be of help to bluegrass players - that's my theory, anyway, I'm not a bluegrasser but his blues lessons seem to spring from that background.
