That makes a lot of sense: in the previous exercice there are two measures with the same string changes but notated as glides and not alternate:

I already made the glide on the first...
Hi!
I'm following the Calace method and I got stuck on the exercice no 82 in part 2. The picking direction is indicated on all notes on the first measure, and seems to imply that all the exercise...
I think part of the "legitimate" aspect is due to the relative scarcity of classical mandolinists compared with the folk/bluegrass ones. For example, I live in a relatively big city (Barcelona, 1,6M...
